Cincinnati Zoo kills gorilla after 4-year-old climbs into his pen

I'm used to FB links not going through, but since this one was set to public it probably would have worked. Sorry.

 

Umm yeah, but he died at 73, which was pretty much avg life expectancy for an American male. Guess since it was lung cancer, it was the cause. But not sure how much longer he would have lived.

 

Think Esq. Dick W found his first expert witness.

 

The Wikipedia play is almost as good as something from The Atlantic. Going further, Postman's argument means, of course, the Golden Age of Parenting was in the 18th Century. Parents were there to make sure their kids were safe., unlike today.

 

Not to mention Floridians.

 

Don't think he was really arguing parenting skills, but if there are more things to distract it's probably easier to get distracted.

 

No, no. I'd be on the zoo's side.

 

And hot, female Floridian teachers.

 

Given that her post has been shared just shy of a million times, I think she's doing just fine creating compelling social media content.

 

Anyone can share or like a post. Doubt more than 1,000 read it.

 

I read it on Facebook yesterday. It was a reasoned, well-thought-out piece from a person with important experience interacting with both the zoo and gorillas.

So, you're probably right. Not enough knee jerking.
