- The Cincinnati Zoo sparked outrage for killing an endangered gorilla after a four-year-old boy made it past a barrier and into an enclosure 15 feet below. The zoo says the boy was dragged and thrown before the 450-pound gorilla was shot and killed. Jack Hanna, the director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium joins "CBS This Morning" to explain why he agrees with the zoo's decision and takeaways from the incident.

I had to drag my kid out of the grocery like that once before.
Ruben Perez because you’re gorilla
Did they shoot you?
@@Jack-nj4gr lol
Ur funny i like u
because he wants to buy chocalate
This was a lose lose situation. If they would have just tagged him and waited and the boy died, then the outrage would be that they left the boy and didn't save him. At this point people find anything to complain about. Lets focus our attention where it belongs, on the fact that people need to put their damn phones down and watch their kids!!
+daarrkmatter +daarrkmatter they dont often. There is a chance the gorilla will because it is startled. The Cincinnati Zoo didn't want to take the small chance that the gorilla might attack the child and therefore killed the gorilla. The boy was also dragged and thrown. Just know that
there's more white people on welfare than any other race.
+KCAssassin98 that's logical. there's more white people in America than any other race. are you implying that you don't expect white people to be poor?
Zeezke99 he is assuming because the mother was black that she was a welfare queen.
Lori Hackney you honestly think in such a high pressure situation the zookeepers were thinking about race? besides whites play the victim card more than black people do these days so I doubt there would be a race war.
Steve Erwin would have jumped into that enclosure and saved the day.
If He was still alive.

I agree with Jack Hanna 1000%, but I just wish they could have killed Harambe with something other than a flamethrower.

The zoo should've made a child getting into an enclosure impossible
NeverWrongg even if they made a high baracade or their was a high baracade it’s the parents fault for letting the child even get that close to the edge to be able to fall in
Precisely!
Parents fault
Parents should watch their damn kids
Your child=your responsibility.
but but all the internet experts know better
What the fuck does jack Hanna know? Just a poor mans Crocodile Dundee. Good day mate!!!!
+___ Oh god another peta freak, if you think animal life comes before human life than maybe you should go live in the zoo with your buddies and see how aggressive they can be.
+renaissancemen1 Stop
+Daniel Gonzalez no, you stop! This is the same guy who said the whales at Sea World were fine. The guy has no credibility.
+renaissancemen1 No u
He's absolutely right. If they would have tranquilized that gorilla, it might have made him aggressive towards that little boy.
This could have easily been prevented if the parents of this child were watching him.
Now a boy is traumatized and a beautiful creature is dead
Buttcheeks Mcgee this the only comment with sense
What a dumb thing to say
WE ALL LOVE HAREMBA
It is the ZOO's fault not the parents'.
The ZOO failed miserably at the Health and Safety of the small visitors, I mean big time fail.
no one cares about the boy
It is indeed a tragedy. The life lost is a major malfunction. Imagine if you will the Gorilla pulling the child's arm off. Arterial blood would quickly drain the boys life away. Then the critiques would be yammering. "You should have shot the gorilla." Hard but necessary choice. Faulting the Mother does not fly. It was an accident, pure and simple. The boy lives. Think if it were your son....Justice in this country is not a voteable issue; unless you are on the jury. The rants against the Mom is nothing but a LYNCH mob! Thank God the boy was not killed or seriously injured. The Gorilla is now safe and forever released from his prison. Now if it were The Hillary that fell in I would say, "Save the gorilla."
