Thread: Dusit Zoo Conducts Safety Drill

Simulated tiger escape....visitor falling into bear enclosure moat....journos taking pictures, etc.....













??????????????????????????????"???-????"???????

Yeah, right. Stand a few metres away from a tiger and throw a net at it.



That's got to be a joke, right? A late April Fool's joke?

It was one of those rare tigers that stand still on the two back paws whilst waiting to be snared

The guy throwing the net is pathetic enough, but check out the bloke in the middle armed with a butterfly net.
WTF how is that going to stop a tiger ???

The funniest part of threads like this is always people who feel the need to explain why it's rubbish.

The thread's not rubbish, it's great. It's edumatainment. Thai entertainment at its best.

Because as it's thrown it spots a few vulnerable pandas out of the corner of its eye and goes off to feed on them.

Because, the first thing an escaping Dusit tiger would do is head over to the butterfly enclosure, pull apart the iron chains and let his fellow tiger butterflies escape....

next would be the tiger lillies

Never seen tigers in the Dusit Zoo, maybe they all escaped?

Was there not a zoo somewhere in China where they pretended one of those huge Tibetan dogs was a lion? Until it barked!! That still makes me laugh.

As does the above.

This one....

Still, it seems unprecedented...A safety drill?...Good on them...

Those crocks would make excellent speed bumps.

100 baht for Thai 150 for foreigner now, sod that
