Hombre The Gorilla Killed AT Cincy Zoo.
Reply to Topic
That's the barrier.
If thats the fence then the Zoo is responsible, thats ridiculous!
According to several articles I read, the child climbed over a 3-foot high fence, through some thick shrubbery, and fell down a 15-foot embankment.
Several witnesses have come forward to say that the child told his mother "several times" that he wanted to go "play with the animal", but she just kept telling him "No".

My question still stands, as I didn't see anyone address it, what were the other onlookers doing as the kid was climbing towards the gorilla pit? Surely some people seen the kid and knew it was a dangerous thing for him to do. Has anybody heard any reports about that?
Also, look at the height in the video between the level where the guy is filming and where the gorilla is. In addition to how did the kid get IN there, how did he get DOWN there?
Are there different levels that the kid could access? Did he climb down? Did he repel? Did he fall? (If he fell, it's amazing he wasn't seriously injured from such a fall.)

Ive seen a bunch of pictures already of this gorilla, and didnt know this was the one that this happened to. I used alot of his photos in the Survivor game.
Straight up, they need to shut this zoo down. That lowassed fence, and them not even acknowledging that. They need to be shut down.
I don't buy the "lowassed" fence photo.
The photo may be authentic and it may be part of the area at that zoo, but how is that supposed to keep gorillas in?
And if the answer is, "the gorillas are at the bottom of a 15 foot deep embankment" ... gorillas can climb. Climbing is one of their main abilities. And "shrubbery?" - gorillas eat shrubbery for breakfast (literally).
So I'm not buying that the only thing between gorillas and the public is a ravine, some shrubs and a rail the height of a guy's groin. If that was the case, there'd be gorillas running around all over the zoo everyday.

TONGO, do you have some sort of affinity for gorillas? Like, are they your spirit animal or something?

You know people have been hunting gorillas for a century, plus, I mean, this is just one gorilla that was shot, I'd do that on a dare. People are only upset because it's news.

I understand your point about media, but I think most people who hear about it find it a bit upsetting on principle - that the animal (which in this case is an endangered species primate - a great ape - a cousin to man and thought to be one of the most intelligent creatures on earth) was killed because he was a victim of circumstance (or possibly negligence). The gorilla wasn't doing anything "wrong," he was just reacting to a unique situation he had no idea how to deal with (in human terms). He didn't deserve to die. That's the upsetting part.

That probably has something to do with why they're endangered.

Maybe this photo is more believable?
or this one?
The child fell down and was injured but nothing serious, which can only be put down to luck... or aliens.
