Great Question:What If The Gorilla Had Said,"Hands Up,Don't Shoot".Would They Have Not Shot Harambe?

[Rexx Taylor]

you know, they could of at least gave the gorilla a request for its last meal.

What are you talking about? They threw the kid in there.

but the Gorilla preferred white meat

 

[Rexx Taylor]

they didnt have to shoot the gorilla! all they had to do was send Hillary Clinton to the rescue.

 

[Lakhota]

Only a retarded skank would start such a sleazy thread.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

so why is Black Lives Matter so upset?

 

[tyroneweaver]

They should have distracted him with some food and then darted him.

Given the criminal record of the parents,maybe the Gorilla was setup and the parents were looking for a payday

I wouldn't be surprised if the leaders of the Black Lives Movement will soon plan to sue the producers of the original 1933 Classic "King Kong" for the same reasons they are pissed over the shooting of Harambe

 

[tyroneweaver]

The mother of this kid should be accountable for this tragedy. That kid should be punished as well.

Given the criminality of the parents I think they were looking for a payday

maybe both parents are very nearsighted, and also forgot that they had a son?

 

[rdean]

Gorilla's can't talk.

 

[Freewill]

The zoo reports that the black child was being violently dragged around and was disoriented, not sure how they know that.

Anyway what is BLM bitchin' about? Black on black crime? Killing an ape to perhaps save a black child? WTH?

Tranq's do not work right away on a 500 pound gorilla, all knowing one.

Pants up, don't loot!

too bad Michael Moore wasnt there,,all he had to do was just walk into the scene and the Gorillla would of dropped the kid and ran away

Never know, MM and the gorilla might have started mating.

Neither should you.

Can we have a dumb button in this forum?

Yeah, just throw him back in.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

If I had a son, my son would of looked just like Haramde.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the guy that shot the gorilla was a white-Hispanic?

Yes we do, it's called the Democrat Party.

Cincinnati Zoo still safe for visitors despite gorilla shooting, says director...

Boy's entry into zoo exhibit and gorilla's death investigated by police
31/05/2016 | Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding a four-year-old boy entering a gorilla's exhibit at Cincinnati Zoo and the animal being shot dead to protect the child.

A federal inspection less than two months ago found no problems with the zoo's Gorilla World exhibit but earlier zoo inspections reported issues including the potential danger to the public from a March incident involving wandering polar bears. Cincinnati police are investigating what transpired with the death of the gorilla, named Harambe, on Saturday, Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters' office said. Police will then talk with prosecutors about whether charges are warranted, the office said. Police said over the weekend that no charges were planned but spokeswoman Tiffaney Hardy said they are still gathering information on what happened. Some critics have said the boy's parents should be charged with child endangering, while others want the zoo held responsible for the death of the 17-year-old western lowland gorilla.

The boy was released from hospital later on Saturday and his family has said he is "doing just fine" at home. Tanya Espinosa, a spokeswoman for the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s animal and plant health inspection service, said there was not an investigation open yet but that it would be looking into the incident for any violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Zoo director Thane Maynard said the zoo has received a lot of support from visitors and animal experts since Saturday.

Federal reports showed an inspector warned the zoo that the public could have been "at great risk for injury, harm or death" on March 16 when two polar bears went through an open den door into a behind-the-scenes service hallway. At the time, zoo officials said some visitors were moved for safety as the bears were returned to their main holding area. No one was injured. The federal inspection found that two doors were left open by keepers and there did not appear to be "a formalised method" for double-checking locks and doors. The report said animals can be harmed when they access areas not meant for their use, adding: "Surprising the bears in the keeper area could have resulted in human injury or death." It also said the public would have been at great risk if the bears had got outside.

The report said the zoo's dangerous-animal response team used tranquilliser darts on the two bears. Mr Maynard said that using tranquillisers on the gorilla would probably have put the boy in greater danger because they do not take effect immediately. A routine inspection from April 4-7 that included the gorilla area did not find any violations, another report said. Inspections in 2014 found several issues including the need to repair areas where monkeys and horses were housed and a camel that appeared to be badly bothered by flies. Mr Maynard said the zoo remains safe for its 1.6 million annual visitors, but a review is under way to determine any improvements that can be made.

'We'd make the same decision,' zoo director says of gorilla shooting
Tue May 31, 2016 - Zookeepers shot and killed a rare gorilla on Saturday after a 3-year-old boy slipped into its enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, triggering outcry over how the situation was handled. If they had to do it again, they would respond the same way, the zoo's director said Monday.

Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard said he stands by the decision to kill 17-year-old silverback Harambe to save the child. The boy went under a rail, through wires and over a moat wall to get into the enclosure, according to the zoo. Footage shot by a witness shows Harambe dragging the child through the water as the clamor of the crowd grows louder. Zookeepers shot the 450-pound gorilla with a rifle, rather than tranquilizing him. The brief encounter sparked widespread Internet outrage over the decision to shoot Harambe and whether the child's parents were to blame for failing to look after him.

But those second-guessing the call "don't understand silverback gorillas," Maynard said in a news conference. And, they were not there when it was time to make the crucial decision. "That child's life was in danger. People who question that don't understand you can't take a risk with a silverback gorilla -- this is a dangerous animal," he said. "Looking back, we'd make the same decision. The child is safe."

'We made a difficult call'

The family was visiting the zoo on Saturday when the boy slipped away and entered the enclosure. Kimberley Ann Perkins O'Connor, who captured part of the incident on her phone, told CNN she overheard the boy joking to his mother about going into the water. Then, suddenly, there he was, being dragged by Harambe. The unidentified boy was taken to Children's Hospital and released Saturday evening. The family thanked the zoo in a statement through a public relations firm: "We are so thankful to the Lord that our child is safe. He is home and doing just fine. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the quick action by the Cincinnati Zoo staff. We know that this was a very difficult decision for them, and that they are grieving the loss of their gorilla. We hope that you will respect our privacy at this time."

Some suggested the boy's parents should be held criminally responsible for the incident. An online petition seeking "Justice for Harambe" earned more than 100,000 signatures in less than 48 hours. "This beautiful gorilla lost his life because the boy's parents did not keep a closer watch on the child," the petition states. Cincinnati Police Lt. Stephen Saunders said he is "not aware of any intention to charge the mother" or "the parents" at this time.
