        Sad. Great animal was killed because of an adults inability to monitor their child. Parents sue the zoo next as usual?

        So the boy didn't "fall" he crawled and jumped to get there. Now, the parents should be fined some good money for this incident!!

        The gorilla did not attack the boy! He should not have been killed. Shame on the lil boy's parents for allowing him to wander off!

        some outrage needs to be poured on @CincinnatiZoo for the absurd way they handled this situation. How could the kid get in also?
