I have watched the videos and see all the posts about the gorilla and the boy incident.  We all know what we believe to be the facts and different opinions have formed.  I came in this afternoon and my son was repeating how sad it was that the gorilla was shot.  He said the four year old made his choice and that was that.  Obviously he was repeating what was heard at school from the adults or children there.  The whole situation is sad I agree.  We have a boy who was curious and fell into a life threatening situation, a mom who will forever blame herself (although accidents happen) and zoo officials who no doubt made a hard call.  The right call might I add.  Let me say to all of those out there that are outraged over the shooting of the gorilla, Your not related to it get over it.  Why don’t we get mad about the unborn babies, or the children that are abused in this country.  There are over 150,000 abortions worldwide daily or if you can’t wrap your mind around that just the 3,000 abortions in America daily.  There were 1,520 kids that died last year to child abuse, but I haven’t seen the protests over that.  Instead we get mad over an animal and act like they shot your uncle.  The Bible says in the Book of Genesis that you were formed in God’s image.(not a monkey or gorilla)  I have heard it said that you might of had relatives hang from their necks but never one from their tale.  When  did we as a country begin to value an animal more than a human life (even an endangered one).Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Genesis 2:7 ESV.
