Found it:

"The killing of a Cincinnati Zoo gorilla after a child fell into its enclosure has sparked outrage online with thousands of people signing petitions calling for the child’s parents to be investigated."

“We the undersigned believe that the child would not have been able to enter the enclosure under proper parental supervision,” the petition reads.

“It is believed that the situation was caused by parental negligence,” it adds, before calling for “the parents to be held accountable for the lack of supervision and negligence that caused Harambe to lose his life.”

Just watched an interview with the Zoo spokesman. Seems the gorilla couldn't be tranquilised because it would take too long to act and he would be pissed off in the meantime.

Duty of care cuts both ways here. The zoo should ensure that no one can access the animals, however a determined adult or curious child will always find a way around this. Parents are ultimately responsible for their children.

Welcome, Belgarion! I for one have missed your excellence contributions as demonstrated at D&R.

I'm sure everyone will be asking the parents what happened, but that does not take away that duty of care the Zoo has.

Precisely.

Compensation lawyer for the kid's parents.

"Your Honour, there was a breach in the safety fence. It was not secure against penetration and had not undergone inspection and repair as stipulated as part of the condition for the issuing of a licence for the zoo to operate as a business enterprise.

$3 million is being sought by the plaintiffs against the Management for culpable negligence causing distress, depression, panic attacks, erectile dysfunction, flash backs, tension headaches, and the consequent development of agoraphobia".

Cool

The onus is on the Zoo management to ensure this is the case. Silly quips about security guards on each enclosure, or electric fences, are just that.. silly
