It is a shame they had to kill the gorilla

It started with a 4 year old boy falling into the moat of the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati zoo. It appears that the boy crawled through a barrier and fell. What kind of a barrier was that? What kind of a parent that let a 4 year child loose, probably social media to blame, either texting or looking up Whatspap or some such thing. 

It is regrettable that they had to kill the gorilla. Actually it is a shame and the blame lies totally on the inattentive parent and the insecure zoo environment.

The video on MSNBC was clearer and the boy was in no danger at all. You could see the gorilla catching the tiny hand with its big hands. It appears that the gorilla is trying to evaluate what it should do, a situation it is not accustomed to. What a pity?
