@Cobrat - just distinguishing it from the Zoo fiasco. The resulting damage in my mind is less since it can be put back together. Maybe that should be the child’s punishment - assisting with reassembly.

Point taken.

This does relate to why so many commenters were outraged at the mother of the 3 year old kid who crawled into the gorilla enclosure because of her initial FB post. They perceived it as minimizing her responsibility for her kid’s actions, especially considering it led to the tragic death of Harambe by among other things barely mentioning him in that post. It also left some with the impression that she considered his death was a mere afterthought and with some…the impression his life was “disposable”.
