Sadly, you are correct about the zoo being sued by the less intelligent than that gorilla parents of that child.
God created all children in his image.
They did the right thing in saving his life.
Just reporting the facts. ;^)
I agree.
The gorillas in that enclosure are better parents than the human ones!
It appeared the ape was not trying to harm the child.
HOWEVER, the ape was dragging the child through the water, over the rocks, at a speed that was very dangerous. He could easily have pulled the child's arm completely off.
We can point blame for 'how' the child got in and 'who' is responsible all we want, but the bottom line was that a child was in danger from an unpredictable animal and the zoo staff made the right choice.
Not really. Doesn’t a parent have some responsibility for their child?
apparently, a 5 foot high fence. Maybe the mother put him up there then was distracted by her obamaphone.
Two times, (in the videos I’ve seen), the ape dragged the little boy by one arm, at a speed faster than a human can run. I’m surprised the child’s arm is still attached.
I have taken my kiddo and Grand to zoos countless times and there is NO BLEEDING WAY, that either would be out of my sight, nor away from me! And yes, the primates were my kiddo's favorite, which how the double degree came about; I suspect.
Thanks for the info. As I said to another poster here I did a bit of research on gorillas and found that overall, even in the wild they are not an outwardly violent or aggressive animal and often they takes pains to avoid contact even with others of their kind. The males do that by elaborate threat displays, false charging attacks and vocalizations and will use violence only as a last resort. In the case of humans they much prefer flight to fight.
You let an ape drag you by one arm, through the water, over the rocks, at the fastest speed most humans can run, and then you can tell me the ape isn't 'harming' you. (If your arm is still attached and you are alive).
Having seen tons of white and Hispanic misbehaving kids I don’t agree. If anything black children are better behaved at that age when their mamas can still exert control over them ... IME.
If we are going to generalize, in my experience the spectrum goes Asian, Black, White, Hispanic with Hispanic kids being the worst behaved overall .... at this young age.
So we should stoop to the level of that scum? .....Absolutely not. We should stand up to the scum, mock them, point out that they are lying Marxists and prosecute them at any chance we get. Does that upset you?
Figured that FOX news is in the same MSM liberal camp.
She was a female that was raised with people and was used to humans.This one was no raised this way.
Were the zoo keepers who shot the Gorilla white or brown or red or green or environmentalists or vegans or???
They are the ones who shot the Gorilla. They are the ones with the privilege.
Bigger surprise, the mom runs a daycare.