But everything these days is a lynch mob. You hear something on the news and immediately you want someone to pay for it. You yourself have formed an internal lynch mob against "The Hillary" for crimes that you think she may have committed... I thought justice was not a voteable issue? We all vote with our opinions, every day. And if we think someone is guilty, in our minds they are guilty. You think Hillary is guilty of something - I happen to agree, she probably is. But neither one of us has any proof? Doesn't stop us from forming opinions, though. If somebody you trusted told you your next door neighbor was a child molester, you'd probably start up a lynch mob, right? If your "gut instinct" told you that the guy following you down a dark alley was trying to rob you, you'd probably prepare to defend yourself, right? Well my gut instinct is telling me that the parent and/or parents / legal guardians of this child were not paying attention to their child at the time of this incident. Maybe I'm wrong...? And maybe we're also wrong about Hillary. But probably not.
+Just anobody
I'd rather shoot Hillary than any other animal.
that might have been a major blunder on the moms part.. but any parent knows their kid's going to get out of your hands once or twice and do something you don't want him to do. maybe not to this degree, but still. my biggest question is why a human can enter the enclosure through any means besides for care of the animal.
an endangered species's life is more important than one of 7 billion humans.
Andrew Deyoe Not if you adhere to a civilize society. I would not make a dicision that a human would die to save an animal. I am very protective of animals. Fortunately I was not forced to make this ecision. Jack Hanna, knows what of he speaks. It is unfortunate that the animal was killed. My understanding it grew up, pretty much in a family environment until 2014.. Kinda like the movie, :"Sophie's Choice".
Imagine your first memory being falling into an endangered silverback’s cage and having it play with you and drag you through the water moments before it died. That’s just insane to me.
At least its not his last memory
Imagine your grammar is perfect and imagine that you're smart. That's just impossible for you.
This isn't english class stfu
Imagine not crawling into a gorilla cage or my mother watching me
@@MontblancNorand imagine thinking everyone in this world is native english speaker
I bet all the people saying the Gorilla was't hostile and shouldn't have been killed would NEVER jump into that pit. Ever. And if you disagree with me, jump in.
lmfao 🙌
Well no shit no one would voluntarily jump into a pit with a gorilla, wtf does these even mean? This could have been avoided rather easily, watch your fucking kids and we don't have to cross one more gorilla off the already dwindling list of the species
Jack McGowan get offended.
Except the kid shouldn't have been in the pit. No one should and that's quite obvious yet the mom let her kid climb in there unmonitored. That's the issue here. Sure, maybe killing the gorilla was ethical but it wouldn't have to be killed if the dumbass mother watched her kid for two seconds
+Django Freeman he's not offended, he's making a point...
Human species: over 7 Billion
Gorrilas: endangered
See what I'm getting at over here?
Are you saying we should have let natural selection run it's course and thin the herd a little? If that was the case we should have thrown the parents in and let them fight it out. lol
so...You're saying a human child should've been killed
Moises Herrera yes, I think that's the joke he was trying to make,.
SentByHim You're pic scares me more then the video
Moises Herrera lol :)
That mother caused this she doesn't deserve a child
She shouldn't have HAD a child, but the child shouldn't be punished because of her. Any human life is worth more than any animals.
The irony of this is she was probably irresponsible enough to get pregnant by mistake in the first place.
Who are you to decide who and who doenst deseve kids, all parents make mistakes , evryparent in this wolrd has left their kid unattend and slmething bad happen, no one is perfect in this case the consequences where more grave by chance but we all humans we all make mistakes.
"She doesn't deserve a child"
Accidents happen. Hop off of your high horse.
Its a gorilla. If it was tranquilized, the gorilla would've became more aggressive and killed the kid.
Who are you to say she doesn't deserve a child? What happens if the child just ran off?
+Mian Mir you're correct. Accidents do happen. One of those accidents was this lady getting pregnant and having this moron of a child.
I feel bad for the person that had to kill him. Damn parents have no right to have kids if they can't watch them.
It’s difficult to judge since I wasn’t there. Sometimes tragedies can happen even when people do everything correctly.
Accidents happen
But remember a zoo holds wild animals what if it were the lions den or an even more dangerous animal ! The boy wouldn’t have stood a chance!
