After the kid is removed

sigh unzips

Pantherina ,

Do gorillas kill babies of other animals, monkeys or humans?

I just dont really believe that Harambe would have done anything to that baby.

Karyoplasma ,

It's a wild animal caged for display. As in: may act erratically.

Pantherina ,

For sure...

In this particular situation, Harambe was causing harm to the child, more of a curiosity but with a very strong and less dexterous creature. I don’t think a wild animal should be held accountable for being themselves. So his death is still bullshit.

There is another example of a child falling into a gorilla enclosure and a female gorilla protected the child from the other gorillas until the zoo staff arrived.

Most males in the animal kingdom are, at best, indifferent to children of other males/species. At worst, they actively kill babies from other males.

He would have killed it but I believe a gorilla is worth more than a kid. even 5

They may or may not. I've seen a documentary once about a Jaguar that killed a gazelle (I believe) that just had its calf born. The mother was dead and being eaten, the calf had nowhere to go and just stayed with the Jaguar who then sort of accepted the calf and let it live. They became this super weird parent - offspring pairing that, of course, didn't work. The calf needed feeding, there were obviously no gazelles near, and if I recall correctly it either died soon from malnutrition, or after a few days the Jaguar just killed it anyway. The narrator speculated that the Jaguar might have lost its offspring shortly before and still had that motherly instinct.

Moral of the story is. Animals are driven by instinct and hormones, don't trust they will not shred you.

the same is true for people too 😅

Bon Jovi David Bowie and Harambe were the cosmic glue that kept the universe's shit together. Nothing's been normal since their deaths.

Bon Jovi is alive, though?

Xavienth ,

Cosmos7349 ,

Nothing’s been normal since their deaths.

SpaceNoodle ,

Nope, it was all David Bowie. Harambe is just some of the initial fallout.

My dad died the same day David Bowie died. It really sucks to have all of your friends post things like, "David Bowie was an inspiration to me and made me the person I am today. His star has fallen and I will be devastated forever. Also, sorry about your dad, dude."

lol_idk ,

Who TF downvotes this?!

eighty ,

After the following years, I've quietly taken the whole "this is when we diverged into the darkest timeline" schtick an iota more seriously. It's been a strange 8 years.

HootinNHollerin ,

I just died crying laughing at the combo of post and top comment

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The existence of Harambe implies the existence of Halalbe

tpihkal ,

Wasn't Epstein a gorilla?

NotSpez ,

All I know is he didn’t kill himself

doingthestuff ,

No.

ILikeBoobies ,

We call them Bumblebees

Pantherina ,

There is no existence or Harambe anymore 🥲

Haraam means forbidden, but haram actually means sacred.

Haram ·​ be = sacred being

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Both english and malay adopted the term with the spelling "haram" as forbidden, but i do acknowledge haram might mean something in another language.
