Let's capture endangered species into captivity for human entertainment....... and then KILL said endangered species.

most of the time critically endangered species are kept in captivity to ensure a monitored and safe growth of their populations for the future as most of the time they will go extinct if left as they were in the wild 

Correct.

... and here comes a little 3 year old, neglected by his mother, stumbling down the hill.

Endangered Species monitored due to their near extinctions?

We need the zoo equivalent of this plastered everywhere in zoos. "Beware, you're at a ******* zoo." Followed by trip wire that sounds an alarm and a task force when kids get to close to an animal exhibit.

Well, I originally said the parents should be charged for the value of raising a new baby gorilla too.  But chances are, that would cost like a quarter of a million dollars.  LOL

So they can pay in installments. Gotta have some sort of motivation/deterrent for dummies. Large sums of money usually works well. A story like that would have ppl think twice about being negligent near a open exhibit, for a couple months...

I have watched this video over again, and with the silverback's postering, and tight lips, it's pretty much the stuff of any keeper's nightmares, and I have had MANY while working with them. This job is not for the complacent. Gorillas are kind, curious, and sometimes silly, but they are also very large, very strong animals. I always brought my OCD to work with me. checking and rechecking locks to make sure my animals and I remained separated before entering to clean.

I keep hearing that the Gorilla was trying to protect the boy. I do not find this to be true. Harambe reaches for the boys hands and arms, but only to position the child better for his own displaying purposes.

Males do very elaborate displays when highly agitated, slamming and dragging things about. Typically they would drag large branches, barrels and heavy weighted balls around to make as much noise as possible. Not in an effort to hurt anyone or anything (usually) but just to intimidate. It was clear to me that he was reacting to the screams coming from the gathering crowd.

Harambe was most likely not going to separate himself from that child without seriously hurting him first (again due to mere size and strength, not malicious intent) Why didn't they use treats? well, they attempted to call them off exhibit (which animals hate), the females in the group came in, but Harambe did not. What better treat for a captive animal than a real live kid!
They didn't use Tranquilizers for a few reasons, A. Harambe would've taken too long to become immobilized, and could have really injured the child in the process as the drugs used may not work quickly enough depending on the stress of the situation and the dose B. Harambe would've have drowned in the moat if immobilized in the water, and possibly fallen on the boy trapping him and drowning him as well.

We might as well start blaming the grandparents for having these kids and not raising them properly to watch their kids properly.

i mean if the kid's unmarried mom procreated 4 times with a convicted felon bum, chances are her parents are just as trashy. culture like this is pretty cyclical.

******/pushing victim/accident proof

Hopefully those things have sensors for when they close, so a dummy doesn't get crushed.

Shoulda threw the parents in and let the whole family die. Average IQ probably would've raised an iota.

too far

just pointing it out that they exist and people can still get on trains with them.

 

[sharkin]

Jesus could you imagine the uproar if they let that gorilla tear him apart?

Part of the responsibility of keeping animals in captivity is balancing their delicate life against their exploitation. Sometimes, they just have to die.

 

[sharkin]

Poor parents had to go through this trauma. I'd say the Zoo owes THEM something for this. I mean, what kind of place is this.. A zoo?

 

[jape]

they should be banned from all zoos for life

Well, Nothing can be 100% idiot proof. You are in a thread where a mother let her kid go off in a zoo, near the open gorilla exhibit....

 

[getback]

I guess these could work. Look costly though. What country? Seems as though there aren't enough of these accidents to warrant gates.
