Just so you know, the author of this lj is firmly opposed to all dogs small enough to put in a purse (and the subsequent placement of said dogs inside of purses). This is a crime against both humans and canines and needs to stop.
Bimbos (the usual owners of aforementioned dogs), sometimes bring them onto the grounds of the zoo I work for. Only service dogs are allowed on zoo grounds. For obvious reasons we don't want people bringing pets to the zoo. I've had to tell more than one idiot woman to take her toy joke of dog and leave zoo grounds.
I have a better idea than summary ejection of offenders. Feed the doggettes to the boas and pythons. Always great viewing for zoo visitors. And if the bimbos object, well, there are usually a few hungry tigers around zoos. An experience todays kids can tell their grandkids about!!
There are a couple of gruesome stories from the old days (20+ years ago) regarding dogs at the zoo. In one case an escaped and frightened Doberman ran into the exhibit that used to house Maned Wolves. The poor frightened Doberman saw what it thought were fellow dogs = security. Unfortunately the wolves tore him apart and killed him. In another incident a patron brought his German Shepard on grounds and thought it was cool to let him run around to harass the animals - that is until he got too close to the polar bear cage (back when the bears were in cages with bars). The bear was able to swat the dog's snout clean off it's face and then proceeded to pull the dog right through the bars like a bag of potato chips (apparently making the same noise). Said dog was consumed. So the moral of the story? Dogs + zoo = REALLY BAD IDEA!
