Foreign Affairs › Re: Right or Wrong? Gorilla Shot Dead In Zoo When Boy Fell Into His Area. by Explorers(op):
Chuksemi:
Sir.

Your first statement, is it a proven fact? If a gorilla doesn't harm you within 10 minutes of coming in contact with you and doesn't beat her chest. Does it mean we can then assume and be sure that we are 100% safe? That statement to me is just an assumption because no one was in Harambe's mind, she could as well be delaying what she wanted to do because of the on lookers. Maybe there were other reasons.

I do not support the killing of endangered animals on an ordinary day. But, I think Harambe's death was justified. This was clearly a case of human or animal life. Harambe may have unwillingly mauled the child. Did you notice the way the child was being dragged up and down. That is hard for a full grown adult, let alone, a child.

I think you are looking at a one sided possiblilty here. As much as the child may not have been killed immediately. That doesn't mean at the end he wouldn't be killed still. The tranquilisers that take immediate effect may not have been within reach then. Would you hinge your argument on the lack of those?

I saw your post on the lady that lost her eyes and hands to a chimpanzee rampage. I do not want to believe that it is only when things have gotten to that extent that the killing of an animal may be justified. Worse still, I do not want to believe that you have not considered the life of the child who was in the enclosure with a wild gorrila. I wonder, if people would have actually preferred the death of the child to the death of Harambe. God, we are talking human.


Sire, that child could be anyone's child, imagine it.
Actually am not placing the life of an animal over that of the child. The zoo authority did what was necessary, but why that long, what were they doing for 10 minutes? What if the boy has fallen into a lion, tiger, leopard, bear, or crocodile enclosure?
Few days back for the first time i visited a large and popular shopping facility in my area. I noticed the security in the facility, lots of emergency exits perfectly directed to safety, lots of fire pumps, hoses, extinguishers , fire and security alarms on the walls.
All ive mentioned are within few meters away from each other so that if there should be fire/explosion, attack, robbery, within 5seconds someone will hit the nearest alarm and in a minute people wil exit the building safely

Zoos can be like that, why would they give us an excuse that darts or tranquilizers are not available or far away?
There should be atleast 2-3 trained shooters always in position at any moment with the tranquilizers very close. Most especially the areas they have lions, tiger, leopard, other big cats and bears. They can escape accidentally or sometimes people's stupidity. Nigeria mothers that are zoo goers will hold there kids firmly, but i learnt this boy said he wanted to swim with the the gorilla and he entered somehow.

Chuksemi:
Sire, asides animal rights and everything. I want to understand why does who are calling for the zoo and parents head are doing it.

Please, is there any proven scientific research that says if a gorilla doesn't harm you within 10 minutes, then it will never harm you?

Probably, the darts that were able to tranquilise immediately were not available. The Zoo was faced with, human life or animal life? They chose animal life, I don't get the outrage. It's not like they went on a shooting spree and decided to kill Harambe. I saw the video on CNN, the way the Gorilla was dragging and pushing the child with feeble bones, in an enclosure filled with rocks. What if the child's head had come in contact with one of the rocks? With that force it will be instant death.

I don't want to believe that humanity is driving towards an era where animal life would be valued more than that of a human. Even humans are killed when it is necessary, talk more of an animal. In all these, it seems the 'justice for Harambe' agitators are not even considering the possiblity that a human child may have died in the process. I wonder if the poor child had died, would it have sparked media outrage like the death of Harambe did?

You mentioned trying to distract the gorilla, what if that hadn't worked and the child paid the ultimate price instead. Let's be open and consider every possiblilty here. I would love to hear from you, thank you.
You've spoken bro.

8. Zheng Dong was taking pictures of a bunch of macaque monkeys at the Fuzhou Zoo in China when one of the wily monkeys snatched his phone away. Zheng jumped the fence to retrieve the phone when three of the monkeys surrounded him and scratched at him until several zookeepers came to his rescue and removed him from the cage. While Dong made it out alive, his cell phone was chewed up beyond repair. Instead of thanking the zookeepers profusely for saving him from being eaten by a bunch of monkeys, he sought compensation from the zoo for a new phone.

4. Polar bear attacks woman who climbed into zoo enclosure, Berlin.


she jumped from the wall into a moat and swam up to a group of polar bears willingly.
Onlookers say she even looked excited as she swam up to one of the behemoth bears. Yeah, so the polar bears mauled the hell out of her. In fact, afterward, she changed her mind and started shouting for someone toget her out the moat, the bears continued to pursue the intruder, tearing her from the rescue rings thrown by zookeepers to try and remove her to safety. She was eventually hoisted to safety and underwent surgery to repair the damage done by giant bear bites.

