I guess you are serious, for the record I wasn't
That said, the kind could have known better; the gorilla is an animal.
So is the kid
Especially since there are signs near the fences which warn about this not feeding animals or jumping down or something.
You know the kid is 3?

In the news article it said a witness said that his mom said "no your not" when the kid said he wanted to go in. The kid went in anyways. His fault

I once stole my parents keys and tried to open up our car as a three year old because it was sunday and I wanted to "grote beer kijken" (great bear see). I grabbed the keys from up the table while hardly being large enough to reach for the table.

Good thing my parents stopped me before I figured out how to operate that bloody automobile.

Also the zoo was in the wrong for having shitty fences, but that's somehow not an option

Great poll overall, 4/7

If Cecile the gorilla didn't want to get shot she would have used the child as a shield. I think it's clear the gorilla knew exactly what she was doing -- the zoo life was eroding her will to live, she pawned the dirty work off on an unsuspecting zoo worker probably suffering from PTSD now. The child was only ever in danger of becoming a complicit accessory in suicide by zoologist. Tragic, tragic story.

This thread might be one of my most underrated shitposts on the forums, simply because nobody found the self-immolation tag as funny as I did

I dunno why I've always read it as "self-immobilization" until now

I appreciate your humility in thinking that you might be wrong about Cecil the lion being not involved in this situation

Pondering this poll
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.
