Or an'06 to center mass? I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Texas I seem to remember Papa Hemingway alluding to a certain hunter who shot gorillas in one of his stories. Actually I think the short story was about boxing. Been a while since I read it. I remember him also mentioning going to A&F to buy a Colt Woodsman in the same story. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

Got me to thinking it was probably a pretty substantial caliber. I mean, it might not be a 400lb gorilla they had to deal with. It could be up to rhino, hippo, or even elephant sized threats.

Can't speak for the Cincinnati Zoo, but our Riverbanks Zoo here in Columbia keeps a CZ .458 Win, a Whitworth .375 and a Winchester .338 Win on hand for "emergencies" . The keepers who work with the big animals must qualify with them every year. They buy the ammo from us (gun shop) and they bring me a big bag of the fired brass when they're done. We actually sold two CZs in .505 Gibbs to a large zoo up North several years ago.

The kid should have had his ass beaten before it got to that point. Apparently, he had been talking bout jumping in the water well before he slipped through about three fences and did it.

Second, a child should not be able to defeat the barrier. Third, once the ape had the kid, there is no way of knowing what he would do. Hit him with a tranquilizer and chance that it might piss him off? Nobody wants to see a 4 year old ripped in half. Nope, drop him NOW. Whatever happened, the kid is a higher priority than the ape.

Amusing as this thread has been, it is very likely the parents are still on their knees thanking God that the zoo staff shot the gorilla. If they are not then they damn well should be. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

They were warned. My boys at four had enough skills to climb a fence and about everything else. The parents are at fault. I for one see value in the ape as there are very few of them around. On the other had there seems to be more than enough of these "good little boys". The loss of this child would have been a terrible loss to the family, however they might pay better attention to the rest of their children and dole out some discipline after. Had the boy been spanked more often he wouldn't have been acting like a primate himself. “You never need fear a man, no matter what his size.

Yeah, the gene-pool obviously needs a good dose of chlorine.

I don't care what you build around it. And I know I don't give a fugk about a big monkey getting shot. Last but not least, I've hated zoos and SeaWorld type establishments since I was a child.

I saw an Asian man dangling a 3 year old over the alligator pit at the L.A. zoo. I couldn't believe it. The pit was only 6' lower than the rail. And I mean leaning over the rail and dangling the kid. I didn't know if the 'gators had the learned behavior of leaping up to snatch treats from handlers but that was my first thought. Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger. Stupid always finds a way.