3. Kung Fu with Lion.


In 1989, 32-year-old Australian man Ellie Quo decided to seek out a martial arts matchup that would test his awesome new skills in Kung Fu. Told by his instructor that he had reached a level in his training where "you can kill wild animals with your bare hands," the misguided student decided to follow his instructor’s words to the letter and sought a fight with a lion at the Melbourne Zoo. In the middle of the night, he snuck into the zoo and in true ninja stealth style, scaled the lion enclosure and surveyed the pen to see which of the mighty warriors would die by his hands. Thing is, there were a whole lot of lions to choose from, and rather than let this one tiny scrap of human get in a single punch, they all ganged up on the guy and ripped him to shreds. Literally. The next morning, zoo keepers found Quo’s fists of fury and nothing more in the lions’ enclosure. In his cold, dead hands were tufts of red fur, proving that gingers in the animal kingdom do in fact have souls (because they eat them).

2. The drunk man who was killed after jumping into a tiger enclosure.


A man was killed by an endangered tiger after jumping into its moat at an Indian zoo. The 22 year old man, Maqsood, is said to have been under the influence of alcohol when he climbed into a white tiger enclosure in Dehli. Witnesses say he entered the area despite several attempts by zoo security to keep him away from the tigers. Once inside the enclosure, the tiger grabbed him by the neck, dragged him around as terrified onlookers began throwing sticks and stones at the animal to try to save him. Authorities eventually frightened the tiger into a smallcage. The man, whose body remained in the outdoor enclosure two hours after the attack, was dead by the time help reached him.

1. The film editor who was killed by a lioness while on safari in Africa.



Katherine Chappell, a special effects editor on Game Of Thrones, was killed by a lion while on safari in South Africa. She was just 29 years old. Chappell was in South Africa to raise money for a charitable organization but was killed during a ride through a safari park. As she tried to take photos, a lion jumped through an open window and killed her.The tour guide, Pierre Potgieter, is opening up about the horrific accident and insists that he and Katherine were not driving with the windows down. Rather, she rolled hers down at the last minute to take a photograph when the lion attacked. “The tourist had a camera and, of her own accord, rolled down the passenger window to take photographs. A lion then attacked the tourist through the open window,” Mrs. Potgieter, Pierre's wife, said. “Mr. Potgieter tried to fend the lioness off and in the process sustained injuries to the arm.” When the lion finally backed off, Pierre tried to stop Katherine's profuse bleeding, but it was too late she passed away while paramedics were treating her. Pierre reportedly suffered a heart attack during or after the scary ordeal.

Animals, no matter how tame or domesticated they may seem are still animals and just like the Steppenwolf song that goes “like a true nature’s child we were born, born to be wild”, animals are, yes, born to be wild. When they are agitated, hungry, or scared they go back to the very essence of what makes them animals the animal instinct, the instinct to survive no matter the cost. Here we have a list of animals mauling people accidentally or due to their stupidity.


Zoo goers, lovers beware..

Foreign Affairs › Re: Right or Wrong? Gorilla Shot Dead In Zoo When Boy Fell Into His Area. by Explorers(op): 3:48am On Jun 01, 2016
Roland17:
Unlike their male counterparts, female gorillas are renowned to be very protective and have the unique intelligence of deciphering young ones especially mammal looking species, males on the other hand are quite territorial and in many instances have harmed their younger ones especially younger males.

No one should understand estimate the strength of a Gorilla either, however, if the Gorilla was going to harm or kill the baby, it would have been immediately it came in contact, reaction is usually impulsive as a means of defense, anything longer after two minutes for a female Gorilla becomes emotional.

It questions the amount of knowledge Zoo officials have about the animals enslaved in their facilities, Harambe was an endangered female adult (17 years), there were numerous means to have distracted her from the child, i am not even talking of utilizing a tranquilizer, worth more a deadly gun and if using a gun was the last resort, why shot to kill? why not shoot to immobilize? the options were numerous, however, they went for the fastest because officials panicked.

I would reiterate once more, that i would rather watch endangered species extinct in the freedom of the wild where they belong than in captivity.

I have never been a fan of Zoo's and this incident makes it even worse.
[b][/b]


Someone stated that a gorilla that will harm will beat the chest, he said harambe didn't. What were they even doing for 10mins?

Support the last statement, i hate zoos or wild parks. Will rather see museum or historical sites.
