Love how when these things happen the first thing bystanders do is get their phones out to video it.

Didnt this happen before and the child was comforted by the gorilla?

yeah. That time it was a female gorilla though.

 

[GwladysBlue]

really? zoos are there for humans to make money. Nothing else.
In this case a animal who should have been living free got shot because someone fell down his cell. Pretty sick world.

I was being sarcastic, mate.

The parents should be punished

I thought they could have tranquilized the gorilla. I zoo keeper said it would take too long for the drug to work. If they had a marksman there with a real gun and to kill the gorilla if it hurt the child then they could have waited a few minutes.
Parents should be prosecuted for not looking after their child.

My thoughts exactly. I doubt a trainquilizer would have worked fast enough and the gorilla may have become enraged after being shot with one. Those parents need to be punished, but someone needs to make sure the zoo had properly secured the fences around the exhibit. How did the child get in?

 

[Blue Cheese]

Really made me angry this, damn shame. parents should be prosecuted.

There is no way on earth anyone, child or adult, should be able to accidentally end up an animal enclosure at a zoo.

Any parent will know that keeping a child under close supervision 100% of the time is impossible. They dash off, they get swept along a little in crowds, they clamber for vantage points. As long as you can still see them, they should be safe. Quite shocking to think that in an environment designed to make money out of kids (no self respecting adult should enjoy going to see wild animals in captivity) that kids doing what kids do aren't safe.

No blame on the parents from me. The zoo owner is entirely responsible.
