Ha ha ha VERY FUNNY.. If you read the story you will note that the Gorilla has a history of bad temper compare to the other Gorillas.
He was shot because tranquilizing him would make him more dangerous to the little boy.
But I agreed that they should of use other tactics to remove the Gorilla such as the most powerful fire water hose to get him to move away so a employee can rush in and grab the boy, but since we do not know anything about the Gorilla we have no rights to a blame game here, I do hope a social worker will interfere in the family lives and find out what was the REAL reason they weren't watching him.
So what was done is done..
Now speaking about the Lion that was shot and killed last year is a difference story.
It's people like you who like to stir things up that is a problem.
And it has nothing to do with the color of the fur or the age of the Gorilla
The amazing, beautiful being was killed because an incompetent, negligent parent allowed her four year old child to roam around unattended. This parent's action directly placed her child in grave danger and caused the death of this magnificent animal. I think she should be charged with everything possible, fined, and jailed. The gorilla did nothing wrong, the zoo did nothing wrong, as they took every reasonable precaution to keep people safe. The only one in the wrong was the parent.
I read what she said. She showed no remorse and took no responsibility for this horrible incident.
The gorilla was shot out of Political Correctness. I do hope that the incredibly subnormal black parents who let their hoodlum four-year-old boy climb into the gorilla enclosure--the Mama typically a grinning, empty-headed, Jesus-loving, lard-azzed over-spawner, and the Papa typically a violent felon with an extensive criminal history including BURGLARIES and KIDNAPPING--will be charged with child endangerment AND be forced to pay for replacing the extremely rare and valuable Silverback Gorilla. But I'm not betting on it.
Just wondering how out of control a 4 yr old can be to disobey a parent, climb over a large fence and jump into a deep enclosure at the zoo.
I wonder about the type of behavior this kid will continue to exhibit over the next 10 yrs.
I wonder if this is rather ordinary behavior with kids now - meaning to refuse to listen to their mothers or other authorities, have disregard for boundaries.
I wonder if this kid who appears to be white in the vid is another example of entitlement. They immediately decided to kill the wild dangerous unpredictable gorilla.
I wonder if the kid were black. Would they have waited a bit longer with this "valuable" exotic animal. And then kill it.
I wonder why that out of control kid did not have a harness on him. I have seen other hard to manage kids on harnesses. If my kid had behavior issues, I would not take him to the zoo or other places until his behavior improved.
I wonder why zoo enclosures do not have better protect for the animals from annoying children and their annoying parents. Too many of these animals are out of control in public and I do not mean the beasts.
I wonder why people disregard the signs that might say "Do not disturb the animals" "Do not feed the animals" "Do not climb" "Danger - stay behind fence". And then they will either sue the zoo or do some think stupid after reading the sign & laughing. .
I have no idea what the reasons were.
Personally I think that the whole concept of a Zoo in the 21st century is an anachronism.
In these days when we can watch scores of wildlife shows, or visit a country such as Africa
where these beautiful creatures come from, I feel it is cruel to incarcerate wild creatures in a Zoo.
I appreciate that Zoologists excuse themselves by claiming that they are conserving various
animals by creating breeding projects, but the final result is often unhappy animals pacing to
and fro in a cage or enclosure, simply for a few humans to gape at, whilst the Zoologists pat
themselves on the back, look for kudos and tell the world how brilliant they have been when
in reality they are simply wardens of animal prisons.
Yes it is sad for the traumatised child and his parents, but the whole thing could have been avoided
by common sense and the closing down of these animal prisons.
No. It was shot because the parents didn't have control over their 4 yr old child and it is ALWAYS the animal that has to die because of human stupidity I hope the mother is arrested and tried for her lack of ability to control her son's behaviour. It is a disgrace. It is a lesson that has to be learned for younger parents. Older people have brought up their kids to respect animals and drummed into them that they are wild animals, not cuddly pets! It makes my blood boil that a poor animal has had to be killed because they couldn't control their offspring.
