All of this twitter/facebook rage is that bullshit,we dont know what actually happened,it could be just a child who decided to have a gorilla hugged or something lol

I do believe that the parents should be somehow fined for this.
You are visiting a Zoo.
Zoo is an artificial habitat for the animals. Caged or not, They are still kind of dangerous. You cant be so carefree around the zoo..
They just killed gorilla because it fell into the ITS CAGE. its outrageous.
Its like with that little b@stard who wanted to die by jumping into the lion's cage(sorry for swearing).
Are you KIDDING ME?
PEOPLE like them should be caged instead, away from the towns and the community..

No it should have not been killed. There's enough signs for stupid people to know that they should not go into the damn enclosure. I mean, do you even need a damn sign to know that? The parents should've been watching the damn kid. They should've used a tranquilizer if anything and I would've fined his damn parents if not thrown their a**es in jail for child endangerment. It's so stupid how the first thing that comes to stupid people's mind is killing an animal. First off, for any smart *** that will ask "what if it was your kid?", let me tell you that my kid would've never ended up in that situation. There's other ways to control this type of situation and humans just seem to be getting lazier and lazier or just plain dumb.
it is very sad to know that there's a endangered gorilla gets killed for the sake of the kid . lol i think this is stupid and i don't know what the story is but i think and this is just what i undestand the boy disturbed the gorilla and then the gorilla attacked him isn't it ? well this should be the responsibility of the zoo and would be blame to the parents of that kid 
I am really moved. How inhuman can they be? Shame on them. They should die themselves by hanging from a fan but omg! they only have a table fan
yes am agree with you. but i think we cannot believe on wild animal. they cannot be closed to human. they are not trust-able. in one time they may be closed to you but on other time they can hurt you. so be careful. and i think the zoo management should take positive step to control the access of any thing to these fences.
Real unfortunate incident. I'm surprised how a zoo has no tranquilizers, loss of life wasn't necessary. It was carelessness on the mothers part and the zoos part too that costed a precious life.
I sincerely felt bad for the gorilla. He is just there inside the cage, doing his own thing. And then there is the kid who crawled to take the doll. The gorilla as if like protecting this kid, but why they just shot him like that. Don't they have tranquilizer for this kind of animal? And to the mom of this kid, what she's doing and thinking, she's with the child and she should take care of him. Another loss of innocent animal.
The zoo authorities had some silly excuse like they ran out of tranquilizer or the tranq was not a quick-acting one... IMO, the authorities should have been charged with intentionally murdering an endangered animal. And still, 90% of the blame lies with the parents. They must pay the compensation, and the money must be used in protecting the gorilla habitations in Africa.

I cant really understand this outrage
For me a human life is worth more than the life of an animal

Agreed. Human life is worth more than the life of an animal. But that is not the issue here. The human life (the boy) was not in danger, as evident from the various videos and images posted to the social media. The gorilla was trying to protect the kid, and the zoo authorities decided to kill him instead of sedating with a quick-acting tranquilizer dart.
So you would have known that for sure if you were there right? That the gorilla wouldn't have killed the kid, 100%?

I think animal are animal they should be compare to human. I think the life of human are more socialize and indeed is . so I think gorilla are just like human but they are actually not.
If you're sad that the Gorilla died, don't be.
Death is always natural in the animal realm and is never feared or avoided. The cause of death is of no importance whatsoever to animals, whether through experiments in a lab or naturally in a forest.
You have your tears and a world you choose to be part of. They have a world you're not part of and they don't have tears.

Nice post, you've hit the philosophical nail on the head here I think, and the irony of an army of people protesting the death of the gorilla.
The reason everyone is so upset, is because they have the high-level emotional and cognitive capacity to "care" about other beings, in a way that other animals cannot. There's a strong philosophical argument that this empathy and intelligence makes a human life worth more than that of other animals.

This idea that a animal is worth more than a human being is something that has been building momentum in the last say 20 years.
At least in this case, the life of the animal was worth much more than the life of the human being. There are more than 7 billion human beings in the world, and on average 200,000 of them die every day. On the other hand, there are only a few tens of thousands of western lowland gorillas remaining in the world. In short, the life of this living being:
is worth much more than the life of these subhumans:
Nice logic there, so your point is basically the less individual organisms that exist in the world, the more their life is worth?
So I guess you would agree that, as an example, smallpox virus is worth more than most other organisms on the planet? You would sacrifice humans to save the smallpox virus?
In my opinion, the number of organisms is an overly simplified crude argument, we should look at a more philosophical idea of the cognitive/emotional capacity of animals and also of our obligation as a civilised human society to protect our own kind.
I would have preferred if they'd used tranquilizers, but they made the decision to kill the gorilla to save a human, in case the tranquilizers took to long to work and the human died as a result. True, the gorilla is an excpetionally intelligent animal, but a human is worth more in my opinion.
This is a very sad situation, but I believe they made the right choice. Your poor "numbers" argument is flawed.
There should be NO Zoos...Animals are not here for us to put on Exhibit for our own pleasure. They share the planet with us and just trying to survive as with any other creature.
Can't agree with your statement. Zoos generate significant revenues, which are then used for protecting the wild population. In addition to that, zoos teach the younger generation about the need to conserve the wildlife. Also, almost all of the zoo animals were born in captivity. They have near zero chances of survival in the wild.
