Let's calm down ok guys? You are starting to sound like psychopaths.

I think his comment would have been fine if he didn't include the first part.

It only takes one time of something happening to know that it needs to change. You're saying a design that only allows a child to fall in "a couple times in recent history" is good enough... I'm simply saying as a business that accepts money from people to display dangerous animals, that business should do as good a job as possible making sure those people are safe. For me, a child falling into a dangerous animals enclosure "a couple times in recent history" is "a couple times" too much.

I mean, it's a four year old kid. How can they have such bad design that a four year old can fall in? Even the fake ponds on my local amusement park with shallow water where you pay to drive RC boats has better barriers than that.

No need to say anything about society and putting the blame on someone else. I'm putting the blame right where it belongs. And you know what? The fact that they blew the gorilla away before it had a chance to do anything to the kid proves me right. And when "gorilla world" reopens, they'll have their shit together.

By your logic, literally everything should be significantly altered to ensure a 4 year old can't get hurt. Speaking of pools, better make sure no recreational pools over 1 foot deep exist in our country. After all, the kid could drown in it. Too bad you can't use the "their parents should be preventing that" argument being that you just debunked it saying it wouldn't be their fault this happened. The list can really go on and on. Stupid parenting and an idiot of a kid can cause extreme situations to occur. Significant costs do NOT need to be incurred to prevent these incidents, because the reality is, they (the business) are already doing a well enough job to prevent it in all but an extremely rare occasion. I really suggest you read a book called 'The Giver'. They try to create a Utopia by essentially taking all pain away from people, but it isn't nearly as great as it is made out to be. When we continue saying businesses are blamed for essentially everything, and that we need more and more and more safety precautions, we really do encourage stupidity, because you'll never be at fault for it.

Pools have lifeguards on duty. Not only that, but you go to a pool to get into the water. You don't go into the zoo to fall into enclosures, the zoo is supposed to protect you from the animals :)

The zoo will improve their safeguards and the little kid is ok. It's all good.

let those pieces of shit fall into a cage with tigers.

You clearly have no respect for wild life. Maybe you should be dropped in a cage with a Tiger with no weapons and see how you fair. Sorry its not the Gorillas fault he got shot.

I was referring to the SJW's...

 

Of course I wouldn't throw them into a cage with tigers though. I'm not that cruel.

 

Edit: What's more irritating is how they suddenly went to blame white people. First, the kid was black. Secondly, even if he was white, what does that have to do with anything?

I mentioned that already. Only reason I posted this was because the irresponsibility of the mother pissed me off.

And lifeguards are supposed to protect you from drowning, but do they in EVERY circumstance? No. Shit happens on occasion.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

This topic shows me this site isnt a place for adult and reasonable conversations.

Basically. I don't see why a gorilla stirs up a load of controversy. Now, let's be fair, no one likes seeing animals dying. But at least in this situation, they didn't want the gorilla to die.

 

Just recently(in mexico), there have been street poles with heads of wolves tied unto them. Don't see why there isn't any outrage for that. https://www.rt.com/news/344972-wolf-beheading-spain-hunting/

 

What sticks out to me is the irresponsibility of many parents. Do we seriously need to tell people the obvious? The woman is even suing the zoo now. I guess that's the 'murican way of solving things...

Goddammit, I was writing in 2 places and mixed the places up. Now I have to be embarrassed in two places
