In the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, Richard Hanson states that on Aug. 5, 2019, his then two-year-old daughter, the plaintiff in the case, was at the Aldergrove zoo and put her arm through an unguarded chain-link fence located at the zoo’s black bear exhibit. He says a group of black bears attacked and mauled her arm.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
Injuries suffered by the girl include a fracture to her left distal ulna, the partial amputation of the left distal phalanx, loss of muscle tissue, lacerations, contusions and scarring, according to the suit.Article content “At all material times, the fence and/or the bears constituted a hazard to invitees accessing the premises,” says the lawsuit.
In an email statement, Menita Prasad, the zoo’s director of animal care and deputy general manager, said that the zoo adheres to the safety standards put forward by Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums organization to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their patrons and animals.
'incident occurred in an area that is not authorized for public access' - how did she get there? Did father ignore the signs, or did zoo leave the door open? If only journalist answered the question before publishing incomplete article 🤷🏻♀️
So was the bear out of his compound? Oh, forgot, bad things that happen to us are always someone else’s fault.
Omg. Pay attention to your own f'n kids ffs.
I am sad for the child & her suffering but, it was her father's responsibility to be watching his child & ensuring that she didn't enter the area that the zoo established & made known to all to not breach.
Why the fuck is there still zoos?

Father of girl whose arm was allegedly mauled by bears at Greater Vancouver Zoo files lawsuitA B.C. father whose daughter was allegedly injured in an attack by bears at the Greater Vancouver Zoo has filed a lawsuit seeking damages. Unfortunate accident for the little girl. What where the adults doing beyond the safety fence zone? Negligence it would seem. So - this so-called 'father' lets his two year old into an area the public isn't allowed to be in, and then isn't watching while she puts her arm in the cage... ... and then sues the zoo? Ballsy. The father should be charged with trespassing and endangerment - “We can confirm the incident occurred in an area that is not authorized for public access.”

Father of girl whose arm was allegedly mauled by bears at Greater Vancouver Zoo files lawsuitA B.C. father whose daughter was allegedly injured in an attack by bears at the Greater Vancouver Zoo has filed a lawsuit seeking damages. When do parents become accountable. This is insane. He’s suing the zoo because he allowed his 2 year old to stick her arm through a chain link fence where bears were? I am not a fan of this zoo (or any), but that’s crazy. A no common sense parent issue.
