http://abcnews.go.com/US/year-picked-gorilla-cincinnati-zoo-escapes-injury/story?id=39454916 A 3-year-old boy escaped without serious injury after he crawled through a barrier at the Cincinnati Zoo and into a gorilla enclosure, where he was picked up by a 400-pound gorilla, the zoo director said. After the boy crawled through the barrier Saturday, he fell into a moat, where he was picked up and carried around by the gorilla for about 10 minutes, Zoo Director Thane Maynard said. There were already fire department personnel at the zoo because of a sick person, and they responded immediately to the pen, District Fire Chief Marc Monahan said. When they got to the gorilla pen they saw the gorilla who violently dragging and throwing the child, he said. A Cincinnati Zoo employee shot the gorilla when the child was in between its legs, and zoo employees then unlocked the gate and two fire fighters quickly retrieved the child. read more... would you feel more sorry for the gorilla or the kid? Even though it was the kid's fault and partly the parent's fault for not supervising. I say close all zoo and let the animals free into the wild. |
| Come on a 3 year old doesn't know any better. It was the kid's parents fault period. It had to be done. His life was in danger. |
| and those people at that particularly zoo are so dedicated to the well being of the animals, they have a youtube channel and i watched several videos of them, i hope they sue the parents. |
| I cant blame the kid since he is 3. His parents should have paid close attention. Entirely their fault. |

| Poor Parenting, an endangered gorilla died because of their negligence. |
 |
| Sue the parents, a gorilla died because of their failure. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Pretty sure the parents are able to be charged with neglect. |
| Pretty much what Sakuraoka said. The only ones who could prevent it were the parents. |
 |
| Why not just tranquilize them? Gorillas are an expensive commodity. |

tranqus would have taken too long to take effect according to the article entirly the parents fault. tho i would note that the gorrilla "was not attacking", it was shot preemptively. i would have held off on killing it until there were signs the gorrila was aggressve, as there are cases of gorrilas being friendly to and even protecting children that fall into their pen. |
| Poor gorilla, shot to death. Poor kid, for having stupid parents. |

| It's partially the parents fault, and partially the Zoo's fault. Typically such exhibits should be "child proof". A kid falling into "x" exhibit is borderline cliche at this point, you would think that a place like a Zoo, which is extremely susceptible to law suits, would cover its bases. |
 |
| Couldn't they have just shot it with a tranquilizer dart? Was killing it really necessary? :/ |

| Wouldn't it be really fucked up if the gorilla was actually trying to save the child...and instead they fucking kill him... |
| A gorilla can tear a part a fully grown man with its strength and turn into a violent rampage in an instant. They had no choice just dragging the child around could have torn its arm off. Parents are at fault for not watching the kid and the zoos at fault for even having an enclosure a child could get into. |

| That poor gorilla. |

RyanEsau said: Couldn't they have just shot it with a tranquilizer dart? Was killing it really necessary? :/ Tranquilizer darts don't work instantly; it could take several minutes for the effects to kick in, especially in a creature as large as a gorilla. Plus, animals are unpredictable. Who knows what the gorilla would have done if it had felt the pain of the dart? The situation could have turned around in an instant. JustALEX said: Wouldn't it be really fucked up if the gorilla was actually trying to save the child...and instead they fucking kill him... A lot of people are suggesting this but the child did end up going to the hospital, so the gorilla wasn't exactly being gentle. Sure, it may have been trying to protect the child, but because of its sheer strength, it could have fatally injured the child while doing so. Just a sad situation all around. Reminds me of the guy who fell in a tiger enclosure and died because the tiger picked him up by the neck in its jaws and carried him further into the enclosure, possibly to protect him from the people who were shouting and throwing rocks at it from above. |