@@devonanderson6280 sure but like- your own child 👩🦯
@@paradisesomeday6630 He really set himself up for that one didn't he lol
I don't think anyone disputes the child's safety first but it was completely irresponsible of the parent to have let this happen. At any moment anyone can "accidentally/purposefully wander" in to an enclosure but if we choose to act as a responsible adult this beautiful silver back would still be alive.
Get off your high horse.
She was taking care of more than one kid. She's supposed to focus on that one only?
+Ahmed Yusuf no excuse she should have her children taken away. she clearly can not handle the simple task of parenting.
+tscarable ok....I need you to do a favor for me. I need you to take this mega L for saying "the simple task of parenting". Smh who raised you? Parenting? Simple? LLLLLLLL
do you even know the full situation to just jump to conclusions?
If I was a parent, wouldn't I jump in there too despite it being a dangerous situation?
No if she jumped in harambe would have been scared
so a guy who is paid by zoos said it was ok to kill the ape...they are desperate now, just arrest the parents and get it over with, parent need to be responsible for their childrens action, whether they had a bunch or not, if you cant watch them all dont take them to dangerous places. I am sick of parents letting everyone else take the blame for the kids bad behavior, when I was growing up if i did something bad and it cost money, my parents had to pay for it. I think the parents should have to pay the zoo for the ape.
It's obvious you are not aware of who Jack Hanna is and that's okay. He's much more than a spokesperson for a zoo. The man is obviously aged, he's done much more in his lifetime than simply being in Columbus. I've met him, spoken to him, he's an absolutely incredible guy! Now, what I'd like to hear is the parents and as to why they were blatantly ignoring a child.
+WanderingOldSoul hes the director of a zoo so obviously he would agree on the decision.
michael d He is the director of the Columbus Zoo *now*. I live here, I've met the man, I've sat with him and discussed his earlier years when he was an American version of Steve Irwin travelling the world and saving thousands upon thousands of lives of other animals. Any professional in the field of animals would have agreed with the decision to end the gorilla's life. As wrong as it is to end an animal's life due to a human's negligence, it is what is looked at as the "right move" in today's society. I hate that all these people are jumping on Jack Hanna and other representatives of the zoos. Jack Hanna is not connected to the Cincinnati Zoo, but he is a well known, respected animal activist and professional that the public would listen to more intently than if a unknown "spokesman" of the Cinci Zoo came up on national news. What choice did these people have? Either kill an animal that unfortunately society looks at as a less important individual than a human being or let the child be brutally beaten in front of hundreds of children and parents as they stood and watched with the child's mother. I mean, c'mon.
What I said. The parents should have been sued for the loss of the ape
So people are arguing human life vs. animal life? Is this even a debate?
To normal people no, to the more idiotic internet denizens and vegans yes
+Ares Krieger no. people who care about animals
Liberals..... they embrace all that is wrong and evil on Planet Earth.
Here's a question for you - if you had accidently fallen beside an infant Gorilla with the mother nearby, what do you think she would have done? Do you think she would have paused and said "well, a human life is worth as much as my infants..." or do you think she would have turned you into playdough? The zoo did EXACTLY what she would have done if the situation had been reversed.
+Kevin Luongo Pretty simple
I've worked at a zoo and people with their children can sometimes act positively STUPID AND IRRESPONSIBLE
Exactly. Amen.
Good thing we forced an animal into a zoo and then shot it when a human went in to its cage...
Things that make you go hmmmmm.....
you're a special kind of stupid
+skinsman82000 ignorant
That's my point exactly. If it can't be in the wild then it's not repopulating. Real repopulating is raising a animal in a wild like environment with no human interaction. Once they are old enough they release them and keep track so if they get killed they will know exactly what happened. This is not repopulating it is enslavement for human pleasure and curiosity.

@kebab REMOVER and?

How about the Needless Killing of a Magnificent Animal, Due to the "LACK of Parenting Skills"??
