To what extent will our
society be too focused around stupid matters? Recently, a Houston Zoo had to
disband its "no gun" policy because the citizens felt it was their
right to carry guns on the technically public land, which is owned by a private
entity. It was from the success of the lawsuit that lawyers are taking aim at
the Dallas Zoo now.
The Dallas Zoo has signs
posted all the premises stating its "no gun" policy. It is from these
signs that the select citizens feel slighted and now are taking legal actions
because of the previously similar successful lawsuit. To me, it makes
completely logical sense why it does not allow guns on the premises, this being
because it is a freaking zoo.
Now I get it, citizens
do have the right to their guns and what not, and do not get me wrong, I am all
for it, but just not in the zoo. I think Dallas is handling the PR side of
these claims extremely well. The zoo immediately appointed a spokesperson to
handle all matters relating to the topic. The zoo is not ignoring the
responses, rather acknowledging it and responding transparently. The only issue
I can see it facing is that Texas sure loves its guns and will fight day and
night for it.
It is still early to see
what the outcome may or may not be, but as of right now, the Dallas Zoo is
doing exactly what it should do in a situation as this one.
Until Next Time,

Matt,
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting. I didn't know the gun control fight has went this far. I too agree that the people should have the right to their guns, but a zoo? I don't think people are thinking logically about the situation. How many people on average get attacked at zoos? I find it absurd that people are willing to take it this far.
