Zoo’s Killing of Gorilla Holding a Boy Prompts Outrage

Not at all.

I find the importance you place on race to be hilarious.

 

reasonable people would not pass through a fence and down more than a story into a moat full of water. Businesses are required to have safety precautions regardless of industry, but at some point there needs to be some personal responsibility from the patrons.

Nothing is 100% human proof and still enjoyable. If this kid had fallen on a subway track would we be talking about what the transit company needs to do to make the track 100% inaccessible to four year olds? Heck no! Personal responsibility matters! I'm tired of people blaming businesses for every injury. The zoo does have safety precautions in place. A fence and a story-high wall with a moat full of water. That's a heck of a lot more than a subway system has. This was patron negligence. The zoo shot their animal and took care of the situation. What did the mom do?

It was totally the parent's that were responsible for this. As I posted on another forum, If a kid runs into traffic because the parent is not keeping them safe and in check, the situation could potentially risk the lives of innocent bystanders and cause a major traffic accident. This zoo tragedy is no different. The parents were not diligent, and have further added to the endangerment of a species. I'd love to know exactly what either of the parents were doing when the kid wandered off.

 

^The left will "LMAO" infinity if they read this post.

 

Many years ago some Darwin Award aspirant in Tokyo was walking through the Ueno Zoo (drunk of course) and thought the panda looked so cute he wanted to snuggle, cuddle and pet it. Climbed over and into the pit and ended up with hundreds of stitches and months in hospital.

 

I heard the mom runs a daycare. I also heard that it was a fence and around 9' of vegetation before the 15' drop.

I'm sure before the end of this discussion people will want higher regulations on animal fences since so many schools and day cares visit. And the anti-taxers will hate it because it will cost the Corporation more. The bigot already showed up announcing "the kid was black!", So that's out of the way.

If I owned a zoo, I would want parents to be able to let their toddlers go and feel no life threat from the animals.

 

Obviously it sucks that the gorilla had to die amd the parents are idiots and all but the Zoos made the right choice. I feel that the parents should at least pay some kind of find for negligence as the child is their responsibility.

As for all these morons saying they should have just let the kid die, by all means I encourage you to go drop your kid in a gorilla pen and then tell the zoo people not to help him. Prove to us that you care about the gorilla then human life. Different tone you whistle when it's your own flesh and blood on the line.

Also think it's hilarious how the black community jumped the gun AGAIN with thier racism.

 

If the number of kids present was too much for this mother to handle, she had no business on any outing without more adults to accompany them. The point is... as a responsible parent and adult you never take for granted that any outside place is completely safe. We hear about zoo and amusement park accidents all the time.

 

Why didn't they have tranquilizer guns? I'm sorry the gorilla was killed, it's a shame. Would it had to have been if they traqed it?

We can't let gorillas injure children.

 

Did you not bother to read the previous posts? You are so into color. Blacks were tweeting that the gorilla was killed because of WHITE privilege, so it was the Blacks who were racists. The poster was merely pointing that out. Capische?

 

They did, but they felt the boy was in imminent danger and it would take several minutes for the tranquilizer to take effect. They were also concerned that the gorilla would become more agitated. Jack Hanna said the zoo made the right decision. He also said that there was not a choice between human life and animal life. I want to know what sickos preferred the boy to die. If it were their kid, would they feel the same?

 

I understand that gorillas are good-natured creatures, and after it pulled the boy through the water it then looked as if wondering what to do next, in the sense of wondering how to protect the lad? What a pity if that was the case, but of course the deed simply had to be done.

 

Might I point out the poor line of protection between the beasties and the public we need to look at the zoo also being at fault here for not having more fencing, more break resistant clear barricades and the like to protect both sides.

 

That and parents that actually pay attention.

 

The poster mentioned racist tweets by other people... The kid being black is ironic only in the fact that the twitter idiots assumed he was white.

 

This same thing happened to my uncle when he was a kid.... He fell into the Gorilla pit.. He said the zookeepers were like "whatever you do don't look at them in the eyes"...

Of course my uncle lived through it.

If they shot that animal it was for a perfectly good reason.

I remember about 10 years ago they had to put down a mountain lion that was loose near a school here in Chicago (of all places) and people got all bent about that..... C'mon we can't have a flipping mountain lion roaming the streets of Chicago - especially near a school.

 

WTF?? This has to be the dumbest post I've seen on this forum in a long time.
Are you serious? The kid is four years old. Kids do dumb (*)(*)(*)(*) because they don't know any better. So, what's your excuse?

 

Believe it or not kids actually fall into these Gorilla pits all the time....

The trainers know these animals and this is the first time I ever heard of a Gorilla being shot so I'm certain it was because the animal was dangerous...

Like I said in a previous post - my uncle fell into a Gorilla pit..

Gorillas can get extremely aggressive and they're no match for a human.....

 

Ya, it's silly.....like when idiots protest putting down a measly dog because it ripped a kid apart....all nuts!

 

Check out the 2nd incident at the SF Zoo in 2007. If these boneheads did taunt the tiger..........................................................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Zoo_tiger_attacks

 

I don't really get all the "Justice for Harambe" protests, but then I fault the parents for not watching their kid.

 

Give me a break and save your pretentious bs for someone dumb enough to fall for it.
Did you see post 26 ? Sundance was good enough to provide the link for you.

Thanks Sundance!

 

How many of the moonbats ya think are conservative?

 

#1. I didn't raise or mention anything about "race" as regards the incident. Someone else did and I responded as to why it was in any way germane. #2. A few idiots teeeting blather means.....well, what exactly? That 40 million black folks are bad? Or the handfull of morons who tweeted? But again, what does race have to do with it except that there are apparently a few black tweeting boobs? #3. Should we judge you based on some of the teeets sent after the Charleston massacre because the tweeters were white? Didn't think so.

As I said, I didn't raise the race thing. I responded to it. Sorry if that offends you. I think the question you should be asking is why, in an OP about a zoo animal endangering a child incident, somebody would go to all the trouble to search for something , anything , to link it to race. You might ask your stormfront buddy.
