mat Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 If you hesitate one second about putting the gorilla a down there is something wrong with you. The outrage over the decision to kill the gorilla outrages me. If it would have happened in a Texas zoo there's a good chance he would have been gunned down by visitors.

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 The parents need to pay better attention to their child. The zoo could have had a better barrier, not their fault IMO, I blame that kid's parents for that whole situation happening. Englebert, Hagar and baddog 3

Englebert Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 I'm fairly certain that everyone complaining about the gorilla being shot would have begged someone to shoot the gorilla if he'd been the one in the gorilla cage. BS Wildcats, Mr. Buddy Garrity, LumRaiderFan and 1 other 4
PAMFAM10 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 It's a gorilla. With that being said it sure sucks to have to kill your gorilla because some parent decided to neglect their child. tvc184, bullets13, baddog and 1 other 4
LumRaiderFan Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 It's a shame that this happened, but there should be no way a 4 year old could ever manage to get in an enclosure like that. Should the parents have been watching their kid better...yes. But you show me any parent that says they haven't lost track of their child for just a short while...there aren't any. BS Wildcats and NDNation 2
tvc184 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Posted May 31, 2016 It is terrible...... That the whiners that are up in arms about this dead gorilla, can't trade places with that child and explain to all of us the correct course of action while being slung around by an animal that can rip your head off the moment he gets a notion. Tragic? Absolutely. The correc response? Same answer. mat 1

My sympathy goes to the gorilla and the guy who Had to shoot him.

thetragichippy Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 Well, it appears nothing has changed in this forum.......lol So, my take...... If I personally were building a gorilla habitat at a zoo, there would be some minimum standards. 1. Large enough and the environment is as close to their natural habitat as possible. 2. Secure enough to keep the Gorillas contained. 3. Secure enough to keep adults out, let alone a hyper 4 year old child. Those of us that have raised kids know they sometimes dart off and you loose sight of them. I consider myself an excellent parent(pride myself on it) and when Trent was young he got away from me at Wal-Mart. It happens and that is exactly why there were no charges against the Mother. I work at a Bank and I promise you a 4 year old could not walk in the safe. BlackShirts5 1
BlackShirts5 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 There should be a sign up on every establishment when entering. We are not your baby sitters. If you cannot control your children you will be removed. To many parents today just let their kids run about with no concerns. Silsbee92 1

But, 6 months ago if I bet you $500.00 my 4 year old could breach the security of a gorilla habitat at the Zoo, would you of took that bet?

Some parents always have and always will not be bad parents. The problem is that even the best parent is not watching a child every single moment. It is like texting when people look at "just for a few seconds" and someone gets killed. Anyone that tells me that they have never taken their eyes off of their child for a few seconds while in the public is either a liar or delusional. With all that, I cannot imagine a zoo with a gorilla enclosure/cage where a child can get into it and apparently fairly easily and quickly. That has nothing to do with bad parenting.
