Zoo kills gorilla, people outraged

[Fly320s]

I heard the guy who shot the gorilla used to be a dentist who hunted lions.

At the end of the article TFB gets into Dead Hooker Magazine territory with this brilliant bit of nonsense:

What do you think? Do you pack enough gun to put down a 450 pound gorilla?

Yeah, I don't know what's the recommended gorilla medicine, but I rather doubt it's something anyone stateside "packs" on a regular basis. I wonder if Taurus is going to come out with a snubby .500 S&W Magnum, called "The Silverback."

My Glock 19 will do it. I just have to put the muzzle right against it's eye and get the angle JUST right...

There was a Field & Stream column about 30 years ago maybe 35 where a guy describe how one of his City Neighbors came out to his place in the Poconos and there's a black bear rooting through the trash and how he leaned out the window and shot the Bear right in the ear with the 22 long rifle and the bear dropped dead
 he called his buddy up and come over it looked at the Dead bear and  22 and the guy said yeah I remember you told me that your uncle killed hundreds of black bear with his 22
 the guy goes did I forget to tell you that my uncle when he killed all those Bears all had at least one leg in a bear trap when he did it

It was a tragedy for Harambe and the zoo, a near-tragedy for the child, the parents are in a world of mess, and the BLM people really want animals & cops to stop trying to kill us so that we can keep on killing each other in peace.

What's next? Childproof lids on all zoo exhibits?

I used to be a zookeeper.  It sounds like just a tragic accident all the way around.  Lots of exhibits can be accessed by a person who climbs over a barrier, jumps into a pit, swims a moat etc.  Without putting up a bunch of bars, that is the way it is.

Our zoo had: 12 gauge, 375 H&H mag, and .416 Rigby.

Yeah, it is one thing to design something to prevent accidents.  When you have to design it to prevent deliberate action, it is more difficult.

I still want to know how you apply to be a zoo SWAT team guy.

Well, you certainly owe it to us to try.

They shoot gorillas all the time in Africa with 9mm FMJ, 7.62 Tokarev, and 7.62x39 with success. I doubt it takes much more to stop a recently caged gorilla than it does to stop a recently caged criminal....

Well, it is one thing to inflict an eventually fatal injury to an animal.  It's another to make it DRT.  A mag dump from a 9mm at halitosis range will kill a grizzly.  It just won't do it in less than ... a lot longer than it takes said grizzly to reduce you to your constituent parts.

A prosecutor who makes decisions based on the facts and the law, not political gain or SJW screaming...sounds like someone who needs to teach classes for prosecutors.

When the law fails to recognize living in Cincinatti as irrefutable proof of guilt, the law must be fixed.

When I was there a while back, the local radio station just called it "The Natty." Word to your mother.

Haven't lived there since 1987, so I'm not cool enough to use that.  I'll stick with Cincy.

Did see a neighbor kid who is going to the University of Cincinnati.  He's got a decal on his car that her cut down...it now reads "Sity of Cin."  I found it amusing.
