So in the span of a week, two lions and a gorilla have been put to death because of the actions of stupid humans.

I know that zoo fairly well. That’s hard to do if someone is even barely watching the child.

Always good advice...the parents of 3 year olds would normally be paying attention to it.

But it was the right decision in every case...

I know fur would make it more difficult but why can’t they taze the animals in these circumstances?

They ought to be sent a bill for the replacement gorilla.
To: HiTech RedNeck
They said the gorilla had hold of the boy and their thought was that there’s almost always a violent reaction with tranquilizing. I don’t know about tazing, but maybe it would be the same, and maybe they didn’t have that capability and time was important.

Since someone was not looking at their child, a young Gorilla is dead, for acting as Gorillas will do. That family should be forbidden from returning to that Zoo. They may already be too traumatized.
If I was a really cynical person, I would say maybe the absentminded parent allowed the child to enter, accidentally-on-purpose, in hopes of suing the Zoo, and pocketing a few hundred thousand. Sort of ‘Crying all the way to the Bank”. But I’m sure they would’nt do something that wicked!

I'm sick of animals being euthanized because people do stupid things, including not protecting their children.
Can I say that?

Pat the little 400 lb. monkey?
Or the 400 lb. kitty (lion)?
Cuh-razy.
