Gorilla killed after boy falls in its cage

The director of the Cincinnati Zoo insisted on Monday that a one meter barrier around the gorilla enclosure was adequate, even though a 4-year-old boy was able to climb over it and fall in, forcing zookeepers to shoot the Gorilla dead after it grabbed him and dragged him around. The 17-year-old Gorilla's death has outraged animal lovers, about 20 of whom staged a vigil outside the zoo. More than 200,000 people signed online petitions on Change.org to protest the shooting, some demanding "Justice for Harambe" and urging police to hold the child's parents accountable.
