Zoo keeper who punched kangaroo in video which shocked the world 'won't be fired' despite sacking calls

That was a great punch and he saved his dog. I would have done the same thing. It was either the dog, him or the kangaroo.

Screw that law, he did what he had to do.

That is crazy. Though I do wish there were stricter laws about touching turtles. I was in the Gili islands this summer and guides were literally grabbing turtles and bringing them to huge groups of tourists so they can all "pet" the turtle. It was horrible.

When I first moved to Hawaii I thought many of these laws were silly. After living there for several years, I did come to understand the reasoning. Conservation is essential to the way of life there. When you have millions of people coming each year into an ecosystem that didn't have humans until a few centuries ago, something has to give. To their credit, they decided that it wasn't going to be the ecosystem. It's still a challenge, but it's broadly supported.

Ya I usually do that as well...then it throws me off when I look to my left and run into a coral and then my breathing gets off and I freak out.

Watermelon thing sounds fun.

It was alot of fun. It kinda feels like you're eating in space because the pieces try to float away and you have to catch them lol.

We did alot of cool things. One of the times when the bottom wasn't too sandy we actually took our fins off and pretended we were in the Matrix. Somersaults, back flips, drop kicks, again, felt like space with hardy no gravity and moving so slow. Used our fins as swords.
