Most ppl are blaming the mom. I blame the zoo. You have one job only. To child-proof, drunk-proof and teenage-dare proof the area and you have all the time in the world to do it. But alas, there is a "hole" three foot by two foot for kids, dogs, cats and whatever to get in there. How?

I agree the safe play was to kill the gorilla, so they popped him. But I don't think he would have killed the kid. Yes, he dragged the kid, slapped him and roughed the kid up pretty good (btw the kid kinda looked like Jimbo from a certain angle). But I don't think it was a "death-rage" type of deal. It was more like the chimp was saying, "Look fuhktard, what the hell is your major malfunction coming in here? I'll bet you never do this shyt again!"

Like Lamar Thomas said vs FIU. "You bring this shyt over to this part of town and you get whupped!" But I don't think the gorilla would ever kill that kid. But you can't chance it.

The zoo or gorilla at fault? Who let's their 4 year old out of their sight at a zoo? The mom should be shot.

Why not tranquilize the thing?

A gorilla expert? Do they even exist? Siegfried and roy thought they were tiger experts.

They should have thrown the mother in to beat her chest and get her kid back after paying tribute to the Gorrilla.

They were tiger experts. The man was suffering from an embolism and the cat applied pressure to keep him from dying.

They said it would take between 5-10 minutes for a tranquilizer dart to take effect. That's way too long. Got to nuke the animal. Next step, CPS gets the kid away from that mom.

Look, they don't even have to focus on the areas of deer, giraffes, sheep, zebras, goats, elephants, horses. You have 7 cages to focus on and all the time in the world. Tigers, lions, chimps of all kinds, bears, gators, Shodell and venemous snakes. There is no excuse for having a hole that big. Think about it. Only D'Onofrio understands holes that big.
 
D'Onofrio was the architect and designer of the fence.
He is very well versed in holes , as you know Honey....:p:rolleyes:

Hey that chimp could crush a coconut in one hand Honey...that is impressive....no ?...
 
The experts say the tranquilizer darts might have infuriated the ape and really put the child at risk. I'm animal lover but they did what really had to be done. Hate it but it was the only thing to do.

As for the mother she was negligent. Blame has to be assigned. And I think the lady should have to pay to replace the ape-----and that's a very pricey proposition.

Sick about the outcome here...

Very sad for all.............but if Honey fell in would you fish him out?...
We need him here on CaneSport for his witticisms........save Honey............shoot the gorilla............there is only one Honey......
 
Go to line is to blame it on the Mom. Yes, it's her responsibility...but I just think it was a human error. Humans make mistakes all the time...like legalizing things that is responsible for human death or allowing hunting for animals as a sport. Taking thier heads and mounting them walls as trophies. This accident was a sad and tragic event. We all make mistakes.
