Maybe GPS locators should be put on some animals ?

Why?

There doesn’t seem to be a serious ongoing problem.

Leave it until it gets serious or do something before it gets serious?.

Well at least leave it until it becomes a mild problem.

After all, these tracking devices are annoying to the animals and interfere with their socialisation. You don’t use them unless truly necessary.

Surely by now they could come up with something that didn’t interfere with anything.

Haven’t heard of any silverback gorillas being stolen recently, so why not build similar observation pens, where people cannot get in and the animals cannot get out?

the answer to that is usually financial constraints and space. It is also really difficult to have the happy medium between good observation, privacy for the animals, adequate access for cleaning and feeding and security.

The meerkat enclosure at Perth Zoo is one of the best for the good balance and one of the few exhibits where there is no bars (but very high windows so kids can see at a low level where the meerkats tend to be. The rails are about chest height for the average adult. The person who stole the kit was lucky, probably had one or more accomplices and physically jumped/climbed the barrier… that is no easy task.

all of the collection are micro chipped, however I don’t now if the vet dept had managed to do that with this young one yet

There are GPS locators on some animals.

Using a radio tracking antenna is so old school.

Joke warning: they have to plug the animals in every second night to recharge the batteries.

how about we just teach people not to steal shit that doesn’t belong to them

We do. That’s what zoos are for. Anyone who steals an animal from a zoo instantly regrets it.

We can even cut their hands off, but still people do it.
