Okay, as much as I love animals and fight for the rights of Gorillas as man has almost made them extinct. In this case, I gotta go with the cops.

Gorilla Shot After Escaping at Dallas Zoo

DALLAS - Police shot and killed a gorilla that escaped from its enclosure at the Dallas Zoo on Thursday and injured three people.

One adult and two children, ages 10 and 2, suffered minor injuries from the gorilla and were taken to area hospitals, Deputy Police Chief Daniel Garcia said. He said the three were bitten and scratched.

The zoo was evacuated after the animal escaped and police were notified. When the gorilla charged two officers, getting within 15 feet of them, they opened fire, Garcia said.

"We were forced to put this animal down," he said.

Garcia said police officers' objective was protecting citizens until authorities could figure out what to do with the gorilla.

Diana Gonzalez, a zoo patron, said she saw the animal banging on the door of its enclosure, and then it broke. The gorilla then scampered out of the gorilla pit.

Dallas zoo director Rich Buickerood said the primate was an inquisitive 13-year-old Western Lowland gorilla. He said the animal was likely "extremely excited and extremely fearful while it was out."

He said zoo officials are trying to figure out how the escape happened.

Last year, a 300-pound gorilla escaped twice in two months from Boston's Franklin Park Zoo.

In the second escape, he strolled around the zoo and the surrounding streets for about two hours and attacked a 2-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman. Both suffered minor injuries. The animal was sedated with tranquilizer darts.

The zoo reopened its gorilla exhibit last month without the escapee, named Little Joe, who now spends his time in a holding area away from the public.

the zoo didn't have any way to stop the animal before the police came? thats seems odd.

Mikey_219Inc · 03-19-2004, 04:07 AM

hova · 03-19-2004, 04:14 AM

Mikey_219Inc · 03-19-2004, 04:17 AM

based on fact, animals are smarter than humans (humans simply have an enhanced ability to prove their idiots) ... I wouldve shot the kids to keep the gorilla from bothering them, and then caught it

yeah shouldn't the zoo have tranq guns and shit on hand, or the police should have called in the animal people who do that kind of thing?

someone visiting the zoo probably called 911 from a cell phone not really giving the zoo officials time to react before poloice arrived.

That's such bullshit. I bet that wouldn't have happened if it were a white gorilla.

maxjohan · 03-19-2004, 08:14 AM

Oh, maybe this was one of the few Gorillas that wasnt born to live
in a cage and face the idiots that visit zoo.

myjah · 03-19-2004, 09:44 AM

sounds like the zoo needs to get its shit together

This is obviously part of the vast right wing conspiracy. If only the republicans had not been in office, the UN could have stepped in and negotiated a peaceful settlement with the gorrilla. He just needed more time, that's all. That Damn GW Bush! This is all his fault!
