    I’d argue the kids parents nearly killed a kid, what became of them? Maybe post as an Unpopular opinion though.

      Also he is (or was) a monkey in an American zoo and since I live in the UK, why should I give a shit?

        I wouldn’t expect a tea drinking tosser to understand. Gorillas aren’t monkeys they are apes. Perhaps you should be out colonizing and stealing potatoes and valuable ancient artifacts? Also brush your teeth.

          You know what?

          There are 2 million fewer smokers in the past 17 years (since the ban was introduced) – a trend that looks like it is going to continue, and an estimated 1500 fewer heart attacks due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure per year, along with tens of thousands of other deaths due to smoking and second hand smoke exposure per year.

          Compared to the death of one fucking monkey – I am pretty happy saying it has been a success.
