AS for the panthers there have been 125 panther attacks in the US in the past 100 years - 27 fatalities. All of the attacks were wild panthers - none had escaped from a zoo.

Reality: Every one of the zoo's panthers are equipped with chips. The instant the animal left it's perimeter, alertswere sounded and a team was sent to capture it before it escaped the zoo, The zoo has large fence around itsperimeter as well.

But there is a hypothetical chance that pathers could escape from a zoo, so best- i guess it will be argued - just toshut down all the zoos.
