Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Over today to Loro Parque Zoo located on the Spanish island of Tenerife. Take one test drill aimed at perfecting the emergency plan that was in place should a gorilla escape. Put one zoo employee in a gorilla suit. Send in the ape team. Make sure everyone knows what to do. Check. Opps maybe not. Nobody told the vet. So armed with a loaded tranquillizer gun and enough sedative to take down a 400lb gorilla the vet sprang into action. Take fire and aim. One gorilla down or sadly NOT. Staff searched frantically for their colleague eventually finding him comatose dressed only in his underwear. Needless to say he was rushed to hospital where he made a full recovery. Why he was in his underpants lord knows? Bananas if you ask me.
Have a fabulous Friday all. PS Wordpisspress bloggers we are having problems again commenting and when they do go through they disappear maybe into your spam folders. GRRRRRRR!
Great dawg...please tell me that didn't really happen! If it did, I surprised the guy made it through okay. Eek! Have a great weekend, Molly! *Cairn cuddles* Oz
Ouch I felt the sting of that humongous needle. As the say communication is the key to everything. Love the gorilla at the drums. At our NC Zoo they are sending our gorillas to another zoo for a year..I'm not sure why the enclosure is new so maybe it is breeding issues or new blood so to speak Hugs madi and raspberries to wordP.....
Ouch! We have learned an impawtant lesson from your post Molly. Never, ever, dress up like a gorilla when there is a trigger happy vet around. Poor hooman.
You really have to wonder how a guy in an gorilla suit was mistaken for a real gorilla. I think I would find a new vet and hire the guy in the suit for a mini-series or something because clearly he is a superb actor.
yes. Bananas... you can eat them only peeled lol. Maybe we shoukld send some WP-monkeys to the ape-team too? Have a good friday !

That has to be the wildest emergency preparedness gone wrong story I have ever heard! So, no recovery of the suit... uh-oh...
ReplyDeleteServes anyone who dresses in a gorilla suit right.
ReplyDeleteWe had the same thing happen here but it was a bear suit
ReplyDeleteBOL! Where on earth do you come up with this stuff???
ReplyDeleteYou really have to wonder how a guy in an gorilla suit was mistaken for a real gorilla. I think I would find a new vet and hire the guy in the suit for a mini-series or something because clearly he is a superb actor.
