This petition is in honor of EKO, needlessly shot/killed due to human stupidity!

    By now most everyone is aware of the video showing Eko biting the arm of River Rosenquist
    (a hired cleaner who decided to stick his arm in the tiger enclosure to either pet or feed Eko)!
    NOTE:I do not have permission to use the video, but have seen it - it's not overly graphic but it is a little graphic in nature.


    I have questions!

    Why didn't/doesn't the Zoo just have it's OWN cleaning department? This would benefit the zoo itself from any other liabilities!

    In the video you can hear 1 deputy ask if they had a tranquilizer, and another replies no! Why not?
    So, where were the Zoo personell whom should have had tranquilizers?

    Why wouldn't they pursue legal action (they said charges are "possible" at this point)?

    To the cleaning company (HMI Contract Cleaners https://hmicommercialcleaning.com) - you shoulder some of the blame, so what are you going to do as a result of this tragic event?
    Hopefully fire River Rosenquist and pay restitute to the zoo!!
    Look, it all boils down to this: Eko acted on instinct and paid the ultimate price because River Rosenquist acted on stupidity and got what he deserved!

    Please contact @NaplesZoo and voice your opinion and support for Justice For Eko!
    River Rosenquist MUST face severe penalties!
