I caught the tail end of the news conference and the zoo people just said in cases like this the biggest impact is to the animals as often the "quick fix" is to confine the animals to their cages instead of letting them roam their enclosure during the night. They said something like "people do thinks on a lark and the long term affects are usually felt by the animals." I'm hoping that doesn't occur and I'm hoping the only long term affects are the scars the dufus has to carry around with him now.
