olu4life:
According to the report and video, the scene lasted for 10mins. I believe if the gorilla wanted to kill, wouldn't have taken up to a minute.

I saw that too and i believe 10mins is too long for the gorilla to kill/harm the boy.

Witnesses said the gorilla looked like he was trying to protect the boy from panicked bystanders (pictured)

For those asking bout tranquilizer, according to the defense team of the zoo, it takes around 5 min for the tranq to take effect and if shoot the gorilla becomes restless till it kicks in, and that would be risky for the little boy

I read there are newly developed ones that takes effect immediately after impact.

Tranquilizers should always be available at different locations few meters away from one another incase of a situation like this.

Wow! People can be such pansies sometimes... Digging up past history just to show the parents aren't fit to be parents, thereby justifying whatever their crazy mind want justified.

Can you just imagine, i dont just get what the past has to do with this.

Deonne Dickerson and Michelle Gregg are the parents of the four-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure housing Harambe on Saturday at Cincinnati Zoo.

It was revealed that criminal filings against Dickerson(Father) stretch over a decade and include burglary, firearms offences, drug trafficking, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and kidnap.

ShaqFu:
But what if the gorilla had killed the boy? I'm quite sure these bozos wouldn't be carrying placard, but instead, hauling blame on the boys parents.

Its quite almost a shame that these people now place the life of a gorilla over a human life.

If you check those comments i posted you will notice people are blaming the parents for not keeping eyes on their kid. But some are saying the zoo keepers should have used tranquilizer instead of a gun.

Harambe's death has sparked an outcry of emotion, with thousands of mourners branding it a 'senseless death'(Monday Vigil).

Some blamed the zoo for its response and questioned whether the exhibit should have been surrounded by more secure barriers.

The zoo's Gorilla World has been closed since Saturday, but authorities are hoping to reopen by next weekend. Flowers and commemorative notes were also left outside the zoo.

*. Meanwhile in some countries far away, 1 or 2 innocent men, women, children are killed/assaulted/abused daily, denied their rights in their fatherland and no one is moving a finger.

University of New England animal behaviour expert Professor Gisela Kaplan.

Children weren't normally a threat according to Prof Kaplan, who said dominant gorillas like Harambe were protectors of their group and that the primate would have been investigating the strange new situation. 'The silverback would’ve understood that it was a defenceless small child. They would not normally attack, they are not an aggressive species (and) in the wild I’m certain the boy wouldn’t have been killed,' she said.'If he was going to attack he would’ve warned him first. The first thing they do is charge and beat their chests and as far as I know that didn’t happen.' Bondi Vet Dr Chris Brown has also spoken out about the gorilla's death, suggesting in a Facebook post there could have been other ways to dealwith the situation which wouldn't have resulted in killing the animal.'The killing of 17 year old gorilla Harambe after a four-year-old boy fell into his enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo has left many of you asking whether such a drastic move was really necessary...?

Footage taken from another visitor shows the gorilla grabbing on to the boy's shirt. Many are placing the blame squarely on the parents of a four-year-old boy, who investigators believe crawled through a railing barrier.

An animal behaviour expert believes Harambe the gorilla, who was shot dead when a four-year-old boy fell into his zoo enclosure, was 'investigating, not attacking' the child, which it understood was 'defenceless'.The 180kg, critically endangered western lowland gorilla, was killed by officials at Cincinnati Zoo in the U.S. just one day after his 17th birthday after the boy climbed through barriers and fell 4.5 metres into the enclosure on Saturday.

*. Cincinatti Zoo staff shot Harambe after he dragged the boy through the water, but many say he was simply trying to protect the child.

The mosquito coil part is spot on. I remember when i used one in my room when i was sleeping only to wake minutes later to feeling like i was being choked. I sharply ran out to receive fresh Air. I never used mosquito coil in my room or near my bed.

When using mosquitoe sprays or coils, you leave the room for about an hour before coming back in. Sleeping in a room with burning coil is dangerous.
