Interesting.
In the video, it looks like the gorilla is try ing to help or protect the boy.
The article says it dragged the boy around the enclosure for 10 minutes.
I can imagine the boy was terrified and screaming.
I wish there were more or better videos available of what really happened.
I think the gorilla WAS trying to protect him. But he was treating the boy like a young gorilla, and humans can’t take the same physical treatment that a gorilla can.
Don’t believe your lying eyes! Here’s one where the gorilla protected a kid from juvenile gorillas. Fortunately they didn’t shoot him or didn’t have enough time to shoot him.
