Five meerkats were euthanized Thursday, a day after a 9-year-old girl reached her hand into the exhibit and was bitten. The meerkats - two adults and their three babies born in spring - were vaccinated for rabies, but state health protocol required that they be killed and tested because the girl's parents didn't want her to undergo a series of six painful rabies shots." ....
Zoo's are the one place where endangered species are suppose to be protected...but aparently not from a 9 year old with crappy parents...hopefully they have'nt polluted the world with more offspring.
