Is there no such thing as an accident anymore?

We can't have a completely safe environment at all times. Accidents will happen and unfortunately some of them are very sad and hard to deal with. Does anyone really think that the zoo wouldn't have done something to prevent this if they thought this was ever an option?

JMHO

Where do you stand: zoo's fault or parent's fault for Gorilla death? -- PUAhokie 06/01/2016 08:10AM

Bottom line, I gotta say the zoo. ** -- MikeVT85 06/01/2016 2:46PM

Are people mad the kid got in the exhibit, or about gorilla's death? -- MP4VT2004 06/01/2016 12:10PM

Parents ** -- tallahasseehokie 06/01/2016 12:03PM

Neither...except maybe the activists who pushed to have -- WestEndHokie39 06/01/2016 11:37AM

Easy. Both. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 06/01/2016 11:12AM

What about the guy that shot it - how many shots did he fire? -- bigbadbird 06/01/2016 10:36AM

It's the gorilla's fault - should have left the kid alone -- HokieMacDaddy 06/01/2016 09:59AM

Actually, he should have fought harder when captured -- TomTurkey 06/01/2016 10:18AM

And now I'm just seeing people linking this (from 20 years ago) -- PUAhokie 06/01/2016 09:49AM

Your "other" scenario just happened a few weeks ago. -- vthokieq 06/01/2016 09:57AM

The parents are at fault...BUT... -- GSOHokie01 06/01/2016 09:37AM

Both, but the Zoo really should have had inclosures -- HortHokie 06/01/2016 09:26AM

Both to blame. won't stop me from carrying kid to zoo though... -- All The Way 06/01/2016 09:21AM

I blame mankind and our encroachment on their habitat. -- Guy LeDouche 06/01/2016 08:50AM

The zoo. It's similar to an "attractive nuisance" Same reason -- 48zip 06/01/2016 08:49AM

The zoo had a breach 4 (?) years ago. It seems there was a known issue. -- Thankful Hokie 06/01/2016 08:38AM

Had a safety/security inspection last year that was all ok ** -- 133743Hokie 06/01/2016 09:17AM

Parents are always ultimately responsible for their child. -- vthokieq 06/01/2016 08:35AM

I heard about the petition going around this morning. 400,000+ morons in -- Brown Water 06/01/2016 08:27AM

It's Cecil.2 at this point. -- reestuart 06/01/2016 09:16AM

Eh not really. Cecil was hunted and killed for no reason. If the guy had -- AbsolutVT03 06/01/2016 1:40PM

I'm talking about the uproar. I do agree the situations are different... -- reestuart 06/01/2016 5:48PM

Yep. Logic/reason go out the window when cute animals are involved. ** -- HokieNoVA 06/01/2016 10:13AM

Did you say cute? ** -- 48zip 06/01/2016 3:14PM

Agreed. It's a shame, but I'm not organizing a candlelight vigil. -- reestuart 06/01/2016 10:53AM

Zoo mostly to blame. If a 4 yr old can foil access to a dangerous exhibit -- Jerseyhokie29 06/01/2016 08:20AM

A little bit of both. -- hokiehunter07 06/01/2016 08:39AM

My thoughts exactly. -- psychobilly 06/01/2016 10:46AM