The gorilla made it to where someone could get the little boy. The gorilla, whether male or female, has parental instincts. He knew how to help that cute little boy. I wish they hadn't killed the gorilla.
He just explained why they had to kill the damn gorilla and people are still saying dumb shit lmao , If the kid wouldve died , People would be quick to say "WELL WHY DIDNT YALL SHOOT IT !!! " smh.. . the right decision was made .
Sadly, I agree with the Cincinnati's Zoo decision to kill the gorilla and not tranquilize it. There seems to be so much anger against the mother. Unless you were there then none of us know the circumstances of how this child got away from it mother and climbed past the barrier into the enclosure. As a mom, I know that sometimes no matter how much you watch your children things can happen and everyone is human which means no one is perfect. Based on some reports I have heard the mother was yelling at the child to get back and the child responded with a "No". Sounds to me like the child is disobedient and perhaps that may be the fault of bad parenting. Who knows for sure. It's a tragic situation all around and I'm damn sure that kid will think twice before leaving his mom's side again. Sad story all around for the gorilla, the zoo and the child's family. There are no winners here but I do wish people would not wage a campaign against the mother.
I agree. I can't believe the threats the mother is getting over this. A decision had to be made in a split second. If the zoo decided to tranquilize instead of killing the gorilla and the gorilla, in anger, killed the child then all the hatred would be at the Zoo. It is definitely a lose - lose situation. Hard to believe that people would target so much anger and animosity towards a woman that don't even know. Good thing stoning is illegal. On second thought, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones......................
+ZilchFan66 if you saw the video fully he said it would take 10 or more mins to tranquilizer to work
Javon Clement I am not arguing that at all. I am saying that tranquilizing the gorilla would have probably been the wrong choice because it would not knock it out right away and would take time (10 mins). All I'm saying is that people are mad that the gorilla was shot to save a child BUT if the gorilla was tranquilized and killed the child before it went unconscious then everyone would be mad at the Zoo for not shooting the gorilla. Thus the lose lose situation. I think the zoo did the right thing but no matter what unless we were there and witnessed it can we know who to pin the blame on.
Oh my bad i replied to the wrong comment lol
Javon Clement That's okay :)
What has been done cannot be undone but there should be accountability for the parents.
Harambae was just protecting the child because he thought the crowd of Karen's were trying to harm the 4 year old
Shut down all the zoos. Animals were not meant to be in captivity.
The kid mistaked the gorrilla for his parents.
People like to get outraged - This incident was one of the earlier mass outrage scenarios where a person or business was blasted for something that wasn’t entirely their fault - And since then our society has taken the outrage to a new level.
1st we need to know how the kid even got into the cage, then talk about the mom
are you kidding??? the mom should be watching her kid. it's her responsibility in the end!!!

Yet he met his doom.
But why iss child’s life more important than a gorilla
Anyone with kids knows that a little one can run around a corner and disappear for a moment in a blink of an eye... that could happen to anyone.. so hard to blame the parents 100%. But... this is a sad story on all sides. Tragic for the animal.
I agree
Harambe's behavior was very delicate and thoughtful if you have half a working brain to analyze it's behavior. It first tried to pull the kids leg to move him to another location (just as how he would do with a baby gorilla). After the first dragging, it reevaluates wondering if pulling the leg is hurting the kid. So he proceeds to checking his arms (very delicately), and realizes that it would be even weaker. So then it proceeds to checking his clothes (people often mistakes this action as pulling his pants up), and it realizes that probably pulling from his pants wouldn't hurt the kid. The next time we see it dragging the kid to another location, Harambe is not grabbing from the kid's limbs anymore, it only pulls the kid from the pants. The last minute before he was shot, the kid and the gorilla were sitting peacefully outside the ditch in a dry surface. The kid was sitting between the gorilla's leg.

