It doesn’t matter if they play with their kids like that. It would have killed a human child. Do you know how fragile a three year old is?
Also that is not true at all. Do you have a source for gorillas playing by dragging their children around and banging them against the ground while almost drowning them? They play wrestle yes, but that was not playing.
Also I know about all those incident you linked, I described one of them in my first reply. Notice how there are no others showing the opposite side of things. Mostly because human death and gore are banned on YouTube.
Also I know the people screaming didn’t help. But that doesn’t change the effect.
How do you think the situation would have played out? Do you really think you know more then the staff of two zoos? The Cincinnati zoo weren’t the ones who shot him, the Gorilla research center in Miami where Harambe was from advised the zoo to shot as the chances of the child not being critically injured or killed was low. Do you really think you know more about Gorillas then people who’ve spent their whole lives studying them?

“Gorilla dads play with their children extremely gently”
Uh huh. Keep linking the same news article about Binti Jua. The zoo were lucky the kid wasn’t already dead after being dragged and around and drowned like that.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
