So you're okay with zoo's not fully barricading dangerous animals off from the public, and you prefer there be ways that little children can fall into exhibits where gorillas can get ahold of them when their parents aren't looking.
If a toddler can get passed a barricade that contains a 400 lb. Gorilla, then that really says something...
I'll withhold judgement on that front. It could have easily been that the kid managed to come across a weakness in the system that reasonably went unnoticed for a long time. You can only do so much to prevent something like this from happening and can only see where a flaw is in it when someone exploits it. If that system had been keeping people out for years and years, and never had an incident that indicated a problem, I have a tough time faulting the zoo.If a toddler can get passed a barricade that contains a 400 lb.

Yes, it does. You make adjustments. Then you move on.
Oh, but the parents this and the parents that... Should be using birth control now look at the poor gorilla, bla, bla, blah...
Yes, you certainly said.... something....
................And? You said cut to the chase, but all we've seen is establishing shots of the car.
It says the cage was made to keep gorillas in their enclosure. Which it did just fine.If a toddler can get passed a barricade that contains a 400 lb. Gorilla, then that really says something...
I would have thought the zoo's responsibilities cover both of those. If you're going to invite the public somewhere, and especially if you're charging them, you have a responsibility for their safety.It says the cage was made to keep gorillas in their enclosure. Which it did just fine.
It's the parent's job to keep their kids out of the enclosures.

Especially when you are talking about a crowd that will have a large proportion of children in which there is a good chance that some kid is going to go running off despite the efforts of whoever is watching them.I would have thought the zoo's responsibilities cover both of those.

No, but they should be making a reasonable effort to prevent people (especially kids) from entering the area. Now, this doesn't mean that they could possibly identify every means that a child could come up with to get in and prevent it, but when that means is shown, they should move to fix it. Kid move a trash can over to climb on it and over the fence? Make the cans harder for kids to move or raise the height of the fence.It's not like they had a walk way to invite them in!
