I got really...REALLY bored....
Kids should be patient! We are all excited for the new Gorillaz album, but jumping into a gorilla pit isn't going to get it!
Did the Zoo make the right call for killing that gorilla?
Yes they did make the right call, it was basically the gorilla or the kid. Yes I do understand that they are an endangered species and don't get me wrong, I love the animal just as much as the next person, but that little boy's life was in danger. I'm not sure if the gorilla dragging the kid around was a protective thing or not, but the gorilla was throwing him around like a rag doll and it was very clear that the boy could have easily been killed at any moment.Plus, in the moment the zoo's number one priority was the child's safety and getting him out of there as fast as possible so the zoo had to take intimidate action to get him out of there as fast as possible and that happened to be shooting the gorilla.It is a very tragic ending to the situation, but I still say they made the right decision.And as someone who has a young sibling and if I was in that situation, I would want them out as fast as possible, even if it meant shooting and killing the gorilla. This is just my honest opinion.
“I don't think the dialogue about Harambe should be about how gentle he was with the kid or that they were holding hands. The unedited video, now public, shows him dragging the child around, and it's terrifying. I think we're making a lot of assumptions with the current dialogue about how gentle he was. It makes us all look bad and uninformed. I'm so glad people are on side with the gorilla. I am too. But dramatizing his behaviour and making assumptions about his intentions is doesn't further the point that what happened was a shameful, preventable disaster. We have no idea what was going on in the mind of a gorilla who found himself with not only a child at his feet but chaos and screaming overhead. He may have been trying to protect the child, or he may have been planning to kill the child, or neither. Point being though the dialogue should be about the fact that Harambe shouldn't have been there at all, and same goes for the child. It's all a tragedy and a disgrace, regardless of Harambe's kindness or his intent, and at the very least I hope this tragedy offers yet another sobering look at the trouble with zoos and initiates real discussion and legislative change regarding zoo reform. Harambe should not have been there.”

When animals show more kindness than humans: Does this gorilla look like it is trying to harm this boy? Justifying human unsanity and lack of foresight - - - again. BACKLASH: Gorilla was 'trying to PROTECT' four-year-old boy at zoo before it was shot dead
