It is all so tragic.
Parents not watching their small toddler, Zoo's not providing a safe environment, Animals in zoos !!!! TRAGIC
Does anyone know why the gorilla was not shot with a tranquilizer.
Will the parents be charged with child endangerment ? Don't people hold their children's hands anymore ?
Maybe the little ones should be required to wear those toddler leashes if allowed to explore in a zoo unattended.
So sad.
