Gorilla Shot Dead at Zoo After Approaching Visitors

Gorilla Shot Dead at Zoo After Approaching Visitors

The gorilla known as Harambe has been shot and killed by Cincinnati Zoo officials after he approached visitors in the zoo's exhibit. The 17-year-old male gorilla was considered a member of the zoo's "family" and had been with the zoo since 1999.

Zoo Director Thane Maynard stated that while Harambe was not attacking any of the visitors, he was nevertheless "acting erratically" and posed a risk to the public. A video of the incident shows Harambe dragging a small child who had fallen into the exhibit enclosure.

Maynard faced criticism for his decision to shoot the gorilla, with many people arguing that he could have been tranquilized instead. Others argued that the child's parents should be held responsible for negligence. The Cincinnati Police Department has announced that it will investigate whether any charges should be filed against the child's parents.

Gorilla Kills 2-Year-Old Boy at Ohio Zoo

A 2-year-old boy died after he was attacked by a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday.

Witnesses said the 17-year-old male gorilla, named Harambe, dragged the boy around by the ankle and then dropped him when bystanders began screaming. The gorilla was shot dead by zoo officials moments later.

"The little boy himself had already been dragged around…and as far as we could see, he was unconscious," said eyewitness Terri Mann.

The child, who has not yet been identified, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Zoo director Thane Maynard said the decision to shoot the gorilla was made because "the child was in danger."

"We are heartbroken over this tragic accident," Maynard said in a statement released on Sunday. "We will continue to investigate what happened to ensure we can provide a safe environment for our visitors going forward."

10-Month-Old Baby Girl Killed by Gorilla in Jersey Zoo

Zoo officials say a 10-month-old baby girl has died after she was attacked by a gorilla in its exhibit at the Jersey Zoo.

The incident happened around 3 p.m. Sunday when the infant fell into the gorilla's habitat from a low fence bordering the exhibit. Officials say zoo patrons and staff attempted to distract the 350-pound silverback gorilla, named Kumbuka, but he dragged the child into a moat filled with water.

The zoo's director, Jim Breheny, says emergency responders arrived within minutes, but they were unable to save the child's life.

"It's just a horrific attack," Breheny said. "Our staff are absolutely devastated."

Kumbuka was born at the zoo in 2012 and has been part of its Gorilla Kingdom exhibit since it opened in 2014. The exhibit has been closed while officials investigate what led to the attack.

17 People Injured During Gorilla Attack at Chinese Zoo

A gorilla attack at a zoo in southern China has left seventeen people injured. According to initial reports, the gorilla was on the loose inside the zoo for nearly two hours before it was captured.

The exact circumstances of the attack are still unclear, but one eyewitness told media that the gorilla "went crazy" and began attacking visitors. At least seventeen people were injured in the attack, including three children.

The gorilla was eventually captured by zoo staff and handed over to police. It is not yet clear what will happen to the animal, but officials say they are investigating the incident.

400-Pound Gorilla Mauls Schoolchild in Dallas

On Wednesday, a 400-pound gorilla named "Harambe" fatally mauled a young schoolchild at the Dallas Zoo. The child, who has not yet been publicly identified, had apparently climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was playing with Harambe when the animal attacked.

Witnesses report that Harambe dragged the child around for several minutes before finally tearing him apart. The attack, which ended in the child's death, was captured on video and has since gone viral.

Many people are now calling for the Dallas Zoo to be shut down, arguing that it is morally responsible for the death of the schoolchild. Other people are saying that Harambe was simply defending his territory and that he should not be blamed for what happened.

What do you think? Should the Dallas Zoo be shut down? Or was Harambe just doing what comes natural to him? Let us know in the comments below!