Not every zoo, but children should be take good care in. Its like trains, super safe, but if you want to get out, you can.
i used to literally grab animals and wrestle with them, climb gates, dig holes under the fence of my families yard, play sleep then go do bad things, leave on the tv on, take stuff apart and put it back together, sneak out into the neighborhood, and much more my grandparents literally started putting a kid lease on me to keep from taking off, its not just about being a good parent some people are driven more by curiosity than others and will go to any length for the experience, now here i am first of my low class family to go to college, first to travel across the country, first to leave the country, first to go on an nature expedition, i’ll starve myself for weeks just to take a trip.

They did the best they could in making a decision quickly. To me, it didn't look like the gorilla would hurt the child, but what if he had. Everyone would be yelling that the authorities should have killed him before he killed the child. It was a no win situation. Thank God the boy is doing well.
They keep showing the gorilla sitting there with the kid, not the part where it's dragging the kid around.
+Little Bear
Very true. Good analogy.
Its funny how you guys only ask "what if he hurt him" and not even consider, for one second, "what if he didn't hurt him?" Many gorillas or animals like that are very parental or protective over their younglings. If that gorilla really wanted to hurt the child, why did he protect him?
Its funny because whenever someone, supposedly like you, ask what if he had, you act upon it as if it had already happened? It isn't like a robbers instinct like "give me the money or I shoot the girl" incident. That probably was the quickest response, but was it the most logical? Better yet, was it even a fair response?
This comment has my approval
I agree that a decision had to be made and saving a human life over a animals life is always first priority but it's still unbelievably upsetting that a beautiful and endangered Gorilla was murdered because of bad parenting.
Yeah and just endangered, but critically endangered.. which is the most severe denomination next to global extinction.
The gorilla was killed because zoos exist. Ban zoos.
"No breaches ever dating back to the 1970s"....the parents displayed a level of incompetence that no other parents did over the course of 40 years and BILLIONS of visits. These parents should be charged.
at first i thought maybe he was sitting on a ledge with his mothers help. but no. he was able to wiggle and flop past the low wall, charge the bushes and jumped into the cage. within seconds. the bystanders couldnt even grab him. (and they tried) im sorry but the first wall should at least be toddler proof.

I'd we didn't have them in zoos they'd all die. check out the habitat size they have to live in. it's only a few miles and quickly growing smaller. that in addition to poaching.
natrual selection
Jonah Husak good point, im sure they are well taken care of and gorillas have a cool compound there to hang out on. Main point is if there is any blame if should be on the Parents/Kids stupidity, their accident cost a Gorilla its life. But the right decision was made. There should be a Ranger/Game Warden on site with lethal and non lethal options on command, so you dont have to call the fire dept wtf. All but one gorilla obeyed and came inside. At first I thought the one Gorilla was protecting the kid, which he might have been doing..But that soon turned into what looked like to be the Gorilla claiming the child as his own possession. At that point action needed to be taken, like Jack said the Gorillas strength is incredible and he could easily hurt the kid severely intentionally or not. The child was lucky it was Gorillas, they for most part react well with humans. My Biology professor in college said if you had choice to be in a cage with chimpanzees, orangutans, or gorillas. Chose the Gorillas, because those are the only ones that might NOT kill you
Nooo why would we ever value human life over animals , smh
At least we can all agree a life was lost, I feel sad for that kid having to live after all of that
For one, the boys parents need to be arrested for neglect and child endangerment. This is tantamount to losing sight of your child while they were playing outside only to have them chase a ball into the middle of traffic and getting hit by a car. Secondly, there are fast acting tranquilizers that the Zoo should have had in stock. Lastly where was the person in charge of the Gorilla Enclosure?
There is no justification of this situation. It could have and should have been prevented.
why are people complaining? we dont even value human life as well as animal life in this world!
A child's life is more important than a gorilla's life, if anyone says anything different then they are crazy, or they have their values all twisted and need help!
I agree
true!!
+Thomas Kearney cause you can read its mind right?? Gtf
I believe they are worth equally.
