Such a sad sad story that happened yesterday at the Cincy a zoo. Apparently a 4 year old boy somehow managed to fall into the moat that seperates the gorillas and visitors, and Harambe got a hold of him and dragged him through the water, but in a nice gorilla way. After ten minutes of the boy not being harmed, they decided to use lethal force because they couldnt take the chance of the boy being killed. And they didnt use a tranq because for one it takes a few minutes to work and two the initial stinging of the tranq dart couldve made the situation worse.

I dont blame the zoo for this, they had to take the best odds to save the kid. The parents of the 4 year old though, I hope they feel immense amount of guilt of being crappy parents as Harambe's blood will forever be on them. I was just there earlier this month, and have a great picture of the big silverback looking at me. But no way should this have happened if the parents were paying attention to their kid. At 4 years old, the parent should either be holding him up or holding hands in the zoo. Let alone letting him get into a position to fall into the moat. Anyways I feel for the zookeepers there who had to go through all this.
