Cincinnati Zoo disaster

In Cincinnati Zoo A gorilla was shot because a little boy fell in. We had to write about if we think they should have killed it or tranquillised it. Here is my answer.

In My Opinion
By Solly

Do you know about gorillas, and how they’re endangered? In Cincinnati Zoo a gorilla got shot because one little boy fell in the enclosure. In my opinion they should not have killed the gorilla.

In my eyes they should not of killed the gorilla, they should of tranquillised it instead of killing it. Before you make one more gorilla in the world perish, you should think if there is any other solutions.

Another solution is to distract it. They could of sent down food or a gorilla doll beating its chest or something while people come down on ropes and grab the boy and then heave him to safety, I MEAN REALLY COME ON IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

Another thing is if they shot it then it might land on the child and crushed him. The damage could be very, very severe. Or maybe it could be heavy enough to have crushed him so hard the it killed him, I mean it’s possible.

Also gorillas are endangered (which means there aren’t many left) so tell me why, WHY IN THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD YOU SHOOT AND KILL THE GORILLA INSTEAD OF TRANQUILLISING IT. Let me get this straight you take a Gorilla from the jungle, it’s natural habitat, put it in a cage and just because a little boy falls in then you kill it. I live in a messed up world.

In Cincinnati Zoo a gorilla was shot because a stupid little boy fell in. Instead I think they should of tranquilize the gorilla, or distracted it but when they shot it they were running the risk of the gorilla falling on the little boy. Still the main thing is GORILLAS ARE ENDANGERED and there was a better solution!

The end

For now…
