More than half the people are blaming the 'authorities' on why they couldn't act on time in the Delhi Zoo case.
Why on Earth do we forget that We as a culture at large, don't believe in respecting basic rules.. want to be mindless rebels..feel proud of breaking norms.. and then when something like this happens - STILL don't take ownership for our behavior!
Practically speaking too, it would have taken atleast 5-10 minutes for the authorities come over with the tranquilizer injections - if they Do have anything like that!

Also, for common sense's sake, there cannot be a security/authority shadowing each individual at every public space! There's some ownership of self too.. or are we to assume that we are so moronic to not be responsible at the most basic levels for ourselves too?
Worse is, the blame has been not only fallen on the zoo authorities.. but the animal as well!! IT-IS-BUT-AN-ANIMAL!! Would it say.."Oh, you landed in my territory - let me escort you to the exit??"!!
It was a very disturbing video to see.. but somehow I'm not much affected. Because tomorrow, Again, the situation would be back to square one. Majority among us will again flout rules, act as obtuse cretins and very unhesitatingly still not reflect on the root cause - but will certainly blame the whole world for their misdemeanours!

Umpteen times I end up wondering - What will it take for the majority of our population to dawn in a sense of basic self awareness.?
