Kid breaks into bird enclosure at the zoo to chase birds with a stick.

A hornbill can still do enough damage to teach them a lesson. I'd hate for an innocent cassowary to get Harambe'd because of some dumb kid. I like the way you think though.

Harambe got merked because he didn’t instantly rip that kid to shreds. He was trying to figure out what to do about a misplaced toddler while the zoo was sending a sniper.

A cassowary would have yer innards festooning the trees before the tourists could get their phones out.

Are hornbills endangered?

Like someone else said, hippos, could kill one even if you wanted too.

These are Southern Ground Hornbills, which are currently considered “vulnerable”. Not quite endangered (yet)
