Well at least they had the sense to collect and preserve some DNA. I wonder who the lucky gorilla gal will be.

I have no issue with the decision to shoot the gorilla. Sad, but it was a decision that had no perfect option.

That is a totally different issue than holding the parents negligently responsible. For a board filled with people that scream "personal responsibility" at so many things, I am surprised at the perspectives on here.

People seem to be quick at determining what "ought to be," but that implies a "perfectly orderly" world. And others seem to be quick to determine what "should have been," after they have had hours, days, even weeks, to evaluate all the after-the-event disclosures .... when the actual event took seconds for a decision based upon an extremely narrow viewpoint of another human being compelled to make a split second decision.

I just call it "Monday Morning Quarterbacking"!

And 99% of those "pundits" never stepped onto a playing field.

.. that's why the "team" was trained and present for such a quick response.

Again, IMO, that's what's wrong with all of these "after-the-event" dissections and evaluations .... whether it's a gorilla or a gunman in a mall.

It's one thing to have the participants discussing afterwards in a "debriefing" environment with close supervisors present to determine from that specific scenario what could have been done differently, if anything, so that in the event they are faced with a similar (it's never identical) situation they might implement a different approach. That's appropriate and good procedure.

But it's another to criticize and look for a scapegoat based on after-facts and opinions.

If the gorilla killed the kid, this would be a one day story. Our society is bizarre.

Now it's another week of hand-wringing and fretting by the pundits.
