Gorilla killed

[Catholic_Lady]

She most certainly did, both times.

“We are so thankful to the Lord that our child is safe. He is home and doing just fine. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the quick action by the Cincinnati Zoo staff. We know that this was a very difficult decision for them, and that they are grieving the loss of their gorilla.”

"We continue to praise God for His grace and mercy, and to be thankful to the Cincinnati Zoo for their actions taken to protect our child. Some have offered money to the family, which we do not want and will not accept," the family said. "If anyone wishes to make a gift, we recommend a donation to the Cincinnati Zoo in Harambe's name."

That was the second version, she deleted the first version (below) after she caught a bunch of shit for not mentioning the zoo or the poor animal.

And yes, C_L, giving praise to a deity which could have prevented the whole situation with no effort if it existed makes one a douche in my eyes. It doesn't make a person evil or an idiot, but if people did all the things that rectified your situation, and you can only bring yourself to mention those people or the animal that lost its life to rectify your situation after you catch shit for not doing so, I think you're douchy.



To me, it's no difference to praising Jesus for allowing you to get through the heart defect he gave you and forgetting to mention the cardiac surgeon who spent 10 years studying and practicing to be the best, the team of professionals that cared for you in the hospital, or the paramedics who pulled you out of a car wreck that was caused by you passing out in traffic. All of these people did the things and had the expertise that kept you alive, buy you praised the thing you believe gave you the defect in the first place.

"And yes, C_L, giving praise to a deity which could have prevented the whole situation with no effort if it existed makes one a douche in my eyes."


In all 3 statements, deleted or not, she thanks God AND the people. Including the one you showed me above. I guess you consider me a douche then, because I would have said said something very similar. Praised God that my kid didn't die before the people got there, and then thanked the people for what they did.
