I bet that person killed the rare goat, the 48 sting-rays and baby elephants as well! That zoo sounds sketchy!

This infuriates me. A two-day suspension for crushing an animal to death through negligence? You’d think *not* killing the residents would be a prerequisite for working at a zoo. But no.

What a terrible way to die! I feel especially bad for the male capybara, who looks really depressed in the video. I bet he had to witness the whole thing and now he has capybara nightmares. Poor little guy.

The only being more evil than the usual animal enemies of the capybara (the evil killer Alpacca, the evil killer Boa, the evil killer Crocodile, the evil killer Panther) is the greatest enemy of probably any animal in this world: The evil (or in the Calgary case: stupid) killer Human

I was unaware of capybaras until I saw the news article. I Googled capybaras (“…world’s largest rodent…”) to find out what the heck they were and stumbled across some YouTube videos of you, big fella Caplin. Once I learned what capybaras were and such, I was more saddened over the senseless death. I suppose what got me was the fact that they are large creatures and it wasn’t a quick death … like stepping on a spider (not that I condone that sort of thing, but little home invaders tend to creep me out in the worse way ;p).

At any rate, RIP Adali. A sad day indeed.
