Harambe was living his usual day to day life when a 4 yr old child fell into his enclosure. This gorilla had never encountered anything like this before. He had been born in the zoo. Obviously this was a high alert situation and professionals were called in. In the "professionals"opinion, Harambe was shot dead to save the life of the 4 yr old male.
Harambe was doing what his instincts told him. In the footage available, he was not harming the child. In fact, 2 female gorillas were called back from the situation by zoo handlers. In previous situations of this nature it has shown female gorillas will protect the child/faller. Why were they called back?
Also you can question where this childs carers were at the time of the incident.
I call for them to be charged with manslaughter, as this defenceless animal had no idea what was happening. They were negligent at the least and this resulted in an endangered animal being shot.
