Door Accidentally Left Open

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Seven gorillas escaped  from their enclosure at the 
Columbus Zoo and spent a few hours wandering free in  the ape house.  
The zoo had closed for the day Saturday when keepers noticed a gorilla  loose 
in the house outside of the gorilla enclosure.  
A door had been accidentally left open, allowing the animals to roam  areas 
usually off limits to them.      
The gorillas weren't able to leave the ape house building, but zoo  officials 
say the group managed to have a wild time scattering supplies.  
About three hours after the escape, the gorillas were coaxed back into  their 
outdoor habitat.

In forest, field and den,
The cry goes up to witness
The  soullessness of men.
