Gorilla killed

[Thumpalumpacus]

I think both sides of this discussion have good points.

The enclosure was clearly insufficient. Cynical though it might sound, relying on visitors to be intelligent and responsible -- yes, even with their own children -- strikes me as a bit naive.

At the same time, being a distracted parent does indeed come with the territory at times. It shouldn't have happened in a place like this, where the dangers of inattention ought to have prompted heightened alertness.

I'm glad the child is okay, and sad the gorilla is dead.
