Why are people so upset about this harambes killing?

Nothing more vile than the sheer psychopathy of your average peta zoophile freak...The world would be a much better place if we treated them like the animals they see as their own equals.

gorillas ... pose no more danger to humans than a koala. That being said they are very large, and there was clearly a danger of injury to the child in this case,

Ok? Bit ironic that you're saying that but you're the one who is coming off as a "psychopathic freak".

I'm entitled to an opinion without some butthurt animal-hater like you insulting me.

First of all, gorillas are not 'vicious animals'. They are herbivorous and pose no more danger to humans than a koala. That being said they are very large, and there was clearly a danger of injury to the child in this case, but that was largely because a troop of escaped hairless monkeys were shouting and screaming at the gorilla.



Why people who don't care about animal life care about other humans they will never meet is beyond me. If you have so little empathy as to think its OK to shoot animals for no good reason then why do you even care about your own species beyond family and friends? What kind of mental gymnastics does your brain do to justify such illogical compartmentalised thinking? Nazi Germany was one of the first countries in the world to introduce laws against cruelty to livestock, and yet they committed the Holocaust. And yet the same people who find that fact hard to comprehend somehow manage to commit exactly the same logical fallacy themselves, in reverse.

Respectfully, if the Gorilla intended to do that, he would have. However, the fact is that he didn't and indeed was showing signs of protective behaviour.

A gorilla (most cases) only attacks as violently as you have suggested when threatened. This gorilla was certainly not threatened by a 4 year old child, if he was, everyone would have known.

Also, even if taking action is most appropriate, why not use tranquilizers, or distract him with bananas which is what another zoo did?

I'd choose the gorilla over the child any day.

What is weird is how some people believe that animal lives are worth more than a humans. That is absurd. They're not even equal to us. We're above them and take priority.

The experts on the scene deemed it to be a life threatening situation. They acted accordingly. They did what they had to do. It's unfortunate that the gorilla had to die. Especially an endangered species, but that is a better scenario than a dead child.

Contradictory, much?

Would you choose the gorilla over your own child?

Why are people going so mental about this stupid gorrilla being killed. The fact is if it hadn't been killed it would have killed a 4 year old which surprisingly a lot of people seem to be ok with. This reminds me exactly of cecil the lion. I will never understand why westerners seem to think vicious animals are cuddly pets just because someone gave them a name and started a twitter hashtag about them.

First of all millions of animals are killed every day to give you mcdonalds or KFC and none of you seem to care about that. Secondly people who actually live in countries with these animals know how vicious they are so don't care if they are killed. Why people seem to think animal life is equal to human life is beyond me.

Yes it is rather funny which things people pick to get upset over out of the multitude of events that don't affect them at all

That's lovely and everything but I bet if your sister/brother/mother had fallen into the enclosure, you won't be telling the zookeeper to hold fire.

I witnessed a child get brutally murdered and laughed because i find it funny that people get upset over events that dont effect me at all

My point was not that people should never be upset by stuff that doesn't affect them, but that the things that spark the most outrage don't seem, to me, to necessarily be those that warrant all the attention and emotional investment. There are many, many bad things that happen and don't affect you directly. And yet somehow stuff like this and Cecil the lion spark a lot of outrage, while most people aren't crying over the thousands of people starving to death every day, for instance. I guess it's simply a case of if the media sees fit to make a story out of it, i.e. it's brought to people's attention, then they'll lap it up as the thing they need to be outraged over.

I cannot anticipate such hypothetical questions because I will never have children. I would choose a gorilla over a child, like I originally stated.

Not ironic at all. Valuing animal life over human life is psychopathic. Simples.
And i'm no animal hater...Not sure how'd you'd infer that from my post dissing weird zoophiles on the internet who wish death on other people.

Don't make things complicated. Nobody would choose a gorilla over their own child.

What about your niece/nephew/cousin/sibling/parent? You would choose a gorilla over them?
