I also agree with a journalist at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, that these endangered animals should be in preserves, not zoos. JMO

Please see the video I posted above. Jack Hanna addresses
many facets of the blame game going on, as well as how the Columbus and Cincinnati zoos (and the 220+ zoos in the U.S.) produce millions of dollars for the preservation of these gorillas and other endangered species
in the wild.
He also discusses how they build, monitor and check the zoo enclosures so they'll be as safe as possible while still allowing viewing.
There are many grey areas in this whole national controversy.
