(1,820 posts)....frustrated that the zoo opted to kill the animal rather than try to tranquilize it. I was not aware what race the family was when I voice my frustration. I saw the video and didn't think the gorilla was trying to hard the child. It seemed he was trying to help/protect him and the adults above were out of control...it was a tragic and awful event and I wish the mother had better handled the child, knowing he wanted into the "pool".
And I wish the mother has said she was sorry about the death of the gorilla.
I don't think the father's history has shit to do with it and making it public knowledge is wrong.
Just like the attention given to missing white children and not children of color the media is wrong.
Then we know the media is wrong 99% of the time - evidence by its promotion of Trump.
Best not to watch, buy or listen to the media...then they will have to change to win us back.
