"To ensure this never happens again, we would like to enact Harambe's Law, that if at anytime this shall occur, the negligent party and or party's be held financially and criminally responsible for any harm and or loss to an animal, specifically when said animal is Critically Endangered."
What do you guys think of this proposed law? It reminds me of how hikers and climbers are now charged if they need to be rescued and it is deemed they acted irresponsibly. It seems reasonable, but I don't know if it would have any unintended negative consequences.
Possibly the law would be ok but I don't see the relevance here, the zoo had an enclosure able to be breached by an unaided 4 year old.
The zoo was at fault, clearly the precautions they had were inadequate.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
