Bondi Vet Dr Chris Brown has weighed in after a gorilla was shot after a child climbed into a zoo enclosure.
The 400-pound gorilla named Harambe was shot dead by Cincinnati Zoo officials just one day after his 17th birthday after a four-year-old boy climbed through barriers and fell into the enclosure on Saturday.
In a post to his Facebook, Dr Chris Brown suggested there could have been other ways to deal with the situation which wouldn't have resulted in killing the critically-endangered animal.
I would have preferred, of anybody involved, that the gorilla lived. But that's just my hippy dippy animals first and people can rot mentality. You'd think the doctor would go by Christopher
