As a parent Raven knows how quick a toddler can be. You can lose sight of them in an instant.

And if Raven is brutally honest with himself, not only would he hate himself for failing his child but if it was in his power he would have rained down destruction upon that gorilla before he got near his child.

Why?

Because an unknown animal, even a semi domesticated one is an unknown equation. How many of us have pulled our child away from an unknown dog chained up outside a Woolies or Coles?

Mountain gorilla's have been known to kill infant gorillas.

Watching the way the boy was dragged by this gorilla, as a parent, Raven can totally accept the death of the gorilla.


All good points.

A couple of things need stressing:

1) Nicole's link to an experienced gorilla keeper informs us that the gorilla's behaviour in dragging the kid in sudden fast sprints through the water was symptomatic of the animal becoming highly distressed and on the offensive.

2) The screaming and movement of the watching crowd was possibly 100% what was upsetting the animal into a state of high agitation.

And therefore the behaviour of the crowd was partly responsible for the final outcome.







no herb.. it was the child being in his compound that caused the final outcome.

Don't you have ironing to do, or something?
