Animals vs people

Well, you know I have to say something about this. You've heard about the Cincinnati Zoo, shooting the gorilla? In case you haven't, a 4 yr old boy managed to wriggle through all the fencing/barricades, at the gorilla enclosure and fall in, about 10 feet. A male gorilla grabbed him and dragged him around the enclosure. The zoo's emergency team, shot and killed the gorilla. They did this to save the little boys life. I have a love for animals. It's tragic that a critically endangered animal was killed. It would have been more tragic if a 4 year old boy had been killed. All this uproar is so ridiculous. Yes, the little boys parents should have been watching him more closely, but if you're a parent, you KNOW, a child only needs about 2 seconds to get into trouble. Yes, the zoo needs to take another look at the safety, but if this is the first time something like this has happened in 38 years, I wouldn't bust their chops over it. More children die from bicycle accidents. Good grief. What's happened to our sensibility??
Geesh!
