    I'm kind of big into gorillas in zoos, but this is something you DON'T see every day; maybe some of your know the story about Kiki, the juvenile female gorilla at the Heidelberg zoo. Se was hand reared, but WASN'T moved to a different zoo, like other hand reared gorillas. Instead, the zoo kept her and reintroduced her to her family. I supported that descision 100% of the way.
    What do you think?
    Should the Heidelberg zoo have moved Kiki to a different zoo, or was it right to keep her through a reintroduction process?
