Harambe Or The Little Boy - Whose Life Means More?

It's Tuesday and the news is still rife over Harambe the gorilla who was shot dead. The world was outraged and protesters are still sitting outside the zoo with placards. It was very unfortunate that the gorilla had to be shot just a day after his 17th birthday! But if we think logically, we can be assured they did save the little boy. After all, don't we all value human life? We all want to live forever, we eat healthy, don't want cancer etc, etc. So the little boy deserves a life. A male gorilla can be very unpredictable and very dangerous. They are three times bigger than man and have 6 times the strength of man. The gorilla was agitated with all the screams and shouts all around. Had a female gorilla got the boy, it would have been a different story. Also as a Mum, I would have been distraught if my child had fallen in. Don't blame the parents. We all do our best for the children. They obviously care for them and were treating him to a day at the zoo. Days out nowadays cost a lot and it's not choices we can all make. Food, clothes, and bills obviously are first on the list. RIP Harambe, but I know we want our human population still here on earth. The zoo should get a proper cemented barriers around the gorilla enclosure and then cover it with ivy so that nobody can fall in again.

Let us be thankful that the kid was saved. It could have been anybody's child. Children can be unpredictable as well. Love your children and stop wars, guns, investment in armory, and nuclear anything in this day and age. It's ridiculous while we can continue to commemorate all the battles fought in years gone by we are still waging wars today - shameful!

Have an awesome day and keep smiling.

Love & Peace.
