And after all this a memorial is held for the gorilla! Ok I like animals, but the boys life is much more important. Literally hundreds of people can die in a catastrophic disaster (ex. Earthquake, terrorist attack) and people don't bat an eye. Yet this gorilla dies and they have a statue and memorial for it. Do y'all find this as messed up as I do? Edit: I read back through my original post, and I came off a little bit harsher than I intended to about the gorilla. While I do think that a memorial for it is a bit overkill, the gorilla was an innocent animal acting on its instincts. However if your child was in the gorilla pin and it was dragging him around, aggressive or not, you'd want your kid out even if it meant killing the gorilla. And while I believe the parents should have been keeping a better place eye on their son (I mean cmon, he got into the gorilla pin and you weren't paying attention at all?!) if u have kids u know how easily it is for them to slip off in an instant. So while the parents should have been paying better attention, I can see how the kid could have just slipped away (and he was only 4, cmon)
