Saying this, I give my heart to say I feel sorry that the Gorilla had to be killed in this situation.
If you have been buried under a rock or just not associated with Social Media here is the clip of the whole ordeal CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY OF GORILLA'S DEATH
Now back to this. I have seen so much out pour of love for the Gorillas death. What I have not seen is the concern and love towards the parents and their child. Now at first when I first heard this I was thinking how can anyone allow their child to just drift off like that. And I kept asking that to myself and then actually answered myself. I put myself in the shoes of this parent. In a crowded Zoo. With more than 3 children. A child can be gone in a BLINK OF AN EYE. And Imagined this women turning and not seeing him and then looking around for him. Looking in the crowd, looking in the bathroom, looking anywhere and everywhere BUT THE GORILLA CAGE or in any direction of getting into the Gorilla Cage. EVEN WITH HEARING MY CHILD SAY "Mommy I want to get in the Gorilla Cage!"
Now if you have children, nieces, nephews, or any child imagine that little boy being them. The one that you love and tell me if you were handed the gun to shoot Harambe would you shoot them?
Now for you perfect parents I want to introduce to another case you may want to look into. This woman's 4 year old daughter woke up at 3am, got dressed, opened the door of her home by herself, went to a bus stop, yes alone to get herself a slushy. Now the bus driver did the right thing and called the police to get her back home and the thought of pressing charges on these parents was non existent. If you think I am making this all up HERE IS THE FULL STORY OF THE 4 Year OLD RIDING THE BUS ALONE TO GET A SLUSHY!
I also believe that the Zoo made the right decision and why go against the experts. We have to remember that the Zoo profits more by having Harambe. They are protecting him because he is endangered. To kill him was the only option. I hear people say, well they could have tranquilized him. You don't think they knew that? You don't think tranquilizing him was a thought?
Lastly, I have not seen not one single post about the after effects of this ordeal for this child. How shaken up he has to be. He saw the Gorilla die. He knows that the Gorilla was killed because of him. He one day will grow old enough to see the post and notice the disregard of his well being and the backlash of the type of parents his Mom and Dad are in the eyes of the public. Their mistakes in the public eyes are preposterous and he may wish he was born to perfect parents not knowing they are NON-EXISTING!
For you perfect parents out if you have never had any close calls or mistakes that know one would no about because you would not tell them then I believe you should start a course for us "Imperfect Parents" If you have never lost your child in a store and had to use that loud speaker in the store to find them, or they get burned by the stove, or almost run in the street, or had a car accident with your children or anything else you could come up with I would suggest that you really should consider teaching. Hey I would even put the marketing together and I all I want is 15%.
If you are not a perfect parent like the 99.9% of us then please stop attacking these parents and show yourself to be a decent human being and show them some support like you are doing to the Gorilla.
In the words of the Cincinnati Zoo, when it comes to Animal Life and Human Life we must choose our own.
