I agree with the zoo shooting the animal, but that mom needs to be charged with something.

This is why we should have leash laws for children.

5/31/2016 10:43:50 PM

if the Gorilla was albino, would this even be newsworthy?

5/31/2016 11:03:10 PM

^ but Harambe was a thug and probably had priors

5/31/2016 11:15:53 PM

if trump was prez he would have built a better fence and made the gorilla pay for it

Anybody else think it's hilarious that the mother who took her child to the zoo is being accused of neglect?

I'd charge her with being a little lazy and distracted, but that's not even close to neglect.

5/31/2016 11:24:47 PM

I don't see a problem with the police reviewing the security tapes from the zoo to see if either the mother was negligent in watching her kid or if there are improvements the zoo can make in security.

From what I've read it happened pretty quickly and the mom was right there. Anybody who can't understand who the kid fell in and wants to point blame at the mom doesn't have a kid like that.

The worrying part is all that crazy god stuff she's spouting off.

I don't know what the situation was with the mother, but any childless person should just keep their opinions to themselves.

Outside of using a leash (which would gather its own set of harsh opinions), a 4 year old can jerk their hand away in about 2 seconds and be off.

In barely related news, I've convinced my wife to let me get our daughter one of those backpack leash things. I don't care how it looks.

Losing track of your kid is not child neglect though.

Neglect includes things like not feeding your child or not having food in the home that they are able to access and prepare, leaving your child unattended in a vehicle or dwelling for several hours, failing to provide them with prescribed medications or weather-appropriate clothing. It also includes things like not talking to your kid because you prefer texting and browsing Facebook, but we tend to ignore that kind of neglect and just act surprised when the kid has speech delay.

Also, there's usually a reason for neglect: mental illness, ignorance, substance abuse, domestic abuse, lack of childcare options or transportation, geographic or social isolation, religious beliefs, etc...

Of course, a guardian who routinely leaves their children unattended at the zoo, pool, mall, whatever...could be charged with neglect or endangerment even if nothing bad happens.

But taking your children to the zoo is the exact opposite of neglect. And losing a handle on the squirrelly one is not a crime.


I'm only being weird about this because I think children are the weakest and easiest people to neglect. They're also quite often really obnoxious, so it's not hard to justify all sorts of things in the name of teaching them a lesson or toughening them up. And, as much as we claim to care about them, they're still the most likely among us to live in conditions that we would describe as deplorable. Those conditions obviously do not include educational outings with your mother.


And, fuck it, I'm going all the way...any current parent who took time to type more than three sentences about how Michelle Gregg sucks is an even shittier parent themselves. Like, if you actually let your judgmental little finger click the comment button, so you could put in your two worthless cents about how she needs to be charged with a crime...if that was part of your day as an adult guardian of children...then you've already lost at parenting in so, so many ways.

worst case, let the zoo sue the parents and everybody else stfu.

6/1/2016 4:18:50 PM

someone tell that kid he's a piece of shit for getting that monkey killed, then knock over his juice box

6/1/2016 5:01:13 PM

why didn't the mother jump in to get her kid?

6/1/2016 5:55:13 PM

LOL

It's just another monkey dead.

people in this thread talking about monkeys are worse than rush. there were no monkeys involved.

Stop this baboon bullying by checking your primate privilege.

While the circumstances of this event have no outcome on anything regarding my existence, rest assured I am outraged for some reason, by the actions, or lack of actions, involved in what the media told me happened at some place.

FWIW Harambee is an east african word appropriated for use at the end of Kwanzaa ceremonies that means "Let's come together"

6/2/2016 1:28:26 PM

why is nobody talking about the people who got shot in Cincinnati that weekend?

I still think that whole #dicksoutforharambe thing on snapchat was unwarranted. I mean I sent my dick pic all week long to my friends just to say i "did my part" but I don't see how it really brought anyone closure
