But the 2-month-old's meteoric rise to online stardom has also prompted caretakers to urge visitors to show restraint and to limit her visit hours at Khao Kheow Open Zoo.
But her caretakers are increasingly concerned for her safety, as some fans have thrown water and other objects at Moo Deng. The zoo’s director has threatened legal action.
Officials said Sunday that the zoo had limited visits to the hippo to just Saturday and Sunday, with each viewing round limited to five minutes.
“These behaviors are not only cruel but also dangerous,” zoo director Narongwit Chodchoi was quoted as saying by local media. “We must protect these animals and ensure that they have a safe and comfortable environment,” he said.

Explain the logic here. “This cute animal has gone viral on social media. I must hurt it!”
Glad to see them placing the animals care above profits.

we will not have a harambe 2.0. they need to protect this tiny water demon. if people are mistreating animals, just kick their asses out. it’s really not that hard. also, punching them in the fucking face, too, wouldn’t hurt.
what the fuck. i fucking hate people so much.
imagine throwing anything at this little sweetheart. 😭😭😭

I was reading this post out to my husband and he said “Moo Deng and Chappell Roan are experiencing the same problems right now.”
How does any sane person see a sleeping animal and decide to throw cold water at it….some of y’all are sick In the head
