I completely agree with this.
Ditto. There shouldn't have been a way for the child to get through in the first place. The zoo should have seen that design as a flaw before what happened. The parental supervision wasn't there, and all three things TOGETHER led to an unfortunate event.
It's funny, that wasn't even the first time a child fell into a gorilla enclosure in the US due to poor architectural design. This also isn't the first time that an animal was killed in the US due to attacking people (heck, in 2007 a tiger escaped in the SF zoo, killing 1 teenage boy and injuring 2 more. Police didn't believe the 911 calls they received, leading to a delayed response. Had that not been the case, the boy may have lived).
The internet doesn't remember these incidents the same way. In those other incidents, the parents weren't blamed or charged, under very similar circumstances. So... good job internet. Good job torturing the people that were actually involved in the care of Harambe.
