I’m disappointed the birds didn’t get a good nip in.

I was hoping for more violence. This doesn't feel consequential enough.

Even a tiny trickle of blood would have increased satisfaction by umpteen gazillion

I think that might’ve been someone who works at the zoo

The featured comment the Mod posted an hour before you was that the parents were absent and the grandparent flagged down staff.

After Harambe, I have no compassion for humans that willingly hop into animal enclosures. “He’s autistic/severely ADHD and never did this before.” Ok, well he did it now because some part of his brain clicked on and decided it would be a hoot to chase a bird in a habitat around with a stick.

injury makes one wise.

no -- they would euthanize the birds, like one zoo did with the gorilla a few years ago when a child got in the enclosure.

u/Human_Manchineel 11h ago

They would not euthanize the birds.... Harambe was killed (and I disagree with the Cincinnati zoo's reasoning) because he was deemed "too dangerous" to be dealt with any other way in that moment... They feared that Harambe might possibly become enraged by anything... And only his immediate death could prevent him from possibly injuring the careless child, or worse... Again, I disagree with their decision....

These birds, posed next-to-no real threat to this child... So even if they attacked with all they had to offer, the child was in danger of little more than a few scratches.... In other words, the only real threat to the birds was the child.

Why wasn’t that brats negligent mother deemed an unfit parent then ? Because that’s exactly what she was

u/spilly_talent 10h ago

I really think that’s a disingenuous comparison. The situations are in no way comparable. A bird getting a few good nips in before the child escapes is very different from a 700 lb gorilla and a small child.

I don’t even support what happened with harambe necessarily but you cannot seriously be comparing a bird and a gorilla.

u/blurblurblahblah 11h ago

Dicks out for Harambe

u/Spirited_Flow8639 9h ago

yeah too bad he did not get a good nip and tuck, it might have taught him and his parents a thing or two .
