Not anymore. Idiots killed him rather than distract him. If that thing wanted to hurt that kid, he could have ripped him in pieces before the Lone Ranger got his gun. I have avoided this, because it Pisses me off. And Who lets their toddler outta sight in a public place, anyway? Good grief, the number of things wrong with this event just makes me nuts.
Just think of how many people involved Drive on roads innocent people share, not even knowing how close they are to an IDIOT with a steering wheel.

That gorilla could have killed that kid in the blink of an eye at any moment. I would have blown that apes head off in a second. Toddlers have gotten away from every parent who ever lived. Any one who tries to say otherwise is a liar. Unexpected $hit happens. It's just a f'ing animal.

My kids have NEVER gotten away from me. Nope, not ever! It's called being a good parent. You don't take your eyes off of them - especially in a crowd! I was never too busy to keep an innocent, defenseless child safe! They should've shot the parents instead of the gorilla. The gorilla had more brains!

Yep, Could Have, had ample opportunity, But Didn't. And, some moron decided killing that fabulous animal that Could have ripped that kid apart Long before anyone had time to get a gun , decided that killing the gorilla that, best I can tell, wasn't threatening the child. Why did nobody go in to distract the gorilla while someone else grabbed the kid? Why do people so readily call stupid reasonable?
I'm so happy that I have not needed any of today's adults to respond to an emergency in My life. Being at the mercy of well intentioned idiots is terrifying.

If that animal wanted to hurt the kid, nobody would have stopped it. Unless someone has a Video of the whole event, and can Show aggressive and threatening behavior by the gorilla, I am not going to agree with killing it.

How is killing the gorilla any different than the gorilla killing the kid? Both would be senseless. What sets us apart from the "animals" is the fact that we cherish life in any form and don't indiscriminately kill "just because".

That gorilla looked to me like he was just curious why the kid was crying or maybe he was trying to protect him. He didn't look like he meant the kid any harm.

The zoo's responsibility is to keep the animals IN the enclosures. The gorilla didn't ever escape.
People are supposed to have more sense.