+Mina Rubio you don't really believe that.
I would like the zoo to explain how they were able to shoot the gorilla without harming the child, if the idiotic child was being man handled and held by the gorilla.
I mean for them to have shot the gorilla without endangering the child, the child must have not been in the gorilla's presence or immediate vicinity at the time it was shot. Or they basically took a lucky chance and shot at the gorilla while the child was still near it, so at the same time murdering the gorilla and endangering the child even more.
I find it was unnecessary to have killed the endangered gorilla, unless the zoo would like to admit they did shoot at the gorilla as well as at the child during this event.
shooting the gorilla immediately allows the boy to be rescued. You seem to believe that this is a cartoon where a single dart instantly puts a 300 pound animal to sleep. a dart takes time, which in this dangerous situation is costly.
Darts take a while and I'm sure that it wasn't just a potshot taken at the gorilla. They probably took a long time lining up the shot and making sure they wouldn't hit the kid.
They have sharpshooters
its called being a trained shooter you fucking dumbass
Hypothetically speaking: if both the gorilla and the boy were drowning and you only had time to save one, I hope you would save the boy. And that is what they did.
...
You humans are selfish
Nah, natural selection. Cope harder
Speak for yourself. I would easily save the gorilla first unless I cared for or am related to the child.
That's what you Equate this to?
Gimme a Break.
What parent leaves and not monitor their son. These parents deserve the worst parent award
It’s almost like the baby killed Harambe.
I am a Grandmother of two Children . I also had two Children of my own . I have thought about all the Times my own Mom would take us Children to the L.A. Zoo back in the day . I can attest to the fact she never lost us or had us wandering in the Gorilla enclosure or Lion's Den .I also think today the enclosures at the Zoo offer more protection. We live in a society that is so preoccupied (cell phone, selfies, etc )that we forget what is going on around us . Just a guess...the Gorilla Enclosure looks high up and you look down into it . Maybe the Mom lifted her Son up to the railing so her Son could get a better look, and got distracted with another child, cell phone, whatever, and the child fell or slid down all the way into the enclosure. It obviously wasn't the Zoo's or the Gorilla's fault that the kid ended up there. But , he did ! And, the decision had to be made quickly. The people at the Zoo did what had to be done in order to save a Human Life. We grieve over the Loss of a Beautiful Magnificent Gorilla, but I would like to think we would be more grieved if the little Boy lost his life in there.
i dont want to argue cause your words are true so true
Although I don’t want to agree with this I have to because you are speaking the truth and so sweetly do wish that the parent was looking after her child because then no lives would have been lost 😞
You're not a good grandma, you'd probably let kids fall & bust their heads . My mother would never
@@theresashaw5027 Shut your Marilyn Manson and Cher had a baby lookin self up. You don't know this woman. She seems like a smart level headed person.
couldn't have said it better myself 👏🏾
At first I thought this was the guy from crocodile Dundee
That's not a knife!
oh shit its not?
+Hang In There at least I don't think it is, lol
I have been a huge fan of jacks for most of my life I am so glad you got him to speak
he is probably the most qualified man on this planet
Anyone saying that the parent should be punished has probably never actually watched a child. The mother had her eye off the child for one quick second and a four year old child fell in. The zoo needs to make the wall high enough so that a four year old child could not fall in.
As a sister of two lil kids i can't believe the lack of empathy against a child in the comment section :l if it was your children or even your brother/cousin you'll be crying your ass out
There is abundant empathy, but for Harambe. This is understandable, as gorillas are near-human. Plus, they are gentle giants, as opposed to their rather destructive hairless relatives.
Plus, Humans have overpopulated to such an extent that it is driving other species out, causing what the media refers to as the next mass extinction.
From a Darwinian point of view, such an issue threatens the circle of life. The species could stand to lose some numbers, just as the overpopulated elk in Yellowstone could.
