        I wonder if the Cincinnati police are going to rule that since the gorilla was black he probably deserved it.

        If the parents watched their kid, that gorilla would still be alive.

        have you ever taken a child to the zoo. They want to look at the animals. The zoo has a duty of care and has failed

        To be fair, more could have been done on both ends. Both the parents and the zoo are to blame.

        it is tragic but Children wander and are inquisitive. Zoos are for children. Design safer enclosures. Simply

        So sad and disgusting. That gorilla was murdered for no fault of him at all. The authorities could have tranquillised him easily.

        the parents may have assumed the zoo had made it impossible to enter the enclosure. The zoo should be accountable.

        all children like to wander and are inquisitive but we should expect safer facilities to ensure this doesn't happen.

        She was the cause of a rare animal losing its life, & also endangered her child. Bet she was too busy on social media to notice.

        you are assuming something you have little knowledge about. Only fact here is the kid got in when it should be impossible.
