That would be funny...

Though simian observers will see that gorillas actually can be pretty decent — even more decent than people — most of the time. The things that they will get violent over are generally understood. I would have bet on Harambe being decent based on him actually saving the boy from the water (they called it “dragging him around” but it was with his head always above the water — just as though he were a gorilla cub), though again the sniper coverage would be required because we don’t know everything in the beast’s mind. But just summarily shooting him to get him out of the picture... that was overkill.

People panic, and that can be understood. And animals are property even though valuable property and ought to be treated kindly when possible. We can get more gorillas where Harambe came from.

we’ll have to agree to disagree on this. i never posted on the threads about it because it seemed some were pretty emotional over it. to me it was simple - the boy was in danger - remove danger. and it was a great shot..... danger removed.
