With the open “enclosure” like that, to foresee something getting chucked into the pen, if not finding its way in there, would not have been beyond human intelligence, even if it was beyond simian.
Just because you have caged a gorilla doesn’t mean you have to think like you think a gorilla does.
I very much doubt the curtain has come even CLOSE to ringing down on this drama... to the courts it definitely is going to go.
