The saga of Harambe the gorilla, who was shot in his enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo after a four-year-old child fell into the moat surrounding his habitat, continues unabated. There’s an insane volume of heated debate around it – with many seeking the blood of the mother for ‘negligence’.
Even Anonymous have gotten onboard, releasing a real weird and deeply unproductive video where they ‘declare war’ on the mother and release her name, address and phone number. Glad their current mission for justice revolves around repeatedly haranguing some mum in America because of an accident.
Publications like the Daily Mail dug into the family’s history, posting articles about the father’s ‘criminal history’, as if that were somehow immediately relevant to the boy falling into a gorilla enclosure.
Regardless, authorities have decided to release the mother’s 911 phone call after the child fell into the enclosure. Here’s the audio, via TMZ:
“My son fell in the zoo exhibit at the gorilla—at the Cincinnati zoo. My son fell in with the gorilla. There is a male gorilla standing over him,” she can be heard saying. “He’s dragging my son. I can’t watch this. I can’t watch.”
Criminal charges are reportedly being pursued against the zoo, and police are also investigating the mother. I’m thinking there’s at least one week of pure outrage left in this one.
