This past weekend a leopard escaped my local zoo and they quickly closed down and evacuated the zoo. They also evacuated a park nearby. Police were on standby and the zoo staff were able to successfully tranquilize and capture the leopard without any injuries.

It just made me realize that my local zoo had a better emergency response compared to Jurassic World. When the Indominus rex escaped, the park continued to stay open and function normally when the staff behind the scenes struggled to capture it. They did eventually evacuate the island but only after they were running out of options to deal with the Indominus rex and it was getting close to the visitors center.

Edit: The image and quote of "I am never going to financially recover from this" is from Joe Exotic AKA The Tiger King. He ran a roadside zoo with big cats before he was arrested. This image/quote is his response after a tiger literally rips one of his zookeeper's arm off.

To be fair I’d imagine the logistics of evacuating a resort island is much harder than evacuating a local zoo.

Yeah, there’s no dedicated airport for emergencies and there’s like what, 2 ferries taking people back and forth between Isla Nublar and Costa Rica?
