Harambe, The Cincinnati Zoo & the Tales of Parenting
By now just about everyone has probably heard the tragic story of a little 4 year old boy climbing/falling into a gorilla exhibit in the Cincinnati Zoo, the zoo choosing to kill Harambe ( a 17 year old gorilla), and the outcry that has ensued. I wanted to take a few moments to share my thoughts. I realize to some the video incident looks like Harambe was trying to protect the child, however I’ve also heard reports that this gorilla was banging the child’s head against the concrete and throwing the toddler around. It was clear according to those who study animal behavior that the choice was either to kill the gorilla or to let the gorilla kill the child. Jack Hanna who is a celebrity for his years with gorillas even said on the Today Show, “ I can tell you now, that there's no doubt in my mind the child would not be here today if they hadn't made the decision," Hanna said.
