DAY 1294 May 31, 2016


The hot topic is: Were Cincinnati Zoo officials justified in killing Harambe the gorilla?

I've included the link in case you have not seen it.

I don't think justification comes into play. Forced? Yes. Here you have a child 3-4 yrs. of age unsupervised to the point he/she climbs over a railing and through a fence and falls into the gorilla enclosure. This gorilla is not a tamed pet and I am sure it was just startled as everyone else. Just think if you were standing in your backyard and something big and alive fell out of the sky.

I am not sure trying to tranquilize the gorilla would have prevented the gorilla from becoming more agitated to the point where it may killed the child before it went under. I think... yes the child had to be saved but I believe the question should be what in the hell were the parents doing while the child was climbing over the railing and through a fence?
