Killing of the Cincinnati Gorilla

by Marathadi-Saamiyaar Mon May 30, 2016 5:21 pm

- is it justified. Yes the gOrilla "lfited" the boy by his diaper. But it did not hit the baby or pushed and throw the baby around for quite some time. Obviously if it had threateded it would have harmed the boy.

The trigger happy guys just jumped the gun as the boy's parent can sue the Zoo while the gorilla cannot sue.

This is very similar to shooting a black under the presumption "it could have, would have, and should have" caused harm.

see this is what I like about you - it's quite evident you know more about what the gorilla was gonna do by watching a 20 sec clip on tv than ppl that work with animals for most of their lives. that sorta confidence is so rare and special.

PS: also are you equating "a black" with a gorilla?

It is the white folks who equate blacks with gOrilla - which prompted the idiots to shoot.

The gOrilla did not kill for some time and it did not feel threatened about the boy - not after 2-5 min. It was agitated by the spectators screaing and yelling. did you expect the groilla to climb the wall and hand deliver the boy ?

As long as the gOrilla did not kill, people will always claim the gOrilla could have and would have bullshyt. the basic psychology is "fear" it was afraid of the crowd and not the boy.

I am as right as the Khakhi uniformed buffoons. I say the animal would not have harmed the boy, they claim the animal would have. Did it kill ? no. Hence, I am right.

that's it. I retire to my bed in awe of your self confidence.

PS: since you're so confident in your armchair analysis, we should try sending you in there as an experiment and see if a 400 lb gorilla would perceive you a threat or not.

There are few more videos where the gorilla was dragging the boy in water (as per its own instinct and not knowing how to see that boy as threat to him or not). The more they would have waited, the animal would have got agitated (due to the noise/yelling of the visitors) and would have harmed the boy. It is a hard decision for the zoo officials. It seems they tried to direct gorillas to some other area/enclosure and few of them did and this one did not follow their command/direction.

YOu mean to say...other than the ones who are actually on the ground no one else should have an opinion or view. By that token every carnatic music critic or a cricket commentator and umpire must have performed in respective field.

What do you say about all those who also of the view the killing was unnecessary? Why didn't the security first clear the crowd and move them out ? and these so-called Animal experts did not know that an yelling and screaming crowd was not upsetting the gOrilla. In that case, I certainly am a better expert than those baffoons. Hell even that gOrilla is a better expert than the Zoo baffoons.

I blame gun control activists for this tragedy. Arming Harambe would've definitely saved his life, as it would've given him an opportunity to adequately defend himself.

A more realistic view: Arm all 3 yr olds with proper training before they step into any joo.

by Marathadi-Saamiyaar Mon May 30, 2016 10:20 pm

.....Exactly what I mentioned. See the CNN.com front page site for exact words: DID SCREAMS AGITATE GORILLA

The buffoons did not even clear the crowd. These animal exeperts dont even know the basic psychology of all mamals and they proclaimed that the gOrilla COULD have hurt the boy.

Why didn't they use a tranquilizer gun?

by MaxEntropy_Man Tue May 31, 2016 7:35 am

The blame for this's lies entirely with the parents. Apparently the boy had to overcome multiple barriers before he reached the enclosure. What on earth were they doing for that long a period of time. My guess -- cell phone distraction.

by Seva Lamberdar Tue May 31, 2016 8:37 am

Just goes to show that the wildlife is threatened not only because the humans are mass producing and taking over the habitat of other animals, but also due to the inability in taking care of their kids properly and responsibly.

by swapna Tue May 31, 2016 8:54 am

I wonder why one or both of the parents didn't jump into the moat to scare away or.confuse the gorilla for a few minutes until a rope could be thrown in.

by southindian Tue May 31, 2016 8:57 am

Did anyone realize that the caged animal here was the Gorilla who also got killed? Smile

The police should check cell phone records and if they were found to be on their cell precisely at that time, then the parents should be arrested for child neglect and abetting and endangering the life of a child.

If you read one of the reports the father did jump into the moat. The Gorilla saw him coming and cried "Thomas!" for help. On seeing you approaching to help the Gorilla, the father backed off.

.......Looks like Harambe has some people fighting for him.

The parents cell phone MUST be checked and if they were BSing away when the child slipped, throw them in the slammer. In fact, looking at the parents in Seva's link, if both parents had jumped into the moat, Harambe would have fled the zoo as he is no match for the two biggies.

Zoos usually have security cameras. Wonder if there was any footage, even a bystander's video, to see if there was real negligence by the parents. Apparently the mother was holding a baby and had two other kids with her when the boy fell. This gorilla was zoo-born and, at 17, in its prime as a silverback. Anyway I still think the parents were irresponsible. What was the dad doing during this?

He didn't fall in. He declared he would climb in and he did. If you read the detailed news reports, you'd see that from a witness who was standing next to the family.

how would you like it if a more advanced species from a planet far away comes to Earth and decides to take you away with them and puts you in a cage after which the people in the planet come to ogle at you every day?

by MaxEntropy_Man Wed Jun 01, 2016 8:08 am

Silverbacks are known to be caregivers for orphaned infants in gorilla societies. I wonder if Harambe thought of the little boy as an orphaned youngster. Hard to tell, but I think the zoo keepers made a difficult but right call.

I am against zoos for the same reason I don't like being incarcerated even if it is in a club fed type of prison.

Would it have treated the boy different had he been white?

I always wondered the following about ppl that say they're compassionate towards animals:

do they also feel the same way about eating animal/fish flesh? and how do they feel about being part of a society that's ever expanding and pushing animals into extinction?

Isn't that the case already -- the kid on TV news looks whitish and fairer than the parents (in the picture in the link posted earlier in the above)?

It was an overall bad situation, the gorilla might have harmed the boy even without intending to. The parents were negligent without a doubt. The enclosure was in place since the 70s and this is the first time someone breached it which kind of confirms the witness report that the boy willfully climbed in.

zoo officials also. if they had not acted and the gorilla pulled this kid apart, there would be blacklivesmatter protests and a few customary lootings at this place with al sharpton descending on the zoo demanding why there arent any black tigers and animal handlers. no win situation for the ppl running the place, all because of the stupidity of ppl that shouldnt be having kids.
