Zookeepers Train for Level Three Furry Outbreak: TOKYO, Feb 21: A zoo employee dressed as an escaped mock gorilla tries to attack visitors during a training exercise at Ueno Zoo February 21, 2006 in Tokyo, Japan. Under the assumption that a big earthquake could happen at any time in Tokyo, the training is conducted for zoo staff in how to capture animals and lead the visitors to safety.

ya know... if this was ever on Pay-Per-view,I'd pay top dollar to see this training video!
It's actually not all that exciting. I've seen them do it in real life (non-furry) to herd hoofstock. (The wife is a zookeeper.) Many times, the staff doesn't have nets, but just ropes or poles and occasionally just outstretched arms and loud voices. And, since most zoos are horribly understaffed, it tends to be rather Three-Stoogian as a limited number of people try to expand to fill an inevitably larger surface for the containment bubble.
"it tends to be rather Three-Stoogian"
that's WHY I want to see it! ;-)
barrel avoidance training is essential for zookeepers.
I think you're looking for this.
Dear Japanese People indeed.
Rorikon, the Japanese word for pedophilia, is a contraction of the borrowed English words "Lolita," after the girl in Vladimir Nabokov's book of the same name, and "complex."
While true, I'm not really getting the connection here. Or is this just a case of "any opportunity to discuss Japanese Pedophiles" creeping into sight?
Dear Americans...
I was sitting in an airport laughing my ass off about this. They showed the video on cnn.
