I think as much as I dislike the fact that at the end of the day the gorilla died, I can't blame the zoo staff for making that decision. I mean let's be honest, as explained in the news report, if they didn't act fast, the child could've been badly injured and perhaps even killed as he was being dragged around carelessly by the gorilla. I think the kid's parents were to blame for this mess, if it's too much for you to keep an eye on your kid and make sure he/she doesn't get into trouble, especially in crowded places, or in close proximity to potentially very dangerous animals, you certainly shouldn't bring your children to a zoo.
