    Equally disturbing was the shooting of the Gorilla at the Cincinnati zoo, where the kid in the enclose was seemingly being helped by the Gorilla, holding his hand as they crossed the moat together, and then they gun down the Gorilla. Probably the right thing to do. But sad to see a friendly animal taken out like that.

    Damn. Grandparents live right there, thankfully they were at church at the time so out of the area.

    RIP to the victims.

    No one, I mean they would, but there's golf and the Indy 500 that apparently is more important. I did read that there was 2 of them and one is dead and the other is wounded and in custody so at least the danger appears to be over.

    Not sure if serious.

    That's not equally disturbing at all. In fact it's almost comical you'd even bring that up in this thread.

    He would have been better off creating a new thread for that zoo incident.

    Haven't heard it confirmed and yeah, it does sound highly questionable but weirder things have happened.

    That pissed me off like crazy. Gorilla probably was trying to move the kid to a safer spot than the one where everyone was yelling.

    Having said that, bro, not the same.

    It's impossible to know though and the gorilla could have accidentally killed the kid just playing around. They didn't want to take that chance so they took him out. It's sad but I don't think people fully appreciate exactly how dangerous a gorilla is.