I wish i could read what was going on in the gorilla's mind when he was dragging the kid like a water toy
"what's going on, why are these humans screaming like banshees at me. I'm trying to protect this hurt creature."
Dragging the little ones is a type of transportation technique to them because their joints are much more stable than ours Harambe was trying to protect the child didn't you saw him getting the child behind him to protect I mean a crowd screaming which you've never seen looks like a danger to me.
"Don't worry kiddo, I will protect you from all those Karens up there screaming at you!" 🤣🤣
It was an accident, four years ago. We don’t know what happened, can we not armchair judge
@predator vinceee yeah
I've finally stumbled across the reasonable human beings on this planet. I was getting a little worried about this country reading comments about killing the boy and his family over the gorilla.
There are less then lethal ways than killing the endangered species, they should have had powerful tranquilizers and if one isnt enough multiple ones.
+kevincena3 watch the fucking video
+dknisle1 read and learn something moron
dknisle1 jeez I never knew he was the only animal expert. Like I said read and learn something fucker
dknisle1 what do you mean? Since when did I say that. That I know, like I said before read and learn something instead of watching this video and thinking you're an expert now.
But why is a humans life any more important than an endangered gorilla? Also it's the parents fault for being bad parents and letting him climb over the stupid wall. If you think about it from the gorilla's perspective, it's a foreign animal entering their territory which I might add, shouldn't even be where the gorilla should be
Aside from the obvious point that it was the unfortunate and correct decision, this guy must be the coolest person ever.
Wow this guy really changed my opinion on the whole thing but I still believe the parents are at fault
Shouldn't be that easy for a child to get in. The Zoo is at fault.
"No breaches ever dating back to the 1970s"....the parents displayed a level of incompetence that no other parents did over the course of 40 years and BILLIONS of visits. These parents should be charged.
Why all the dislikes? They made the right choice.
Cause lots of people live in 99 % fantasy land. This is a fact.
+LastOfTheMaguas i think they watched too much Disney movies as children.
+Soccer Player_124 dude you don't pay attention.
Soccer Player_124 A tranquilizer would make it go crazy and possibly injure the child.
Your is hav big gay
That kid had a Tarzan moment ... You know until they shot the poor thing
Well it was violently dragging the kid around.
+brigham bentley hey dumbass its an ape it has no sense of etiquette or sense to make sure the child dosnt get hurt it dosnt know stop acting like its a human, its an ape its going to act like one
Silverfish _ I don't think he was trying to hurt the child, but he was still hurting him.
Where was the mother, if that was my kid, I would have jumped in to save him from the gorilla
I'm sure that would have ended swell.
Harambe would be scared and probably hurt the boy on accident and then it would be the mothers fault even though it’s already
For the people that are mad about them killing that gorilla, it's obvious that it wasnt YOUR kid in that cage!
Im so glad the little boy is ok. Bless his little heart. I can't imagine being that poor mother! It's a sad ending for the gorilla but that little boys life comes first. period.
Poor mother? She's lucky to still have her kid. Hopefully she'll learn her lesson. As far as I'm concerned she's the luckiest mom in the world.
That is pretty sweet considering all the outrage swirling about on this topic.
So human life is more important than animal life? Wtf is wrong with you
vijay vardhan Singh what is wrong with you?
@@mikester848 yeah he's crazy
The barrier allowed a naive 4 year old child to get through that led to him falling in the pit. Jack is on point 1000%
I would have to agree with you, also I think that little Boy's Parents should've Paid Attention to him.
My aunt owns a restaurant in Florida that I was working at and Jack Hanna came in and gave me a $5 tip and an autograph
I understand people need to watch their kids, but an enclosure isn’t supposed to be built in such a way that it’s possible to just up and fall into it. I’ve been to Zoos all over the world and it’s just not a good idea. The parent was negligent, but yeah...unfortunately the animal has to be shot in order to save the child.
