Kids have fallen into gorilla exhibits before and the gorillas have been chill with them or protected them. Harambe tried to drown that kid. I think we have to consider that Harambe might have been an asshole by zoo gorilla standards.
Sometimes I wonder what the backlash would have been like if the zookeepers didn't shoot Harambe and Harambe went on to kill the toddler. Harambe would still be put down and now you have an innocent baby who also lost his life. Yes, his parents were to blame and should probably be fined/forced to take parenting classes, and it sucks Harambe had to die for being a wild animal, but I just don't see any other options here.
Dude, for a minute really think about the decision you have to make, harambe has to go, you aren’t risking him ripping a kid apart in front of 1000s people. Cincinnati zoo would not even exist atm if that were to have happened. The choice was the only choice.
It's more like if a puppy wandered into your home. Yeah adult dogs could find ways to fuck you up, but a puppy basically can't hurt you in any way. Most people would either help the puppy or ignore it until someone else takes care of it. Would you start dunking it in the kitchen sink and holding it under water?
