To be clear, I agree that shooting the gorilla was something the zoo keepers needed to do, given the situation. I just find it alarming the number of people defending how that situation happened in the first place.
So apparently, that enclosure has existed as it is for almost 40 years without a single incident. No one else has fallen or even almost fallen in. The enclosure is not the problem. Other eyewitnesses say the kid was hollering that he wanted to go in with the gorillas, and mom was yelling at him, but turned her back on him to strap her other baby into a stroller. 2 older kids were there as well.
So apparently police are still looking into charging the mom. This is a fact, not a rumor. They may decide not to, but I will be interested to see their findings and their decision.