If you look at many sources, you would know that that child jumped in on purpose
The issue isn't about the decision to kill the gorilla, the mom needs to be thrown in jail for failure to supervise her child!
Jack Hanna has lost my respect 1000% for condoning the killing. what right do we have over these animal? it bad enough you kept them in cage and put them on display to the public for profit, but when they act on their natural instinct, you kill them. they didn't ask to be put in cage. what right do we human have over these animal that allow us to decide who live and who die. animal doesn't conform to our rules and behavior. if you going to keep them as attraction in a concrete enclosure, expect to deal with the consequences, even at the expense of the boy life.
i cannot agree more ! This world was not just created for humans but for animals too
Start getting behind HUMANITY instead of this disturbing INSANITY you display. Without the Zoo most people would never ever ever ever even get to SEE these creatures. Let alone begin to develop a deep appreciation and value for their existence.
You want most animal lovers? Start being reasonable instead of batsh!t crazy anti-human.
if Trump get elected to office, then yes, humanity will be destroy. it is human garbage like you that makes for a tempted argument to live in the jungle.

what? just to prove a point to you? i don't think so. i won't give you that satisfaction. it more enjoyable trolling your comment than to swing from tree vine. so keep them coming. i do this for a living and am not going anywhere.
I’ve been to zoo with my mom as a kid BUT MY MOM DIDENT LET ME PLAY THE LIONS
She shouldn't be this kids mother anymore.
The WRONG Choice!
He stood the Child up to see if he was Hurt.
What do we Do?
Become Better Parents, or don't have Kids at All! Totally Avoidable..
Total Parental Failure.
I believe Harambe didn't intend to hurt the little one. Gorilla's are smarter than some humans. That kid was hydroplaining.
when does the mom talk? the real guilty party here is her and she will probably have the nerve to sue the zoo..
+Marq True
+Marq lol
+Marq stop being racist. It's not cool.
+mayagold10 how is the mother guilty?
Do you have experience as a mother or babysitter atleast with a 4 year old child?
Do you know how hard it is to keep them under your control?
Especially a 4 year old with high energy/adrenaline levels.
I blame Obama
What would you have wanted the zoo to do if it was your child? Answer that question first and then feel free to criticize.
Its a catch 22. The boy should have never fell in cage point blank.
Anyone that thinks this was a bad idea is either INSANE OR INSANE
Jack Hannah has been doing his work for 40 years... And in those 40 years, he looks exactly the same... Dude has looked 60 years old for years!
He had to make sure to put on his safari outfit before doing this TV interview lol
Kinda confused about this whole dart thing tbh, I never thought about it back then but we have darts that put polar bears to sleep in 2 seconds. Why exactly would they not work?
@You want rent get religion well you're wrong, there is a dart that can put a polar bear to sleep in less than 5 minutes. in fact theres multiple drugs that could be used in dart form
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith not really, especially when the animal isn't hurting the child. And shooting it with a gun is more dangerous to the child than a tranq dart
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith do your research, there are darts that will literally bring a polar bear to the ground in less than 10 seconds. And like I said the child was never in danger other than a bullet flying in his direction. I understand every second counts in a situation where someone's life is in danger but the simple fact Is- that child's life was never anywhere close to in danger
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith No? It's not. and i sad less than 10 seconds, obviously you haven't watched the video because there are multiple points where the animal is just standing still for minutes at a time just holding the childs leg. I'm an atheist, but if you think shooting a animal that's doing nothing wrong is a viable solution then you should change your username and sit down and think on whether or not you can call yourself a "child of god"
@@vexxingfox that is not true it takes 5 minutes to knock out a gorilla because this was in 2016 also gorilla's have been observed to get angry when shot by a tranquilizer
also tranquilizers are less accurate than rifles shooting bullets
Who’s to blame? I would say 100% the zoo. These creatures should not be living like this. They belong in the wild.
So he still could've disagreed 900 percent more and still agreed with it 100 percent?
