Cincinnati Enquirer Editor: People ‘Placing More Value on the Endangered Gorilla than the Child’

COSTELLO: "You know -- you know, some people are calling the killing of this gorilla 'murder.' They're holding vigils for the gorilla. It seems as if some are putting more value on the life of this gorilla over a child." 
ANDREWS: "Absolutely. And I've gotten some e-mails to that effect. You know, we've seen posts that, you know, the gorilla was innocent. You know, I got -- had an e-mailer or a comment this morning that the gorilla was innocent and then the child was at fault. You know, that seems a little bit extreme. But you do have that animal rights and I certainly consider myself an animal lover, but you have that animal rights contingent that absolutely is putting -- placing more value on the endangered gorilla than the child."
