“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 linked the ones where they explained that it wasn't trying to kill the kid, if it wanted to, it would have ended him in seconds, the whole situation lasted like 10-15 minutes and he didn't kill him while people around kept screaming like chimps agitating him instead of shutting up and letting the staff to do the same thing they did when this happened in the past. Not to mention they have tranqs strong enough for elephants while they destroy cars and other vehicles and they couldn't do it for gorilla.

Gorillas never attack unless they feel threatened and a small scared kid could never cause it to feel threatened and it didn't, had everyone remained calm and didn't agitate him, this whole thing could have been avoided and resolved peacefully with zoo staff retrieving the kid.

Not to mention the absolute worst parents who let this happen in the first place.
