"The intrusion, however, does mean a slight paradigm shift in zoo security. 'We train staff on what to do if any animals escape, but from now on, we will have to train them on what to do if there are any intruders,' Chodchoy said."
"'No one can violate animals' rights, no matter whether they are in an enclosure or in the wild,' the zoo director told Agence France-Presse."
"'We learned from this lesson and will not allow it to happen again - not to Moo Deng and not to other animals in the zoo.'"
A Thai court fined a man 10,000 baht for trespassing into the enclosure of Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippo. The man filmed himself inside the enclosure, startling the animal but causing no harm. Zoo director Narongwit Chodchoy emphasized the importance of animal rights and announced a shift in security protocols to address potential intruders. The incident reflects the growing obsession with viral content and the lengths individuals will go to capture attention online, particularly regarding beloved animals like Moo Deng.
