But what if it were the gorilla your dreams, or a chimp off the old block...
Maybe if people would quit giving stupid zoo creatures names, they wouldn’t get so emotionally attached and ascribe human characteristics to dumb animals.
Of course you shoot the gorilla. End of story.
Don’t worry...before they sent him to the big crematory in the sky, they extracted his sperm.
It may be worth debating whether it was good policy to shoot the gorilla, but the outpouring of sympathy and maudlin emotion on the gorilla’s death shows what a bubble we live in. If these people want to see a cruel death of a gorilla, watch a film of gorillas fighting in the wild. The winning gorilla brutally attacks and kills the weaker gorilla. A shooting is much more merciful.
Wait ‘till they hear that Elise the Cow is now a Big Mac.
Agreed, when will our dishonest media finally realize they have over reported this story 100 thousand times - enough already!
He might have continued to drag the kid all over the cage without hurting him, but he might not have. Anybody want to bet? I’d pull the trigger. And no, I wouldn’t like it, but it would be a no-brainer for me.
People need to realize there is a difference between people and animals. I would sacrifice my own dog (if I had one) to save another human’s life.
is it parody or parity? series. this is hugh. playing lose with the english lanquish is knot a good think to dew.
The gorilla did not check into the zoo like it was a luxury hotel. He was captured or bred to be there for a profit. A certain minimal set of standards is required for such exhibits to protect the public and the animals. The question is was this zoo in compliance? (I have seen my daughter get out a measuring tape at a zoo) Were their credentials and certifications up to date? Most the habitat improvements you see in a zoo are not because the management would like a nicer exhibit, but to remain in compliance with regulations. Accomplishing both is a win-win. That's the goal.
If the zoo was in compliance they have nothing to worry about. If not, they are in big trouble. Either way a review will be done in accredited zoos for resulting changes which may be needed to protect the people and animals.
I have to wonder what these people would be saying if the gorilla had killed the child.
These same people would say “WHY DIDN”T THEY JUST SHOOT THE DAMN THING?”
Trump’s Fault!
Agree this story needs to go away.
Gorilla Lives Matter! LOL.
But the wackos think a boy is a dog is a cat, etc. They think that there is no order of nature placing humans at the top. In short, they hate the “dominion over animals” thing.
“Presumably, these folks have never had a slippery four-year-old in their charge. “
One thing about hard core liberals is that they DESPISE CHILDREN. That’s just who they are, so the presumption above is very likely true.
I’m happy that the guy had a good enough shot to only take down the beast.
Humans trump gorillas.Every...single...time.
What was the MAKE, model, and CALIBER of the rifle used to dispatch the beast? Why is that info so secret?
