WRS Condemns Boy Who Did Backflip In White Rhino Enclosure

In light of Covid-19 travel restrictions, many of us are ‘turning inwards’ during the December holidays, revisiting many of our local attractions.

The Singapore Zoo is naturally one of the most popular sites to visit.

Recently, a video was shared on TikTok showing a boy trespassing into a Rhino enclosure at the Singapore Zoo and doing a backflip inside.

In response, Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) said that such behaviour is reckless and irresponsible.

Boy does backflip in white rhino enclosure

The TikTok video – re-shared on Twitter on Thursday (17 Dec) – starts off with a guy on what appears to be a tram at the Singapore Zoo.

The clip then cuts to footage of the teenager running into the White Rhino exhibit, with a few of the horned creature in the background.

Without warning, he then does a backflip while inside the muddy enclosure.

After which, he promptly ran out of the enclosure and jumped over the fence.

WRS says its reckless and dangerous behaviour

On Friday (18 Dec), WRS took to Instagram to address the matter.

Acknowledging that the boy had trespassed and encroached into the White Rhino exhibit, they described it as being a “reckless and mindless act”.

The whole video.

 

 

They condemned the boy’s behaviour, saying that it is not only socially irresponsible but also very dangerous.

At the end of the day, it is also a display of disrespect to the animals.

WRS then asked the public not to encourage such acts as they put lives in danger.

Be a responsible citizen

Many youths today seem emboldened and go to great extents for clout on social media.

While we’re glad that the boy managed to come out of this incident unscathed, this might not always be the case.

Hopefully, it’s a lesson for everyone to be responsible in public spaces and to think carefully before committing such dangerous acts.

Haix, social media again. The boy wanna flaunt and show off in his tiktok, then he pull such a stunt.

Young and energetic. Many youngsters will go though the phase of wanting to try out new things, wanting to do some funny, wanting to do some prank and etc.. The difference between say 20 yrs ago and now is that 20 yrs ago, there is no such thing as tiktok, no such thing as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and etc. So whatever these people does is just the audience at the scene only. However now with tiktok, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and etc.. They have additional channel to showcase their prank, daring videos and etc.. So everything else equal, today what they had done has a lot higher chance of get caught as compared to doing it say 20 yrs ago.

Define irony. 

Irony is when you wear a mask to avoid dying of COVID-19 while entering a rhinoceros enclosure to do acrobatics for social media exposure. 

Now that's irony! 😂

agree. he thinks he is cool. Actually he is stupid. Remember the poor boy jumped at Orchard Central, he just wanted to impress his lady friend.

Its very similar to those kids that smoke openly  in the bus.  Or do other stuff that break the law and post for all to see. Ppl say they rebellious.  But to go in deeper.

They want acknowledgement from the rest. They know they are look down upon. No 1 like them ,every 1 say they gone case.

They  want ppl to look them even if in a bad way.
