They don't bat an eye when soldiers or cops or unborn babies are killed, yet cry over a dangerous gorilla who could have easily killed that child.

To be fair, I didn't bat an eye for the gorilla or that stupid lion either. I'm consistently apathetic. Can't wait till the next mass extinction woo. ~ I do not have a signature.

Yes, we can all agree that the parents were extremely irresponsible and stupid, but we're talking about a child here. I'm sad that they had to shoot that gorilla over this, but that child could've been seriously injured or killed. I mean, it's not like that kid threw himself into the cage willingly like that other suicidal guy and the lions.

I've seen people be like "they should've let that kid die, poor gorilla" and I can't believe my eyes to be honest. The gorilla "could've" seriously injured or killed the kid? So naturally they kill the one thing actually protecting the kid? The gorilla was doing a better job than the fuckin parents. Do you seriously think if that gorilla was trying to hurt the kid it would've taken more than one yank on the kid or to slam his arm on him. He dragged the kid across the water just like it would have a baby gorilla to get him to safety quickly because of all the people screaming n shit. If that gorilla was being aggressive it would've ripped the kids leg off without even trying, yet the kid didn't so much as sniffle or have a bruise.

It's not about killing a gorilla to save a kid, because there was absolutely no hostility going on with the gorilla. Sure they needed to act fast to be on the safe side, but the trainer could have easily gone in with a bucket of food shaking it to get him away from the kid. Killing the gorilla was bullshit and poor judgement.

If you want to talk about something being capable of seriously injuring a child, maybe you should put every child into a bubble that's made of material invulnerable to everything known to man. Because that's the only way for anything to not be capable of hurting anything. I mean hell with ignorant ass parents like that, the kid could've been killed on the way to the zoo in a car.

@Git Sum

if thats your arguement then why did it take them approximately 10 minutes to sort out? if hte kid was as in danger as you make it out to be it would of been done sooner.....? unless you know the kid wasnt in danger

You saw the gorilla dragging the kid carelessly. Yes, we can all agree that the gorilla was trying to protect him, but you can't take ANY chances when it comes to an actual human child inside a cage with a huge gorilla.

Who knows, maybe the gorilla would've kept dragging the kid and the kid would've hit his head with something, or maybe the tranquillisers wouldn't have worked as quickly and the gorilla would've snapped and hurt the child in the process. They went for the safe option because there were a lot of variables to consider and I don't blame them.

You know the worst part is had something happened to that child because they tried to go with the tranquillisers route, public opinion would've bashed those zookeepers as well.
"Omg I can't believe you let that kid die".
"Wow, zoo owners are so greedy. I bet they didn't want to lose money by killing that gorilla so they tranq'd it instead and now the kid is dead".

I stand strong by this: if you prioritise a gorilla's life over an innocent kid's, you need to reevaluate your life.

It's sad, yes, but no matter how protective gorilla was being, that protection could've proven fatal.
