Unless you’ve been away from this planet, you already know about the horrible accident that happened on Saturday at the Cincinnati Zoo. A 4-year-old toddler jumped into a gorilla exhibition. He dropped about 10 feet and when he got there the gorilla, named Harambe proceeded to “protect” the child. As we have been told by the news the gorilla was a danger to the child due to his size, therefore it had to be shot and killed to protect the child.

There is not full evidence of what happened except for a couple of witnesses and the zoo staff. As soon as the news broke the Internet went CRAZY! From memes about shooting the mom and bad parenting post, to animal rights activist blaming the zoo for such a terrible outcome. Bloggers all over are weighing in on whose fault it is. This post is not about blaming anyone.

I think this was a terrible accident and we should LEAVE IT ALONE. We weren’t there. This is a sad situation for all parties involved. The gorilla (and endangered specie) is dead, the zoo lost one of their own, the child is traumatized from falling and being man handled by a gorilla and hearing a gunshot, and the mom for feeling all the guilt and bearing all the responsibility (according to the Internet and the million of perfect parents out there).

It’s crazy to think that it has been 2 days and people are still arguing on whose fault it is. It DOESN’T MATTER. It won’t change what happened. Now let this gorilla rest in peace and this child and mom recuperate from the trauma. And for everyone judging the mom or the zoo or the whole situation YOU WEREN’T THERE! That’s what you would want if you were them.
