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.

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...?

But what if the gorilla had killed the boy? I'm quite sure these bozos wouldn't be carrying placard, but instead, hauling blame on the boys parents.

Its quite almost a shame that these people now place the life of a gorilla over a human life.

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.

If you check those comments i posted you will notice people are blaming the parents for not keeping eyes on their kid. But some are saying the zoo keepers should have used tranquilizer instead of a gun.

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.

Deonne Dickerson and Michelle Gregg are the parents of the four-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure housing Harambe on Saturday at Cincinnati Zoo.

It was revealed that criminal filings against Dickerson(Father) stretch over a decade and include burglary, firearms offences, drug trafficking, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and kidnap.

Not all human, some human, particularly those who live in the west.

These mofos should ask themselves where their priority lie, human life, or animal life.

Wow! People can be such pansies sometimes... Digging up past history just to show the parents aren't fit to be parents, thereby justifying whatever their crazy mind want justified.

As long as a human life was involved, screw the animal. It's better to be safe than sorry.

That's the irony! When it involves animal rights, and LGBT rights, these confuse people scream their lungs out.

Talk about misplaced priorities...

it was an unfortunate event, you talk of using tranquilizer? How are we sure that it was available at that point? Blaming the parents is a stupid way of reasoning,it could happen to anyone at anytime! Some say the gorilla wouldn't have killed the child? Are you the creator of gorillas? C'mon

You just wonder how stupid_ these people are. Sometimes, its rather amusing seeing them display such active stupidity, placing human want, over animal want.

SMH.

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? angry

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.

For those asking bout tranquilizer, according to the defense team of the zoo, it takes around 5 min for the tranq to take effect and if shot the gorilla becomes restless till it kicks in
