Gorilla killed

[Cato]

I really struggle with my attempt to understand those that seemingly would have preferred the death of the child.

I followed you up to this retarded point.

None of us wished the death of the child, but some of us neither wished the death of the gorilla.

I actually agree with the assessment that the gorilla was actually acting in a manner to protect the child from the angry, screaming crowd above.  You can disagree with that.

I will further state that there are powerful tranquilizers that are created to take an animal down quickly.  Those taking the side of the zoo that state the tranquilizers would take up to thirty minutes to take effect are utter retards.

Again, you can be a douche in disagreeing with me, you can be retarded in disagreeing with me.  It is your right to have your own opinion.

I am a douche and a retard for disagreeing? How charitable, despite your recognition of my right to do so.

I have no doubt that most everyone would have preferred an outcome similar to that in a similar instance at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago in 1996; one in which there was no loss of life. The difference being that the gorilla in that case immediately and tenderly took the child directly to zookeepers. What I could not let go was the sentiment attending 'feeling sorrier for Harambe's family than anyone else involved' and the justifications registered in its defense.

Conversations about habitat encroachment and the practice of confining animals in zoos are perfectly reasonable topics for discussion and I think we would find a lot of common ground; however, when a four year old child's life is in danger nobody is going to assemble a committee for debate prior to taking action. It's almost as if you would have me believe that if it was your four year old child's mortality at stake that you would simply let nature take its course. Had Harambe not been shot, nobody knows what would have happened, least of all YouTube video observers with no expertise in dealing with these creatures in general or with Harambe in particular. The quality of the exhibit's barrier, which had worked for 38 years, and the attentiveness of the parent are fucking irrelevant considerations once child meets gorilla face to face.

If I am to be the standard bearer for doucheism and retardation for doing nothing more than offering reasoned consideration different from your expert opinion then I shall endeavor to find the tallest mast from which to fly those colors.
