Place should be closed down (but then the animals are killed) or heavily fined and the viewing area made safe not adult waist high fencing. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/family-boy-thrown-crocodile-enclosure-092814477.html
The family of the boy who was allegedly thrown into a crocodile enclosure has thanked
They said in a statement: "We would like to thank the staff at the zoo who rescued our son from the enclosure.
"We are truly grateful for the public support and well-wishes we have received, as well as to everyone who has been directly involved in our son's care and recovery in hospital.
"Our attention remains focused on his recovery and supporting him through this extremely challenging and prolonged period of time."
Mrs Johnson was called a "hero" after leaping into the enclosure when the boy fell in, rescuing the child from the crocodiles.
A 30-year-old-man from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but was later bailed after he was "assessed as not being fit for interview".
Police are understood to be assessing the actions of two carers who were looking after the man during his trip to the zoo.
The zoo's collection includes saltwater, Nile and Siamese crocodiles, as well as American alligators and caimans.
Pete Lewis, who was at the zoo at the time of the incident with his six-year-old daughter, said staff probably saved the boy's life.
He said: "I did see the boy being carried out. It appeared that staff or members of the public had gone into the enclosure to rescue the boy and almost certainly prevented further injury."
A fundraising page has been set up to support the boy's recovery and give the family financial stability as they support their son.
If funds remain after meeting the family's needs, they are expected to be donated to charities and organisations within the Addenbrooke's Trust, which support families facing similar challenges.
The crocodile enclosure reopened to the public nine days after the incident.
