After seeing the barrier the kid got through at the zoo, I change my mind. The barrier is inadequate

at a facility that offers wildlife rehab, the lead rehabber for the day and group of us volunteers were talking about this. This particular rehabber had worked with the gorilla (at the Chicago Zoo?) who had saved a little boy that fell into the enclosure. She said that the female gorilla was aggressive but she had was good mother and it was not unusual that she protected the little boy from the silverbacks in the enclosure.

Another volunteer asked her about what she thought about the killing of the gorilla rather than tranquilizing it and she said it was the best thing to do in the circumstance. The child could have been killed in an instant it and every second counted.
