I'm glad they made the right choice.They made the wrong choice. The gorilla wasn't harming the kid and there wouldn't have been a problem but the lunatics started yelling and excited the gorilla, who quickly pulled the kid out of potential danger. The kid is a goner. Some thug cop will blow him away in a few years because the cop "feared for his life". He was safer with the gorillas than he is with the humans.
If the gorilla killed the kid people would be saying the zoo doesn't care about black people, gorilla lives matter more than black lives, so on and so forth.
The mother of the kid may or may not have been negligent, who knows? I personally can't imagine my parents not noticing that I'm climbing into a gorilla pit but accidents happen and sometimes kids take stupid risks.
It's tempting to blame the zoo because this little kid managed to get in a pit of gorillas and he only had to crawl through some bushes to get there. On the other hand I think zoos give some responsibility to families to take care of their kids and to not try to get in gorilla pits while at the zoo. And I also imagine it's good to see animals without bars and fences in the way just through open air so I'm guessing that's a reason to not have proper barricades around the enclosure, that's the only reason I can think of.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
