They KILLED it? They should have tried negotiations first. Banana sanctions at least! Man!

I wonder if the cops who gunned it down consulted the UN first.

Never call the police unless you are willing to have them kill your problem. Sounds like the keepers were not doing their job. First, build the enclosure so the animals can't get out. Second, have a plan to evacuate the zoo and tranquilize any animals that escape anyway.

Joh Kerry thinks the threat presented by escaped gorillas has been exaggerated.

Whatever happened to zoo employees with tranquilizer darts?

Had this happened at the Cincinnati Zoo, the two officers would be filling out forms for two months, then appearing in front of a citizen's review panel, then would probably have a suspension and reprimands placed in their files. Hell, they might be fired or put on trial!

If they'd just waited a little longer, the Cowboys would have signed it as a defensive tackle.

Another needless police shooting. They should have taken him down, handcuffed him, arrested him and read him his rights.

A man told his friend that he had an 800 pound gorilla for a pet and that he kept it in his home.

His friend exclaimed: In your HOUSE ? Where does an 800 pound gorilla sleep ?

The man replies: Anywhere he wants to.

Reminds me of a visit to a California zoo. They had an orangutan, male, about 350lbs. The creature had no neck, just muscles.

He looked me in the eye and I just knew that he resented being locked up and if he ever got out he was going to make some humans pay for it.

Man, this is terrible news. How horrible. Those poor kids will be traumatized for life and never want to go to the zoo again. I feel sorry for the Dallas Zoo. This will be bad business. We always enjoyed the Ft. Worth Zoo more.

Hope they had something with a little more oomph than 9 mm pistols.

WOW. I heard nothing about this. See what happens when you take a couple of nights off from FReeping??

I had some family down in Seaworld San Antonio and they have reported that the sharks and killer whales did NOT escape.

Gorilla Shot After Escaping at Dallas Zoo

How can this be? I thought Kerry was in Idaho.
