"“This tragedy is exactly why PETA urges families to stay away from any facility that displays animals as sideshows for humans to gawk at.”


I agree with this !

That's fine

But be aware in their own environment, most of these beasts will be long ago slaughtered by humans of course...

It sucks
But most of these animals are far safer in a zoo then out being hunted by poachers..
But sure
End zoos
Poachers need to earn a living too

Do you believe the expert now - or will you rely on your irrational and acknowledged fear to guide your ignorant actions?

If my fear is irrational
Can you pls go to a zoo with your children and have them play with the caged beats for us..as in your children in the same cage, unsupervised...

Post the vid
Thank you

And if you won't do that..
Your full of it then
 
You keep moving the goalposts .. you initially questioned the wildlife expert who claimed Harambe was not a threat to the child, and asked if that wildlife expert would let his/her children play with Gorillas.

I posted a video of a wildlife expert allowing his children to play with Gorillas.

Now, do you think it is me (the non wildlife expert) or the real wildlife expert that is full of it?

Furthermore, if you think the wildlife expert is full of it, what are your qualifications in asserting that claim?
 
Several of you werent there so how do you really know what happened? Kids escape from their parents all the time. Even the most watchful ones so we dont know if the parents were purposely not paying attention or they got distracted by something and the kid just took off. The Internet backlash on these parents was horrible. If there was criminal neglect, let the authorities determine that. Otherwise, if several of you feel the parents are doing a crappy job for not paying attention, then that means several others who have lost children are crappy parents too, including me.
 
I agree with you. I refuse to participate in the firestorm. I got into a nasty argument with a friend about it on FB. His girlfriend posted that she was pissed at people telling her that her opinion of the parents dont carry much weight because she doesnt have kids and that it was insenstive of them. I told her that if someone was criticizing my parenting skills when they weren't there to see it, I WILL say exactly that back to that person just to hit below the belt where it hurt the most. Her boyfriend cussed me out on FB and I told him off. I dont give a damn because I was a victim of a backlash by my so called friends 11 years ago when I lost my 4 year old daughter at the beach. Seeing everyone's nasty comments about the parents and what they would have done and etc triggered the anxiety feelings I endured 11 years ago so I shared my experience and how I felt bout it. Then people were telling me that my situation was different and I was like "HOW DO YOU REALLY KNOW???" "WERE YOU THERE?" They didnt like it and got all defensive saying that they never let their eyes off the children they have babysat. *FACEPALM*
 
My kid did escape me and ran into the street. Luckily there were no cars. All I did was let go to reach for something.
 
The boy's mother said her son kept saying "he wanted to into the water " and the mom said she looked away to take care of 5 more kids . Will the mom should of
held onto her son hand with an iron grip while she checked out the other kids . People are entitled to express how they feel about things! We don't need any Big Brother or Big Sister telling us what we can think !
 
when I adopted my youngest (6 at the time)...he had the tendency to run right into the streets....even in stores, he would run off and I would be looking all over for him...so I made him get into my buggy (and he hated that)...and when we crossed the street, I held onto his ear or the back of his shirt.....it took awhile before I "got him trained!"...LOL...and we were talking about it the other day. I've noticed too...at the age of 20...he looks both ways before crossing over...LOL....

How exactly do you distract and reason with a silverback gorilla? You would be dead or out of commission before you knew what happened to you.

Conveniently forgetting that the mother DID tell him NO. As noted we weren't there.. and we are NOT privy to what that woman's and family's home life is like or how they normally interact. Meaning.. maybe normally a firm NO stops the kid from doing anything... but just this ONCE it did not work. How could she have known? We don't know if she was already holding onto two other kids' hands with an iron grip; how do you propose she hold onto the kid who fell in? Moms would need to have arm extensions surgically implanted if they have more than 2 kids under the age of 5.

Parents will do everything in their power and the best they can do to protect their kids. It will not always be enough. By the logic of many people in this thread, my cousin's son should still be alive. He isn't because he was hit by a car in front of his mother and younger sister- he was crossing the street-- and he was 14.

So, maybe the mom could have figured out a way to be sure the kid didn't sneak off, but it's a split second... anything can happen in a split second. The mother doesn't need internet armchair warriors to tell her how to parent her kid(s).

The day you do something "wrong" and the internet vilifies you, come back and tell me how you feel then.

You just made a very valid point.

there was a huge red flag that his mother completely ignored.

Harambe was the better parent, at least he was watching the boy.
 
How many of you run around in circles screaming "kill it! kill it" when you see a kingsnake?

ive moved nothing...
im just a dog with a bone.....;-)


were those random gorillas and random children?

its not just an expert stating he believes the gorilla was not a threat you are too.
thus i'm asking you now
or
are gorilas only non threats to others children, but for yours...you wont do it..
mmmmmm

i dont need to have qualifications to know wild beast or caged animals or caged humans for that matter are threats to children...

i assume such

you should too

dont you think if truly you were right, and gorillas are non threats to children, zoos would of been letting children and gorillas have playdates?
the loot windfall alone would be huge
but they don't, do they?

because........

gorillas are caged animals, and can easily kill, very easily kill a human child


i keep asking you a simple question
would you let a caged human treat you child or any child like that?
if not
why not

and why would you let a gorilla?
