And actually some zoos hide chicken wire, chain link fence, etc. behind things like a thicket of bushes, so it wouldn’t even have to show in order to keep most would-be intruders out of direct view pens — it isn’t just a moat whose near edge isn’t even in view. The boy would have had to try a lot harder, his Tarzan dreams would have had to wait. That was a bad exhibit design. This is doubtlessly going to be wrangled in court.
I am sure if the gorilla had been named Worthington Smythe, III, rather than Harambe, he would not have been shot.
Exactly my point...
This is a tragic accident. But the almost human gaze in his eyes and his position sitting on the ground is most unnerving. I’ve sat in a similar position before campfire....
But the parents just waited around for someone to do something? I guarantee if that was my 3 year old I’d go straight into that cage.
I have to agree with you. I would have been in there trying to save my kid.
Love me some gorilla pants like that.
“Harambe”
That’s an odd name. I wonder what it means.
It looks similar to Hamarabi or haram.
On that we are agreed!
Yep - if we could harness that sort of rage against abortion, Roe vs. Wade would be an embarrassment stuffed in a file drawer instead of the "law of the land".
I can empathize with the mother -at 4, I would have been impossible to be fully kept track of - she seems to know God too.
