In Cincinnati Zoo, a very tragic incident happened to a 4-year-old boy who fell down the cage of the Gorilla. The zoo staff managed to remove two of the Gorillas inside after calling them.
But one remained and he is the 17-year-old Harambe. Based on the observation of the witnesses, the Gorilla picked up and dragged the kid.
But others said that the Gorilla was just trying to protect it after the crowd started screaming at the top of their lungs.
The management of the zoo decided to shoot the Gorilla in order to save the life of the young boy. It was a choice between the child or the animal.
Many people immediately reacted saying that they could have shot the Gorilla with a tranquilizer rather than ending its life.
