''I Have seen the Gorilla take a Green coconut and squished it, We work there, we know our animals. You dont" - zoo keeper

    

Zookeeper Jack Hanna backed the zoo's decision.

He said "I've seen him (Harambe) take a green coconut, which you can't bust open with a sledgehammer and squish it" he told "Good Morning America."

Thane Maynard, the zoo's director, stood by the decision to shoot the gorilla after he dragged the boy around by the ankle.

He said the ape was not simply endangering the child but actually hurting him.

"Looking back, we would make the same decision," No matter what the world thinks. he said.

Come to think of it, these zoo keepers truly know the animals they have there. Do we have to wait until the animal squish the life out of the 4 year old? The zoo keeper who had raised the gorilla right from when he was a baby, know the mental health of the animal and knows what it could do in a split of seconds.

Its a pity Harambe died, but its not enough reason to use this issue as an avenue by some racist to rant abusive comments on the parents of the child simply because they are black.
