wow this is such a sad story. This is just all around tragic, I don't think there was any other option than to kill this poor gorilla and I think the zoo people gave a reasonable explanation as to why they could not use tranquilizers, although I am sad it had to be killed. I'm glad that four year old boy is not seriously harmed, this would be a completely different story if the boy had been killed by this gorilla.

I know this boys parents are experiencing some media backlash for not watching their son more closely, but I am on the fence about it. Sometimes the most attentive parents can look away for a second and boom their kid is in danger/trouble. But then some witnesses (I don't know how reliable they are) said the four year old was talking to the mother saying that he wanted to swim with the gorilla and the mother said no, and that the kid deliberately climbed into the gorilla pen. Several people on face book and twitter are crucifying the boys parents.
