    We just got around to watching that episode so it was fresh on my mind. Still have about 5 or so to watch.

    Yeah that would work. Just not on the human trafficers, as long as they all paid them in advance.

    It was a tragic situation, the child was able to get into a dangerous place and we know that this is far from new. Often children find a way to bypass child-proofing and then new efforts are put in place to advance the safety. The one thing I don't understand is why the zoo keepers did not have something on hand to sedate the gorilla...or if so why it was not used? But the decision to ACT to protect the child was unquestionable...

    Rather than blame, decisions need to be made to prevent such a situation in the future. Learning from mistakes I what humans should do not blame.

    They did have the tranquilizer gun available, but they said it would take approximately 10 minutes to take effect, also, it could irritate the gorilla making it even more dangerous.
