Ohio zoo kills gorilla to "protect small child" in enclosure
"Harambe". Western lowland Silver back.shot dead by staff |
Trigger happy bastards.
Tranquillisers would have been the best option if one were needed. A similar incident in the Durrel Wildlife Foundation Trust in 1986. Jambo the Silverback at the time did what gorillas do naturally and protected the 5 year old Levan Merritt from other gorillas until the boy was rescued.In these situations the Silverback is generally more protective than aggressive.
Jambo stood protectively over Levan, as he lay unconscious |
The staff at Cincinnati Zoo have killed a gorilla, an endangered species, with the American "shoot first" mentality.
Like I said, trigger happy bastards
