This is in response to the story about Gita, an Asian elephant who died June 10, 2006 at the Los Angeles Zoo (in California). Here's the story:

There's probably even software out there that would alert zoo staff if an animal (who isn't supposed to) laid down. If not, someone could create the software pretty easily, right?

The alarms would be silent, of course.

Think about a museum with thousands of visitors daily and priceless treasures, then think about how many cameras would be needed and how many people to watch the monitors? Is there enough money in the budget? Software would be complex and unreliable. Animals are living, moving creatures unlike plants that can be monitored. You are suggesting an idea that the FBI, the CIA and numerous other agencies would love....to know where people are at and what they are doing. If we could do it for people, then we could do it for animals too. Granted that animals are confined to a given space and people are not, perhaps we need a GPS chip in all living things then we could monitor them...but who could afford the expense of the watchers?

Zoos don't protect their animals the way they should.

such software is not easy to create, and you would have to do it all over again for every animal.
cames and wiring and computers cost money.
and your link is broken
