Did they shoot you?

@@Jack-nj4gr lol

Ur funny i like u

because he wants to buy chocalate

+daarrkmatter +daarrkmatter they dont often. There is a chance the gorilla will because it is startled. The Cincinnati Zoo didn't want to take the small chance that the gorilla might attack the child and therefore killed the gorilla. The boy was also dragged and thrown. Just know that

there's more white people on welfare than any other race.

+KCAssassin98 that's logical. there's more white people in America than any other race. are you implying that you don't expect white people to be poor?

Zeezke99 he is assuming because the mother was black that she was a welfare queen.

Lori Hackney you honestly think in such a high pressure situation the zookeepers were thinking about race? besides whites play the victim card more than black people do these days so I doubt there would be a race war.

But everything these days is a lynch mob. You hear something on the news and immediately you want someone to pay for it. You yourself have formed an internal lynch mob against "The Hillary" for crimes that you think she may have committed... I thought justice was not a voteable issue? We all vote with our opinions, every day. And if we think someone is guilty, in our minds they are guilty. You think Hillary is guilty of something - I happen to agree, she probably is. But neither one of us has any proof? Doesn't stop us from forming opinions, though. If somebody you trusted told you your next door neighbor was a child molester, you'd probably start up a lynch mob, right? If your "gut instinct" told you that the guy following you down a dark alley was trying to rob you, you'd probably prepare to defend yourself, right? Well my gut instinct is telling me that the parent and/or parents / legal guardians of this child were not paying attention to their child at the time of this incident. Maybe I'm wrong...? And maybe we're also wrong about Hillary. But probably not.

+Just anobody I'd rather shoot Hillary than any other animal.

that might have been a major blunder on the moms part.. but any parent knows their kid's going to get out of your hands once or twice and do something you don't want him to do. maybe not to this degree, but still. my biggest question is why a human can enter the enclosure through any means besides for care of the animal.

an endangered species's life is more important than one of 7 billion humans.

Andrew Deyoe Not if you adhere to a civilize society. I would not make a dicision that a human would die to save an animal. I am very protective of animals. Fortunately I was not forced to make this ecision. Jack Hanna, knows what of he speaks. It is unfortunate that the animal was killed. My understanding it grew up, pretty much in a family environment until 2014.. Kinda like the movie, :"Sophie's Choice".

Are you saying we should have let natural selection run it's course and thin the herd a little? If that was the case we should have thrown the parents in and let them fight it out. lol

so...You're saying a human child should've been killed

Moises Herrera yes, I think that's the joke he was trying to make,.

SentByHim You're pic scares me more then the video

Moises Herrera lol :)

She shouldn't have HAD a child, but the child shouldn't be punished because of her. Any human life is worth more than any animals.

The irony of this is she was probably irresponsible enough to get pregnant by mistake in the first place.

Who are you to decide who and who doenst deseve kids, all parents make mistakes , evryparent in this wolrd has left their kid unattend and slmething bad happen, no one is perfect in this case the consequences where more grave by chance but we all humans we all make mistakes.

"She doesn't deserve a child" Accidents happen. Hop off of your high horse. Its a gorilla. If it was tranquilized, the gorilla would've became more aggressive and killed the kid. Who are you to say she doesn't deserve a child? What happens if the child just ran off?

+Mian Mir you're correct. Accidents do happen. One of those accidents was this lady getting pregnant and having this moron of a child.

lmfao 🙌

Well no shit no one would voluntarily jump into a pit with a gorilla, wtf does these even mean? This could have been avoided rather easily, watch your fucking kids and we don't have to cross one more gorilla off the already dwindling list of the species

Jack McGowan get offended.

Except the kid shouldn't have been in the pit. No one should and that's quite obvious yet the mom let her kid climb in there unmonitored. That's the issue here. Sure, maybe killing the gorilla was ethical but it wouldn't have to be killed if the dumbass mother watched her kid for two seconds

+Django Freeman he's not offended, he's making a point...

It’s difficult to judge since I wasn’t there. Sometimes tragedies can happen even when people do everything correctly.

Here's a question for you - if you had accidently fallen beside an infant Gorilla with the mother nearby, what do you think she would have done? Do you think she would have paused and said "well, a human life is worth as much as my infants..." or do you think she would have turned you into playdough? The zoo did EXACTLY what she would have done if the situation had been reversed.

you're a special kind of stupid

+skinsman82000 ignorant

That's my point exactly. If it can't be in the wild then it's not repopulating. Real repopulating is raising a animal in a wild like environment with no human interaction. Once they are old enough they release them and keep track so if they get killed they will know exactly what happened. This is not repopulating it is enslavement for human pleasure and curiosity.

CtatLdp​ I feel you it's a Fucked Up world. That's why I like Russia, mostly natural land, undestroyed.

Exactly. Amen.

It's obvious you are not aware of who Jack Hanna is and that's okay. He's much more than a spokesperson for a zoo. The man is obviously aged, he's done much more in his lifetime than simply being in Columbus. I've met him, spoken to him, he's an absolutely incredible guy! Now, what I'd like to hear is the parents and as to why they were blatantly ignoring a child.

