On Sunday November 4th a beautiful little boy died at The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium because his mother put him on a slanted wooden railing at the edge of a viewing deck, he fell off of the railing deck, bounced out of the netting below then dropped more than 10 feet into the dogs' enclosure where the African Prairie dogs killed him.  This tragedy only happened because the mother put the child on top of the wooden railing where he was not supposed to be.  I am begging you to sign this petition asking the zoo to not get rid of the African Painted Dogs, it was not their fault & they should not be punished by being made to move.

This is totally unfair. Those poor dogs dont deserve to be relocated for a human error. Keep them at the zoo.

The animals were just being animals. It is heartbreaking what happened but punishing the dogs for a tragic accident is just wrong. Keep them where they belong!