| @Dante04 The zoo can only do so much. They out up the fence and don't climb on fence sign, but they can't do much if a kid is going to climb on it anyway. @ThRippJck Eh your probably right @Tien I agree with you about the tranquilizer darts but from what I've seen, the child was taken to the hospital because of the fall, not because of any wounds inflicted by the gorrila |
| It's the zoo's fault primarily. This shouldn't even be possible. |
| After watching the video, I still can't understand how that kid fell in there. What type of parents are these? How the fuck do you lose track of a child long enough so he falls into an animal exhibit? Fuck those parents! |
| They should've just traded the kid for some bananas. |
 |
| fucking hell i want to see the gorilla throwing baby around like ragdoll lol or when it gets shot dammit |
| wooow I blame the society for this... Why are you capturing animals... there should be more safari parks.... but wait .... that may increase such accidents even more..... Ahhh It was an unfortunate accident I guess |
 |
| Lol the Gorilla was probably more scared of the screaming from the parents. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Fuckkkkkkkk. I am tired of seeing this shit. I've unfollowed anyone on Facebook sharing the damn memes. I don't care what kind of flack I get. This is insane. A human kid versus an animal? Really people feel more compassion towards an animal than a human child? |
| Kids are stupid. It's the parents' responsibility to make sure that they don't do something retarded like climbing down into random gorilla enclosures and getting themselves in serious trouble; the gorilla was obviously stressed and frightened by the contant screaming and shouting around it, so I don't think that it was malicious and deserved to get killed, but at the end of the day what matters the most is geting the child back to safety. |
Moog said: Kids are stupid. It's the parents' responsibility to make sure that they don't do something retarded like climbing down into random gorilla enclosure The zoo should have it so kids CAN'T climb into the enclosure in the first place. kids wander off in a split second or do stupid things. If the zoo can't make a dangerous gorillas exhibit 4 year old proof then they should get a serious investigation into their security measures of the park. |
|
| Really unsure what to make of this, on one hand shitty parenting for allowing a child of such a young age (if he was like 12+ then really its the kids fault, but at the age of 3 you really can't blame the kid) to get into this situation. On the other hand the zoo really fucked up with its security, there should be no way for a kid to be able to crawl into a pen of any wild animal especially an animal as powerful as a gorilla. |
| Those parents needed to watch over that kid so that crap wouldn't have happened in the first place. And who the heck is filming the video? Aren't zoos supposed to have tranquilizer darts? |

| it was the parents fault, there is no way a child could wander in there by itself. some cute videos about that zoo, i love cheetahs! ^^ |
JustALEX said: If only animals could speak...Wouldn't it be really fucked up if the gorilla was actually trying to save the child...and instead they fucking kill him... @ Topic - I saw a picture of the parents. I'm willing to bet they were absorbed in their egotistic selfie tirade. This is the selfie culture - one of negligence and lunacy of the highest order. |

Ratohnhaketon said: @ Topic - I saw a picture of the parents. I'm willing to bet they were absorbed in their egotistic selfie tirade. This is the selfie culture - one of negligence and lunacy of the highest order. Yeah, that's completely possible. I was recently at a baseball game where people were too busy taking 300 pictures of themselves than watch the fucking game. Thing is...the section I was sitting in is the section where foul balls can come in. And if you're too fucking retarded to pay attention to the goddamn game that you came for because you're a narcissist that can't go more than 5 minutes without taking a picture of yourself....then I'm not gonna feel sorry for you when a ball hit you in your dense head. |
| His parents should have been watching him better, though he shouldn't have been able to slip into the enclosure either so I partially blame the zoo but mostly the parents. |
| I mean, how fuckn stupid is the Zoo to make bars so wide that kids can climb through. Also how did the parents not notice that they were small enough to be climbed through and even if they did why did they not keep the child from doing so? Rip gorilla-kun you died because humans were stupid no matter how you look at it, if this were my world then these idiots would be jailed or worse. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| there was some sort of petition for the CPS to take the kid away from the parents I saw online. |
|
| honestly, I blame the zoo. If a three year old kid can climb into the enclosure, that's not safe AT ALL. Zoos are for kids, and if kids can get into the exhibit, it's only a matter of time until one does. I don't blame the parents, because I've had four young siblings and so I emphasize with her. It's very likely the child had ADHD and just shot off without warning (of course I don't know for sure, just speculation based off of experience with my severly ADHD five year old cousin who is amazing and I love him). Either way, it's a crappy situation. |
| The gorilla actually wasn't hurting the child, or meaning to. It only started dragging him around because the people wouldn't stop screaming their heads off. That's just how gorillas treat their young. If you watch the video, he tries to keep the boy out of the water by holding him by his shorts and protectively hovers over him. I gotta say the parents who took their eyes off their kid needs to feel massive amounts of shame. A gorilla had to die because of they couldn't be arsed to pay attention to their kid in a zoo, but then again the zoo made it easy for a three year old to climb in so... |

| The blame game is too strong here. |
| it did nothing wrong. i mean they even called the video "terrifying" and he literally did nothing to the child. just in spite of the terrible mother, i'd tranquilize the gorilla and wait. |
 |
| gorilla was just curious about the kid. if the ignorant, uneducated, useless crowd of people didn't scream towards the gorilla, it might had been possible to distract him long enough to take the kid to safety. the crowd agitated the gorilla, and one could argue that the gorilla standing tall and strong next to the kid was his natural instinct in protecting his new find against what he perceived as a threat. one thing that's for certain is that the crowd made the situation worse than it could have been. edit: trying to tranquilize him would cause the gorilla to become furious and the kid would have been in a greater danger. |
