I lived the zoo life and know why the enxlosure was constructe this way. These open top enclosurers made like pits are to appease the animal rights groups. No matter how secure we make something people will find a way to harm themselves.
I do agree these pit style enckosures are crap and far to easy to enter. At the zoo in Calgary their Big Horn sheep enclosure has this nice looking rock work around the viewing area. Well I looked and if a child ran off from a parent and climed this wall it is 20 feet straight down to concrete. Not real safe in my book but this is supposedsly the better way.
Having to shoot the Gorilla is a shame but the safest thig to do. He was the leader of the group and mature no saying what his real plans for that child were. The darting sounds so nice but you have about fifteen minutes to wait for him to be out. Knowing primates he may have pulled the dart out and stabbed the child with it. The sedatives they use are way more tan what a human can handle.
It was on our late news last night police are investigating the mother. The animal rights of course want the zoo investigated. Funny they ask for that when it was their demands that lead to these style of enclosures.

They should of called in Bill Cosby to sedate it (no harmful intentions, it may have actually happened)
A high glass window should be fixed around the enclosure for everyones safety and pleasure of viewing.
Secondly letting a child wander off at a zoo wouldnt really qualify you to sue if the kid clambered over the rail, if you were there then it most likely wouldnt have happened.
Third to the animal rights groups, zoos are not corporate enterprises (to my understanding) and lots of money goes into housing, entertaining, breeding and feeding the animals. Also a human life is more valuable to the state than a gorilla, and there was simply no time for tranqing the ape due to the fact that it was gettjng agitated , defensive and a sharp prick might just really tick it off and having a dead gorilla and child would really hurt the zoos reputation, and lawsuits means less money for ensuring the animals have a comfortable life.
That is just my 2c on the arguement. It is sad yes and many parties can be blamed but more importantly it must be avoided in future
