i think thats stupid of the zoo. they never knew it happened in the first place. if they hadnt seen it on tape, they never would have known. i think its a dumb kneejerk reaction on their part. yes, the boys shouldnt have tresspassed in the first place, but i think its a little late and a little petty to press charges when NOTHING happened!

The only problem I have with this is that you said "Boys". I am sorry but these are grown men and their little prank could have had serious repercutions. There comes a time when we all have to grow up and take responsiblity for our actions. Also I think the zoo HAS to press charges because if they don't I can see other people attempting to do this and the results could be deadly not just for the animals but for the people as well. I think the zoo feels like they have to send a message.

Whatever.

okay.. I'm somewhat scared to post this... but yes. It would be ok. I am a firm believe in 'what I don't know won't hurt me.' I would rather that something happen behind my back than to my face any day if that specific thing is either going to hurt my feelings or my opinon of someone.

I feel bad for the boys of SXO. I think that if MTV wasn't there then this never would have happened to them. I think they still would have done it, but there would have been no cameras there to tell on them!

No if a person broke into my house and TAPED it to be seen on national television, they no it wouldn't be ok not only because they broke in, but it shows that they aren't that bright

Just like Jackass, dumb azz kids will follow and try to take a animal if they sit back and do nothing. And then the next time, it might not be so peaceful, someone could get hurt.

EXACTLY!! unfortunately ever stupid kid in the country is going to think that he/she could jump over a fence at the zoo and steal a seal or a baby elephant. unfortuntely, there are a lot of people who have been hit by the dumb ass stick!

actually, this isn't kneejerk. these boys (and i am sorry, but grown men wouldn't jump over a fence to steal animals from a zoo) did tresspass and it was caught on tape. there is no denying what the did...and they broadcast it on national television. we also don't know that the zoo never knew about it. perhaps they had security cameras that caught it, but it wasn't clear enough. we also are not sure that nothing happened. perhaps animals were harmed (like deltaqte had explained). let's not forget the creative editing. we saw them in the zoo for a minute. the could have been there much longer.

let's also not forget that this happens to people regularly. did you ever speed through the fast lane (or ezpass)? you could be sent a ticket in the mail!!! there doesn't need to be a police officer checking your speed. they caught it on tape! and if you have driven through them without having a fast lane pass, you will be sent a ticket in the mail. people review the tapes, see you committed a crime and send you your punishment.

hurray for the zoo for pressing charges!

How true, how true. Kudos to the Buffalo Zoo for pressing charges.

I went to UB for law school because they have one of the finest public sector programs in the country. THANK YOU, boys of Fraternity Life, for singlehandedly managing to lower the value of my degree and making a mockery of a fine institution and a good city.

While what they did was stupid. I think that the University and the city is making certain that they are not made a mockery of. I don't think anyone looks down on UB or Buffalo for what a group of 'boys' did. They have been suspended from campus and some men have been arrested, I think that UB is doing a fine job of showing that this type of behavior is not acceptable.

Now there is something that I would LOVE to see them try.

Aside from making a mockery of U of B, and letting little kids think it's ok to break into the zoo, every kid is also gonna think that this is what fraternity life is about!

Thank you MTV for further exploiting our apathetic generation and aiding in the anti-greek sentiment that's now more apparent than ever, that we're having a harder time trying to fight.
