Right or Wrong? Gorilla Shot Dead In Zoo When Boy Fell Into His Area. by Explorers(m): 6:26am On May 31, 2016 |
An animal behaviour expert believes Harambe the gorilla, who was shot dead when a four-year-old boy fell into his zoo enclosure, was 'investigating, not attacking' the child, which it understood was 'defenceless'.The 180kg, critically endangered western lowland gorilla, was killed by officials at Cincinnati Zoo in the U.S. just one day after his 17th birthday after the boy climbed through barriers and fell 4.5 metres into the enclosure on Saturday. *. Cincinatti Zoo staff shot Harambe after he dragged the boy through the water, but many say he was simply trying to protect the child. source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3617102/Australian-animal-behaviour-expert-doesn-t-believe-gorilla-Harambe-gorilla-hurt-boy.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3617016/EXCLUSIVE-PICTURES-parents-four-son-fell-zoo-enclosure-sparking-controversial-killing-Harambe-gorilla-emerges-father-lengthy-criminal-history.html

Footage taken from another visitor shows the gorilla grabbing on to the boy's shirt. Many are placing the blame squarely on the parents of a four-year-old boy, who investigators believe crawled through a railing barrier.

University of New England animal behaviour expert Professor Gisela Kaplan. Children weren't normally a threat according to Prof Kaplan, who said dominant gorillas like Harambe were protectors of their group and that the primate would have been investigating the strange new situation. 'The silverback would’ve understood that it was a defenceless small child. They would not normally attack, they are not an aggressive species (and) in the wild I’m certain the boy wouldn’t have been killed,' she said.'If he was going to attack he would’ve warned him first. The first thing they do is charge and beat their chests and as far as I know that didn’t happen.' Bondi Vet Dr Chris Brown has also spoken out about the gorilla's death, suggesting in a Facebook post there could have been other ways to dealwith the situation which wouldn't have resulted in killing the animal.'The killing of 17 year old gorilla Harambe after a four-year-old boy fell into his enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo has left many of you asking whether such a drastic move was really necessary...?

Harambe's death has sparked an outcry of emotion, with thousands of mourners branding it a 'senseless death'(Monday Vigil). Some blamed the zoo for its response and questioned whether the exhibit should have been surrounded by more secure barriers. The zoo's Gorilla World has been closed since Saturday, but authorities are hoping to reopen by next weekend. Flowers and commemorative notes were also left outside the zoo. *. Meanwhile in some countries far away, 1 or 2 innocent men, women, children are killed/assaulted/abused daily, denied their rights in their fatherland and no one is moving a finger. 1 Like

Explorers:I suppose the people blaming the parents are saints and without fault right? The way and manner people act all saintly and self righteous is sometimes choking. I'm sure, the zoo keepers, who are best to know how to handle the situation, did what they thought was right, at that precise moment. 1 Like |

it was an unfortunate event, you talk of using tranquilizer? How are we sure that it was available at that point?

When this happened in Nigerian Zoo, it's was understandable that this is Nigeria where everything goes but I think this Oyinbos which I believe are technologically advanced should have known better. I mean, what happened to tranquilizers? ![]() 2 Likes |

His mother was very reckless.She should be blamed for negligence. Since the boy fell there's no taking chances on him.Depressants are very slow to kick in into Gorillas so the only choice was to take it out and save the boy.Though in rare situations Gorillas take care of children that fall into their enclosures. 4 Likes |
