Greetings!
Good morning. By now, I'm sure most of you are aware of what transpired with WWAD - Tanzania this past Tuesday.
Although we have no reason to believe that the rhinos singled out our Tanzanian family as targets, we are forced to respond as if they had.
Future pachyderm attacks in the states currently appear unlikely, however we have been put in a position where we are forced to enact global changes.
These rules may appear abstract. However, until we are more clear with what provoked Tuesday's event, we are asking the following:
1) No participants will be permitted to wear Obsession or any other Calvin Klein fragrances. A designated volunteer will be greeting you as you exit your vehicle. Please exhibit patience - our sniffers are only doing their job.
2) No European Football (American soccer) jerseys will be permitted. Hunter green camouflage Snuggies will be provided to those who do not comply.
3) There now a Zero Tolerance policy in place regarding any discussions surrounding the overall attractiveness, intelligence, or odor of the rhino population as a whole.
These are gross stereotypes regarding an entire group and do not fit with the spirit of Walk with a Doc.
*We fully anticipate that certain groups (e.g. Walk with a Doc - Central Park) may argue these amendments do not apply to them. I would argue in return that our family in Tanzania certainly did not anticipate this attack.
These changes are global and sweeping in nature in order to protect our Walk with a Doc participants around the world.
Rest assured, our attorneys are working very closely with the IRF (International Rhino Foundation) as we make these difficult decisions. Thank you for your understanding.
*Level Orange indicates there is a High Risk of Rhino Attack
You know the drill...
