I have to admit I was pretty pissed off at the fact a Gorilla was killed and wasn't thinking straight when I made a few of my comments. I don't blame the mother even if she did lose sight of her kid for a few seconds and even if she is a bad mother, she has suffered enough and definitely doesn't deserve to be shot. The zoo takes most of the blame here.
I was at the Calgary zoo this past weekend and there were some enclosures that I felt weren't properly guarded against children doing dumb things. If a kid really wanted to go swimming with the Hippos all they had to do was climb a 3 foot wall and they were in the same area as them.
