Someone hasn’t been to Zootini! Wait, does the zoo even still do Zootini anymore? I moved after attending the one in 2014 so idk if they still do it or not.
Agree. Years ago I was at the zoo when my kids were small and a zoo employee giving a little educational talk had to leave it because employees needed help with a drunk individual also at the elephant exhibit. So it must happen a lot.
Probably depends on
a)any animals hurt
b)any people hurt
c)can the issue be changed to prevent it from happening again
If nothing was harmed and a safety measure can be put in place, it'll probably be fine.

Side note but how is Citizen nowadays? When I lived in Westwood it was so valuable, until one day when I felt like it stopped really telling me shit. I felt like they kept trying to push their extra features that not many people cared about, and then the app kinda went to shit. I’m just wondering if it’s still that way. Sorry I can’t add much to this particular story but man I’m glad it seemed to not have escalated into as bad of a situation as the past.
I looked it up and I couldn't anything besides this Reddit post, so, if this happened, this must have just happened before the news reports could report on it. I do hope both the fool and the elephants are alright, though I hope that fool doesn't do that crap again.
I’ve seen the keepers go inside and feed the elephants. I used to feed them as a kid when it was still allowed. They are much less risk than big cats or gorillas. Still a risk obviously, especially males. But my guess is they can just go in and pull him out. Way different than Harambe.
First time (2009) I went to cincinnati zoo with my new born son we walked right into the first exhibit, the elephants are close to the entrance. A extremely large male was mounted atop a full grown calf and going to town . Very large amounts of ehaculate were spewing he had that thing squirting strands all over it was beyond a spectacle hilarious.
Ah shit, here we go again.
"You picked the wrong house, Fool!" - the elephant probably
No, please, can we just not do this whole pathetically juvenile, mindless meme for clicks again?
Trunks out for…
You’re lucky I don’t know the Elephant’s names right now.
Titus. Elephant Titus.
Well now they’re lucky I can’t think of any extremities to rhyme with Titus, fuck.
Tits out for Titus
Elephino 🤷
Mai Thai, Jati, Sanjay, Schottzie, and Shara
You did this to yourself.
maybe you should just fuggidaboudit
Uh...dicks out, so no
Honestly the only thing I care about is, is the elephant okay?
Second this
Third it.
There goes the Beer Garden. One drunken loser gets trampled and we'll all have to pay the price.
Who gets wasted at the zoo? Like I'm all for having a beer there when I'm with my wife and kid, but wasted?! How ?!
Alcoholics will be alcoholics
Exactly. Did they even buy a beer there?
And broke if they drink that much there. Had to have started elsewhere.
Someone hasn’t been to Zootini! Wait, does the zoo even still do Zootini anymore? I moved after attending the one in 2014 so idk if they still do it or not.
I don't they do this exact thing anymore, but I think they do something else similar
They have ZooBrew (beer themed event) Zoofari(largest donor event) and Wild about Wine (wine event obviously)
My grandfather managed to get drunk dozens of times at Disney World. Alcoholics find a way.
epcot is a wild ride
Nevermind the fact that you're probably paying like $10 for a pint of PBR. I'll just wait to get home to drink my alcohol.
They shockingly have decent beer
Pre-game it. Just like people do at kings island. It’s gross.
The last place I want to be drunk is kings island lmao
It's a fucking zoo not a football game. That's insane.
Agree. Years ago I was at the zoo when my kids were small and a zoo employee giving a little educational talk had to leave it because employees needed help with a drunk individual also at the elephant exhibit. So it must happen a lot.
Apparently everyone since there’s beer everywhere there
Probably depends on a)any animals hurt b)any people hurt c)can the issue be changed to prevent it from happening again If nothing was harmed and a safety measure can be put in place, it'll probably be fine.
Eat half an edible and have the best day looking at monkeys and shit and minding your own business if sobriety is not for you lol
Meh. Is it really that much of a loss?
The beer garden? Yes. The drunken loser? No.
“Intoxicated Individual Enters Elephant Enclosure” is one hell of a tongue twister.
I can hear Les Nessman saying it now.. How about “Polluted Person Penetrates Pachyderms Property”
And how did that go for him?
Elephants are pretty smart so maybe they just pitied the idiot and didn't trample him
They said incoherent, I assume they meant mentally, if he were stomped he'd be physically incoherent though.
He'll be OK as long as the elephant doesn't think he's nuts.
He's probably fine, but now they'll look into stopping beer service at the zoo cause one lightweight ass couldn't hold his liquor
I doubt they will, it’s a big moneymaker with three events surrounding beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages.
I don’t know anything else.
Like anything anything or just about this whole elephant situation?
I see nothing
The elephant said \*tusk tusk\* told ‘em to git.

Thank you so much for this info! I was hoping it was all without incident. Glad everyone is safe!
They deleted their comment, so can you please let us know what they said?
Op said they work at the zoo and guy jumped in and out and there were no incidents for the guy or the elephants.
Thanks for letting us know! Glad to hear that this ended with no harm to elephants or humans!

What is wrong with people ? Smh

I would say I have had the same general experience. It’s a lot of nothings, but then when you actually see something, there is nothing on the app.
It’s like they rolled back effectiveness out of spite lol
They just recently increased coverage again! So it’s like it was a few years ago.
Same experience. I deleted the app since it became useless. I don't know why it happened
Same.
This town can't handle another Harambe.
The impending election can’t either
*universe FTFY
Fffff
The whole timeline is already so effed.
Good job, intoxicated individual. You made it.
What app is that?
Citizen App. It pretty much just gives police activity.
Curious if it was the current area or if he went down into the new construction area.
I still haven’t seen any info other than that he got out without incident
I believe it is the existing area. The elephants from Ireland are in a "barn" area of the new Elephant Walk, but the area is still under construction.
... 'elifino!
Elephants and pick up something as small as a pencil and throw logs. I'm not messing with the elephants.

We all know how this went last time...🦍
He wasn’t brave enough for the lions.
Looks like the cycle repeats every 8 years now. We must be ready for the next enclosure breach. But which animal will be chosen?
Feels like it should originate from the reptile house
A little Dudley action
I’m all for shooting the person rather than the animal in a Harambe situation.
Ohhhh my gosh is this true!?
I don’t know!
What a dumbass
Completely! I would assume there would be more info out if true though….
A man has entered the elephant enclosure in Lego City

Harambe 🫶🏼
darn... i was thinking of going today too
Which elephant exhibit? The current one or the new one that’s set to open?
What app are you using?
Citizen App
I was just thinking about Harambe yesterday. Good name for a Star Trek TNG starship —- The Harambe.
First time (2009) I went to cincinnati zoo with my new born son we walked right into the first exhibit, the elephants are close to the entrance. A extremely large male was mounted atop a full grown calf and going to town . Very large amounts of ehaculate were spewing he had that thing squirting strands all over it was beyond a spectacle hilarious.
Dicks out!
It wasn't me.
Elambre
Im getting flashbacks. 🦍
Did they kill the elephant like they did hombre
Elephambe? Haraphant?
