(1,245 posts)I also want to add that PETA & the people putting up 'Justice for (the gorilla)' websites and the like aren't doing this wonderful CAUSE ... any friggin' favors.
There was one option, and one option only ... once the child fell into the enclosure. I am utterly heartbroken and crest-fallen this magnificent animal had to be put down like this ... it's HORRIBLE. But the only thing that would've been worse is if the animal had torn the child to shreds in front of the horrified crowd that included his mother.
And it's not unreasonable for parents to expect that ZOO ENCLOSURES would be 4yo 'proof', my Dog, there's millions of tiny children visiting zoo's at any given moment in the world ... they HAVE to take responsibility for protecting children better than they apparently did in this case.
Obviously parents need to 'watch their children at all times' and everything but you'd have no reason as a parent bringing your kid to the zoo to think that a damn GORILLA enclosure is not properly secured to the point where little kids can't inadvertently just ... fall into them.
That said to me it's just really ridiculous to praise your 'awsome God' as if He ... was responsible for saving your child. That's just babbling insanity to me. If He was 'watching out for your child', why the hell didn't He stop the child from ... ending up in the damn enclosure in the first damn place, HRRMMMMMM? Why didn't He just make the Gorilla run all the way to other end of the enclosure and leave the baby alone until he could be extricated safely without the loss of it's life? Hmmmm?
Derp ...
