The parents are at fault and the zoo bares some responsibility. They could tranquilized the gorilla . Why killing is always the answer..
Actually they couldn't tranquilize it without making it mad and it would hurt or kill the kid. The tranq would not take effect for 10 minutes. The zoo director discussed this in his newser and so did Jack Hanna of the Columbus zoo.

I never heard about the child wiggling his way through the secondary protection so that really changes a lot. But the outcome is still the same, the correct decision was made to kill the gorilla and save the child's life. I think the parents have been punished enough, both in witnessing the child's endangerment and all of the media attention. However, if neglect is the case then they should have to pay the Zoo for the value of the gorilla.
tough call, sad situation but this society has gotten to the point that absolutely nothing is your fault. They need to own up to their responsibility and take care of their children better than their material possesions...Sorry , just burns me up when people expect everyone else to do their job...
No question its the parents fault. I have a 7 and 9 yr old. We go places, we do things. They know how to behave in public and they listen. Why, because as parents we have taught them what's right and wrong and what's expected of them. They have rules and we ensure they follow those rules. You have to teach your children accountability and consequences. You would think this would be the norm for all parents but sadly its not. Its part of what's wrong with America and the world in general today.

At least that's my opinion.
Later in life, your children will thank you for being their parent first and friend second, more parents should follow your lead.

I always told my Kid that I don't expect to be liked; just respected... My job as a parent, was to make the unpopular decisions, and he'd understand them at a later date.
