Top Ten Reasons Why Harambe Did Not Deserve to Die

I noticed how Harambe became a big thing. I noticed how he did not deserve to die. R.I.P Harambe. Who would of been stupid enough to shoot him.
The Top Ten
1 The mother was not taking care of her child, so that was her fault.

I care both about the child and Harambe. Harambe was not killing the child, he actually protected him from being shooted. I blame the mother and the people that shooted him for putting these two at risk.

What kind of mother can't teach her kid not to climb over the guard rails of a zoo enclosure? The kid was a moron to be honest!

Which mother would be dumb enough to NOT teach their child not to climb into zoo enclosures.

Blame the child blame the mother blame the zoo keepers. Harambe was an innocent gorilla.

2 Harambe was doing nothing to the kid, just protecting him.

I saw the video and this statement is so true. The gorilla was just trying to protect the poor child.

3 They shot Harambe for no good reason.

True, harambe is a protector. He was not attacking him, he was protecting him from the evil of the outside world. He guarded him from the violence. Harambe is peaceful and kind.

People are acting as if Harambe was throwing the kid around the enclosure. Calm down and go back to spreading cookie recipes on Facebook

They could have just used food to lure Harambe somewhere else than save the child...

I mean, Harambe was trying to protect the kid

4 Shooting Harambe is animal abuse, which should be illegal.

When deciding between a human's life and an animal's life, the choice is clear. If my comment offends you animal rights people, then you can just get bent. The gorilla may not have done anything to the kid, but wild animals are unpredictable. Who knows what he would have done if they hadn't shot him. And fyi, they ruled out tranquilizers because they weren't guaranteed to work immediately and may have provoked Harambe to violence.

I'm pretty sure if they tried tranquilizing the gorilla, he would start acting more violently before knocking out and seriously injure the kid. He had to be killed to protect the kid, but Harambe's death is the kid's mother's fault, really. Everyone should be blaming her for not watching her child.

If they used tranquilizer, instead of knocking him out, He would become more violent and could actually kill the child. This isn't animal abuse.

So wait if I kill an Animal it is illegal but when the Animal Kills Me it doesn't matter? Right?

5 Harambe was a well loved gorilla, so people that might have loved him are now sad now because of that.

True. Then again, I'm sure the child's family and friends may have been terribly sad if the child was killed, but who cares about that?

I honestly bet nobody gave a crap about Harambe before the whole killing incident happened. - NikBrusk

Nobody knew him before that incident happened

Nobody knew Harambe before this incident

6 Harambe was a good gorilla, not a bad gorilla.

Animals don't even know the difference! They do what they have to do to survive!

He was a normal one

Do you know that?

7 The zoo killed Harambe just so they cannot be sued for the kids injury, but that is wrong.

We all know Human Life are way, way more important than a Gorilla's Life and also if they didn't do anything they would be shut down by the government for NEGLECT and the mother would be ridiculously angry at the zoo for this so what are you saying?

They shot it because if they tranquilized it, there was the possibility of it going berserk and hurting the kid.

The case probably wouldn't work because it was really the mother's fault for not watching her child

This isn't the least twisted out of all the her reasoning here, this is verly likely. Why else would they risk hitting the kid?

8 When Harambe dragged the kid, that is the way gorillas drag their kids, so they should not blame him for his natural behaviors that are normal for a gorilla.

The kid didn't deserve to be attacked but it WAS Harambe's territory. The zookeepers should know better about handling gorillas. People should be glad this wasn't a lion or tiger's pen that the kid fell into. I'm not dismissing the kid but Harambe doesn't deserve to DIE because he's an animal and not a human.

Yeah! Who cares about the fact that he was injuring him? And nobody was blaming him! They HAD to shoot him.

How dare they be concerned over the fact that the child could have been seriously harmed or injured!

9 Gorillas are more important than humans.

Gorillas (and ANY endangered animals for that matter) ARE WAY more important! The human race is way too overpopulated with babies being born everyday! Who cares about humans when animals are living creatures too! There should be WAY more of these endangered animals than humans.

One human (Baby too) life isn't as important as an endangered Gorilla. One human isn't worth as much

There are way more humans than there are gorillas. Especially the endangered ones.

10 Harambe deserves to be in the wild free, like any other animal, not locked in a zoo just to get killed.

There's nothing to say that he wouldn't be harmed in the wild either, especially with the rise of poachers. A peaceful life in captivity is better than a dangerous life in the wild surely. Not to mention, what does this have to do with his death?

I'm with DCfnaf. Zoo animals are happy getting their food handed to them and not having to rough it in the wild. They also get toys and stuff so they get exercise and don't get bored. They have everything they need and bonus! No predators.

So you're saying that zoos shouldn't exist and that people are not allowed to see other animals that they are fascinated in? And who says they're "locking him in a zoo"? They still take care of him, feed him, etc.

He would die in the wild anyways, so that item doesn't makes sense. Only cruel zoos should be closed, not all

The Contenders
11 Gorillas don't eat humans.

True. Then again, they can still harm them, an outcome of which I'm sure the kid's family didn't want especially considering it could lead to the kid being killed. Idiots.

What the hell does this have to do with anything?

That wouldn't matter if they do eat us

12 Harambe is now misunderstood as a bad guy thanks to this.

Indeed. Poor wild animal. I'm pretty sure the bears that killed Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend were perfectly nice.

What the hell are you talking about?

13 Gorillas are endangered.

True, unlike humans.

14 Animals are better than humans