+WanderingOldSoul hes the director of a zoo so obviously he would agree on the decision.

michael d He is the director of the Columbus Zoo *now*. I live here, I've met the man, I've sat with him and discussed his earlier years when he was an American version of Steve Irwin travelling the world and saving thousands upon thousands of lives of other animals. Any professional in the field of animals would have agreed with the decision to end the gorilla's life. As wrong as it is to end an animal's life due to a human's negligence, it is what is looked at as the "right move" in today's society. I hate that all these people are jumping on Jack Hanna and other representatives of the zoos. Jack Hanna is not connected to the Cincinnati Zoo, but he is a well known, respected animal activist and professional that the public would listen to more intently than if a unknown "spokesman" of the Cinci Zoo came up on national news. What choice did these people have? Either kill an animal that unfortunately society looks at as a less important individual than a human being or let the child be brutally beaten in front of hundreds of children and parents as they stood and watched with the child's mother. I mean, c'mon.

What I said. The parents should have been sued for the loss of the ape

I agree. I can't believe the threats the mother is getting over this. A decision had to be made in a split second. If the zoo decided to tranquilize instead of killing the gorilla and the gorilla, in anger, killed the child then all the hatred would be at the Zoo. It is definitely a lose - lose situation. Hard to believe that people would target so much anger and animosity towards a woman that don't even know. Good thing stoning is illegal. On second thought, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones......................

+ZilchFan66 if you saw the video fully he said it would take 10 or more mins to tranquilizer to work

Javon Clement I am not arguing that at all. I am saying that tranquilizing the gorilla would have probably been the wrong choice because it would not knock it out right away and would take time (10 mins). All I'm saying is that people are mad that the gorilla was shot to save a child BUT if the gorilla was tranquilized and killed the child before it went unconscious then everyone would be mad at the Zoo for not shooting the gorilla. Thus the lose lose situation. I think the zoo did the right thing but no matter what unless we were there and witnessed it can we know who to pin the blame on.

Oh my bad i replied to the wrong comment lol

Larry completely different than a skill based profession but nice try with anecdotal evidence

@@ColinEchebongbonge Are you dumb, he worked all his life with animals.

I agree

Harambe's behavior was very delicate and thoughtful if you have half a working brain to analyze it's behavior. It first tried to pull the kids leg to move him to another location (just as how he would do with a baby gorilla). After the first dragging, it reevaluates wondering if pulling the leg is hurting the kid. So he proceeds to checking his arms (very delicately), and realizes that it would be even weaker. So then it proceeds to checking his clothes (people often mistakes this action as pulling his pants up), and it realizes that probably pulling from his pants wouldn't hurt the kid. The next time we see it dragging the kid to another location, Harambe is not grabbing from the kid's limbs anymore, it only pulls the kid from the pants. The last minute before he was shot, the kid and the gorilla were sitting peacefully outside the ditch in a dry surface. The kid was sitting between the gorilla's leg.

Speak for yourself. I would easily save the gorilla first unless I cared for or am related to the child.

I would have made sure my child didn't slip the bars in the first place. The no one would have been killed.

I'd we didn't have them in zoos they'd all die. check out the habitat size they have to live in. it's only a few miles and quickly growing smaller. that in addition to poaching.

natrual selection

Jonah Husak good point, im sure they are well taken care of and gorillas have a cool compound there to hang out on. Main point is if there is any blame if should be on the Parents/Kids stupidity, their accident cost a Gorilla its life. But the right decision was made. There should be a Ranger/Game Warden on site with lethal and non lethal options on command, so you dont have to call the fire dept wtf. All but one gorilla obeyed and came inside. At first I thought the one Gorilla was protecting the kid, which he might have been doing..But that soon turned into what looked like to be the Gorilla claiming the child as his own possession. At that point action needed to be taken, like Jack said the Gorillas strength is incredible and he could easily hurt the kid severely intentionally or not. The child was lucky it was Gorillas, they for most part react well with humans. My Biology professor in college said if you had choice to be in a cage with chimpanzees, orangutans, or gorillas. Chose the Gorillas, because those are the only ones that might NOT kill you

Nooo why would we ever value human life over animals , smh

Lets look at it from a logical perspective dumbass, the endangered and inslaved species died and the stupid human who left their child unattended let it happen, the kid substained more injuries falling into the pit.

+Zackychan _ i don't say i would be a good parent but her child almost died because she didn't watch him that's what i call a bad parent

Mounir Ananou She was watching 3 other kids AT THE SAME time.

"what's going on, why are these humans screaming like banshees at me. I'm trying to protect this hurt creature."

Dragging the little ones is a type of transportation technique to them because their joints are much more stable than ours Harambe was trying to protect the child didn't you saw him getting the child behind him to protect I mean a crowd screaming which you've never seen looks like a danger to me.

"Don't worry kiddo, I will protect you from all those Karens up there screaming at you!" 🤣🤣

Shouldn't be that easy for a child to get in. The Zoo is at fault.

They keep showing the gorilla sitting there with the kid, not the part where it's dragging the kid around.

+Little Bear Very true. Good analogy.

Its funny how you guys only ask "what if he hurt him" and not even consider, for one second, "what if he didn't hurt him?" Many gorillas or animals like that are very parental or protective over their younglings. If that gorilla really wanted to hurt the child, why did he protect him?

Its funny because whenever someone, supposedly like you, ask what if he had, you act upon it as if it had already happened? It isn't like a robbers instinct like "give me the money or I shoot the girl" incident. That probably was the quickest response, but was it the most logical? Better yet, was it even a fair response?

There is abundant empathy, but for Harambe. This is understandable, as gorillas are near-human. Plus, they are gentle giants, as opposed to their rather destructive hairless relatives. Plus, Humans have overpopulated to such an extent that it is driving other species out, causing what the media refers to as the next mass extinction. From a Darwinian point of view, such an issue threatens the circle of life. The species could stand to lose some numbers, just as the overpopulated elk in Yellowstone could.
