Do you find fault in the recent incident where a 17 year old gorilla was shot dead to protect a 4 year old boy that had climbed into the gorilla's enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo?
Humans like to find fault. Variously, news accounts fault:
* The Zoo for not having proper restraints in place for the crowd
* The parent for not properly restraining the child
* The Zoo for using lethal force on the gorilla
I don’t know that there is blame to lay, but I think the whole incident it worth examining and discussing with the hope of understanding why a 17 year old male gorilla in the care of a major zoo was shot dead by zoo officials.
