Cincinnati zoo kills gorilla to save child who slipped into enclosure

Dumb monkey

 

Not a monkey.

 

Gorillas aren't monkeys, you prosimian.

 

There's being a neglectful parent...and there's getting an endangered gorilla shot and killed inside his fucking home neglect.

 

Should have put down the mom for not watching her kid

 

I know, that's why I said it, I know my apes

 

That's what happens when parents don't let their kids watch Congo.

 

Besides the Mommy right here , the other comment that frosted my corn flakes was stay calm .

I bet you dollars to donuts she was on her cell phone and not paying attention .

 

Also, let's not forget the zoo shouldn't have barriers that can be thwarted by 4-year-olds

 

gorilla was doing a better job of watching the kid than his own mother.

 

I thought I heard an Indian/Paki say "He's mounting him." Probably said drowning.

 

she'd lose

 

It says that no one has ever accidentally got into that enclosure in 38 years. That kid worked for it.

 

I hope they counter sue her for getting an endangered animal killed through her neglect.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times: you're never going to fuck a baboon.

 

Ohio. smh

 

As the parent of 3 kids under 6, fuck this mom

 

Well yeah, you don't accidentally go into it, the kid obviously was trying to

 

Really is a terrible situation for the zoo. Have to decide between killing an animal that was in his own home or trying to tranquilize him and hoping it kicks in fast enough to save the kid and risking a lawsuit if it all goes south.

 

If its neglectful as it sounds I hope the mom is prosecuted, but anyone that would have to think twice about shooting the gorilla has their priorities way out of whack.

 

What about on our purpose?

 

Gorilla lives matter .

 

Should have shot the kid...

 

Kids over four, it's happened several times and only once with kids under four.

Spoiler

Fuck y'all making fun of my sentence structure on a holiday weekend. Shameful!

 

I'm not sure you could throw a kid in there if mom and dad worked together to toss the kid that far.

 

The gorilla shouldn't have been standing there

 

But guys, she was finally going to beat this impossible Candy Crush level. Some of you are so quick to judge.

 

I think most people accept the necessity of shooting the gorilla but still feel bad for it

 

Driving while monkey.

 

Yeah.
Now the situation that happened a week or so ago in India or somewhere where the guy was trying to kill himself so he jump in with the 2 lions, I don't think they should have killed the lions.

The zoo's animal response team assessed the 'life-threatening situation' and defended their decision to shoot Harambe rather than tranquilize him, but thousands took to social media to call it a 'murder'.

O'connor told WLWT she heard the boy talking about getting into the water before she heard a splash, followed by frantic yelling once onlookers realised he was inside the enclosure.

A video emerged on Saturday revealing some of the chilling moments Harambe was dragging the boy in the water, although more graphic portions were cut from the footage.

The panicked bystanders may have aggravated the tense situation, according to O'Connor, who said: "I don't know if the screaming did it or too many people hanging on the edge, if he thought we were coming in, but then he pulled the boy down away further from the big group."

In the video that emerged on Saturday, a woman can be heard yelling, "Mummy's right here...mummy loves you,' and before saying 'Isaiah be calm,' when the boy started crying.

Director Thane Maynard supported the zoo's dangerous animal response team for their decision to put down the gorilla.

"They made a tough choice and they made the right choice because they saved that little boy's life," Maynard said.

I'm far from being a tree-hugger, but lowland gorillas are endangered and stupid people aren't.

Sorry, #Harambe.

Here's a rule of thumb; if you have to shoot - aim for the least endangered one. #CincinnatiZoo #Harambe

Sounds like Eva's been in an orgy or two.

Also coming in scorching hot with her first take on the matter (and also her only other tweet in English)

Yea its beyond shitty. Will be curious to hear the details come out.

 

we should replace the mom's brain with the gorilla's brain.

 

Really wish we wouldn't give any more motivation for them to jump start the planet of the apes

 

Yeah, like that gorilla was going to eat that dumb kid

 

maybe not eat but he might have gotten bored and pulled the kid's arms off

 

after watching the CNN video, it kinda looks like the gorilla was protecting the kid from all those people screaming.

 

well looky here we got us a regular jane goodall folks
