you maybe...n ot me....

seeing that child dragged over the water made me realise what a monumental decision they had to make......

its sad you can find a reason to mock this...when you look at that animal... and think he is dead because some stupid parent couldnt look out for his child...

pizzzzzzzzzes me off to be honest. Angry

Yes ... this woman in June last year.

Yes indeed. I've seen miles of video footage where the passengers don't want the windows in the way of a good 'photo opportunity'. They are all over YouTube.

AiA I am sure Jane is right.. however she did say\\"she thought" that was what the animal was doing..

and we dont know do we....the fact is the male almost never looks after the baby...its what the female does....

he was a magnificent silverback....

I think America should let it go...no blame!

just imagine what decision would have to be made had he killed that child..

Imagine if the sniper missed the gorilla, and hit the kid.

Imagine if the dead gorilla fell onto the child.

thats why they didnt sedate him..

I believe they were watching everything as best they could.. no one could predict what he would do..and they did what was best at that moment in time...

Jane Goodall: Slain Zoo Gorilla Was ‘Putting an Arm Round the Child

http://time.com/4353115/jane-goodall-gorilla-harambe-cincinnati-zoo/

Jane Goodall is full of sh!t. She's gone well past her Use By Date.

She did a short stint with some gorillas in Africa and ever since has posed as THE authority on everything to do with apes.

Her research encompassed only a very narrow band of ape behaviour that had nothing to do with gorillas in captivity.

Just measuring it to see if it would fit in its stomach. Wink

are gorillas carnivores?

Nice one, cods.

Herbivores, as far as I know.

They might eat the odd bug here and there, but I doubt they'd eat a human child.

Anyway, why is there no footage of the rescue?

Every person in the zoo would have had a camera/phone with them, yet the only footage we've seen is the minute or so of the kid being dragged around.

Yep. And ummm I still can't believe this topic is going. Get over it folks. The gorilla is dead. The kid is safe. Move on. Yes?

They're omnivores....just like all of us (excluding Greens) Grin
