TV star's baby handed to gorillas

TV star's baby handed to gorillas

Donna Air gave birth to daughter Freya in September
Television presenter Donna Air and her zoo-owner boyfriend Damian Aspinall intend to place their daughter in the care of a gorilla.
The couple plan to put Freya, who was born in September, in the gorilla enclosure at Howletts Zoo near Canterbury, Kent.

They will then let her be carried off by the female of the group.

Neither parent has any qualms about letting their daughter be taken off despite five keepers being killed by animals at Howletts and its sister park, Port Lympne, since 1980. *snip*

I, uh, I'm speechless...I know gorillas are usually quite gentle with children they come in contact with, but why chance it?

Spelling edit
