A Pittsburgh Zoo keeper got a round of applause Saturday after helping an animal that fell into a pond.

After a jaguar attacked a woman at the Phoenix area's Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park, the director of the park's accrediting organization said the zoo handled the situation deftly.

Such episodes are then immediately used as a fund raising vehicle by many activist organizations, and so-called wild animal sanctuaries to raise a massive amount of money through donations, and at the same time weaponizing the news event to help further attention to any legislation those organizations may be involved with.
