Harambe-The silver back gorilla

[rod]

Anybody who has raised a kid knows that in the blink of an eye the little buggers can make a break for it. I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what went down but I do believe that there should have been NO WAY for anybody to get to that protective moat short of climbing a fence. The way I understand it was the kid went under the fence. Too late to arm-chair quarter back it now.

I say they post a sign that says any children that find their way into the gorilla pen become the property of the gorillas. If you don't want your child to be raised by gorillas then please keep them under control!

I don't imagine they charge anywhere near $250/week.

Wow, that kid's got some trauma.

Middle-schoolers are gonna call him Gorilla-boy.

He will never be one of us! Rest in peace Harambe brother.

If it were my kid, I'd want them to shoot the gorilla. Even if it was trying to be protective, dragging a child around like a sack could do a lot of damage. Also, I'd go down there myself and try to draw him away. Better to have me be harmed than my child.

I tried to go back and make it a poll but it won't let me. @Monkey Butt can you edit my original post and add a poll?

Yes I can.
Let me know if you want to change the question and/or the options.

I blame the parents and the zoo. Their is no way he should have been able to get in the gorilla exhibit .

I blame the Zoo gorilla enclosure designers.
WTF were they thinking?
Keeping costs down?
It doesn't cost that much to put up a 4 foot fence.

Jeff Corwin and Jack Hannah are experts who have studied wild animals and their behaviors all their lives. I'm not going to go against them. I do believe the Cincinnati Zoo should send the family a bill for a rare silverback gorilla.

They will need it for the obviously upcoming negligence lawsuit.
The Zoo is gonna pay for this big time.

Harambe?

He must have been from Africa.

... if he had a black child?

Harambe was acting like a male gorilla...odds are he wouldn't have hurt the kid, but looking at the vid, the kid is lucky he didn't get more hurt.

RIP Harambe.

The family of the 3 year old is suing the zoo.

It's time to blow up the world and start over.

I agree with you 100%.
After viewing the actual event and looking at the diagram of the zoo enclosure ... this is 100% negligence in the design of the gorilla exhibit.

PS - I am not comfortable agreeing with @rod on anything so that shows how sure I am of my analysis after investigation.

@Monkey Butt sucks should be an answer.
