VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE STAFF MEMBER AT THE METRO TORONTO ZOO THAT PUSHED MY DAUGHTER.......
We were in the African Sculpture Hut right beside the African picnic area, and Matilda was touching everything LIKE A 3 YEAR OLD DOES, and she had a stone hippo in her hand and the guy that runs the place came running over shouting no no no no and grabbed the hippo from her and pushed her down at the same time........ the stupid thing was worth $50..... I told him to back away from my daughter before I punch him in the face.. and he lucky that I did not anyways..... he says she cant touch it she will break it... I said how am supposed to buy something for her if she cant touch it, kids cant pick something by looking, they want to touch it and smell it, if she breaks it I buy it.. RIGHT?.... I left the tent and called security, I will also be emailing the Zoo, and filing a police report....

I sent this to 3 different departments at the zoo:
VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE STAFF MEMBER AT THE METRO TORONTO ZOO THAT
PUSHED MY DAUGHTER.......
I
have been going to the zoo every year as long as I can remember, and
this year I decided to by a Membership as My daughter will be turning 3
next week, and loves it at the zoo and much as I do!! I have been there
at least twice a month since may, if not more. and had planned to
continue this pattern all summer long.
We
were in the African Sculpture tent down the small hill right beside the
African picnic area, and Matilda was touching everything LIKE A 2 YEAR
OLD DOES, and she had a stone hippo in her hand and the guy that runs
the place came running over shouting no no no no and grabbed the hippo
from her and pushed her down at the same time (It was intentional I saw
him do it) and it was very hard for me to stay calm and call
security........ the stupid thing was worth maybe $60..... he says she
cant touch it she will break it... I said how am supposed to buy
something for her if she cant touch it, kids cant pick something by
looking, they want to touch it and smell it, if she breaks it I buy it..
RIGHT?.... I left the tent and called security, I will also be, and
filing a police report.... and probably won't be returning to the zoo as
long as this man is there, as I now feel he is a danger to children... I
will be warning ALL of my friends and family about this as well on
Facebook and Twitter.
I
am sorry all this had to happen and I look forward to your quick
response time, to let me know when it is safe for children to go to the
zoo again!
Thank you
Franklin S......
