'Accidents happen' Fury as family pass off gorilla shooting after child fell in enclosure
Looks like we aren't the only ones questioning the parents whereabouts when the kid fell in the gorilla enclosure
Not a very good remark to make IMO
Not when the gorilla was killed due to protecting your child that YOU were supposed to be watching

The Mom said the boy was able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes... no broken bones or internal injuries.

Quote:A petition has since been set up on change.org calling for the parents to be charged with child negligence and the death of an endangered animal.
Being signed by more than 100,000 people, it says: “This beautiful gorilla lost his life because the boy's parents did not keep a closer watch on the child.
Quote:“We the undersigned believe that the child would not have been able to enter the enclosure under proper parental supervision.
“It is believed that the situation was caused by parental negligence and the zoo is not responsible for the child's injuries and possible trauma.
“We the undersigned want the parents to be held accountable for the lack of supervision and negligence that caused Harambe to lose his life.
“We the undersigned feel the child's safety is paramount in this situation. We believe that this negligence may be reflective of the child's home situation.
“We the undersigned actively encourage an investigation of the child's home environment in the interests of protecting the child and his siblings from further incidents of parental negligence that may result in serious bodily harm or even death.”
