Why are liberals making this gorilla into another Cecil the Lion story????

Do liberals really have so much time on their hands, and such distorted values so to speak, that they have nothing better to do than grieve for an animal???

It’s sad that they shot the gorilla, but he’s a gorilla, he’s an animal, he’s not on the same level as a human being.

So with minimal digging, they can find out all about the sinister past of this guy. But the same media can’t use their investigative tools to learn anything about Obama.

Remember when #BlackTwitter made this about race? Just like they always do. They never look at evidence or be happy.

And many self-righteous folks here on FR have jumped on others for daring to wonder if these two were irresponsible boobs.

Why do the parents life have to be dissected in public?

Shooting the gorilla was the correct thing to do. An unknown probability of Gorilla vs Child vs the known probability of a dead Gorilla.

I was curious how long the parents had been married, but the Daily Mail left that information out of the story.

I live in Ohio. This is a huge story because the gorilla was killed. Seriously, this was a tragic accident, that’s it.

The police investigated it, there will be no prosecution. Animal rights activists are protesting. The parents are receiving death threats. It’s so unfair to be judging this couple when it could have happened to any of us.

As all parents and grandparents know, when you have small children, accidents happen in the blink of an eye.

No one wants to see an animal killed BUT I am thankful the gorilla died and not the 3 yr. old child.

They should send them the bill for the cost of a new gorilla.

The parents:

Sure am glad the race thing turned out as it did, since that eliminated the racism factor, or something.

This country is getting so strange.

Sounds to me that the parents should have been sterilized or put down long before the gorilla emcouter

I am not going to blast this family. Yes, I know the father has a criminal past but it sounds like he had turned his life around. Unlike so many, these parents were spending time with their children. They were taking them to the zoo. Seems to me that they were trying to do things the right way.

I read some of the posters talking about how they’re such great parents and they never take an eye off their children. I’ve known good parents that have lost children because of horrible events. Things happen. There are no perfect parents. We’re not in 100% control of everything in our lives. Things can change in a split second.

Also, from the article .......

“He insisted barriers were secure, asking: ‘Do you know any four-year-olds? They can climb over anything’”

The barriers may have been secure but they should be made to where four year olds cannot climb over them.

These parents may not be the brightest people but I believe they were trying to do things the right way. Yeah, they made a horrible mistake.

Since, apparently, parents can control their kids so easily, I guess we don’t need low speed limits in neighborhoods.

Parents will tell their kids to stay out of the street and the kids will obey.

The media is so mad at these parents, they may accuse them of being “Donald Trump supporters”, and probably Homophobes too!

My family has been to this Zoo hundreds of times.

Animal habitats are built to keep the animals in primarily.

I bet said parents were on their phones and allowing their brats to run wild. I have witnessed it time after time.

In my part of the state this weekend, a 16 yr old girl driving a car ran over a motorcycle killing one person and injuring another. She was texting.

I hope she goes to prison for a good long time.

Actions have consequences. Examples need to be made of morons.
