If you want to anthropomorphize a dumb animal, then let's even the playing field. The gorilla attacked the child and held him hostage. Given between the life of a gorilla and a boy, the boy wins out every single time.
Mom should have been charged with not taking care of her child, resulting in the gorilla's death. The whole thing was sad. Love Jack Hanna. Truly one of our heroes.
watching jack hanna on letterman was always so much fun. alot of jokes made about jack being not very knowledgeable about the animals. the fact is jack is incredibly knowledgeable about animals and their behavior and is the absolute best person to ask in situations like this one.
Yes, his visits to Late Night with David Letterman are the most fun, with the animals and Letterman needling Jack, just amazing and hilarious at times. So glad we can re-watch those treasures. 👏
Jack essentially said that the silverback male was startled, hence he knows for a fact that he would (though unintentionally) definitely have hurt the child
Well then get the stupid screaming people away from the scene to calm him down. I saw no aggression from that gorilla toward the child. If anything, he was trying to get that kid away from all the loud noises the only way he knew how. So get the screaming crowd out of there, let him calms down, and tranquilize him. You shit the bed to you need to deal with any consequences that may come. Don’t take it out on the gorilla, especially when he wasn’t even trying to hurt the boy.
@@superfly19751 i assume youve studied gorilla behaviour for several years Don't mind me then, i was going off Jack's words that the gorilla was about to become aggressive
Hurts my heart that Alzheimer’s has ravaged him. Hate to hear it for anyone as far as that goes. Love Jack Hanna, watched him for decades & he was always informative & entertaining. He is such a caring man. God bless him & his family.
If you take your child over an interstate bridge, you don't let him hop over the railing there, either, why would people think gorillas are less dangerous than traffic?
It's BEEN said~where the heck was the parent and what were they doing while their child ran around unattended? Sad that a beautiful huge beast had to die at the hands of such neglect.
She was right next to him attending to her three other children. Apparently he said something like “I want to swim with the gorillas” and his mom responded to him “no you don’t.” She turned her back to deal with her other kids and in that one moment he went under the fence and fell in.
This was a tragic accident.. There is no one or nowhere to place blame here. As a species we are inclined to need to place blame after a tragedy to make sense of it all... "It's the mothers' fault for not watching her child!" In fact it isn't... I have a 7 year old and he can dart off in any direction at any time. As he has adhd I have to be extra vigilant however, he still slips past every now and then.. He is a child it's his NATURE! "It's the boys fault!" Again he is a CHILD he did not understand the magnitude of his actions, he had no concept of the danger he was in. "It's the zoo's fault, the fencing should be higher, lower, wider, etc.." The fact here is in the time this zoo has been open to the public this is the FIRST and ONLY time a child has fallen into the Gorilla pen... millions of children have visited the zoo. I'd say the fence has proven to be adequate enough. This was an ACCIDENT literally a one in a million thing. "It's the keepers fault, they should have tranquillised the gorilla!" Well in doing so they would've certainly signed the boys death certificate."The gorilla shouldn't be in captivity anyway!" Without breeding programmes like these many MANY animals would be extinct already. Programmes and education these places provide are essential helping to ensure the animals survival. Instead of placing blame maybe we should all silently mourn the loss of a soul and give thanks that another was saved. This was a tragic ACCIDENT... there is NO BLAME!
I love watching Jack, I have since I was a child. His mind works a million miles a minute and there’s so much information to learn from him. I’m heartbroken that all of that has been stolen through Alzheimer’s. I feel like the animal loving people in this world are losing a dear friend. This has shocked me, and saddened me beyond words. But, Jack will ALWAYS be the best, the greatest gift to the animal kingdom, and one of our greatest gifts. This is a man with a beautiful heart and soul. WE LOVE YOU FOREVER JACK.

Looking at this video as as someone who started from the future 2023 post Alzheimer's and backtracked - Wow what a man - Really appreciate the family decision to share that journey (post this sensible straight talk ) . Good to normalise a whole generation of superstars, great individuals or anyone who lived long enough to forgot who they were. Influence counts - Very Cool straight talking guy - Thanks for continuing the lesson (Yep Ive got an old horse who is forgetting stuff) Cool life - Respect !
My third child ( on the spectrum) needed a LEASH. No matter what I said she would get away.... disappear. She'd get obsessed..chasing a peacock or something. I almost had a heart attack chasing after her and finding she was climbing onto the top of a giraffe shed from a bridge. I was constantly chasing after her. Picnics. My grandmother's funeral.... (And SHE can still disappear in an instant at age 26.) Kids on the spectrum are known to do this. Even though they FAILED to diagnose her as a child, I know what the situation was. I feel such empathy for what Jack and his wife have gone through.
I always loved watching Mr. Hanna and the animals he would bring to talk shows. I loved watching his specials and when he would educate us from the wild. My parents and I would watch Mr. Hanna and similar shows because we loved learning about the animals. I'm very saddened by learning of his diagnosis of Dementia/Alzheimer's. Another wonderful person and mind lost to the world. Sadly, I can see some signs of dementia in this interview. He'd always been a very well-spoken man, and here, he still is, but he's not as concise as I remember him being. A terrible disease that I hope doctors find a way to cure someday. My heart goes out to his family, know that even if he doesn't outwardly recognize you, there is a piece of him that does. This was my experience with my mother.
he's actually right still, I still understand this. Though I was pissed that the child jumped in, I still don't understand why the parents weren't paying attention to their child. No one can ever replace Harambe
That's not what he said!!! It's racist idiots that are upset that a black child was saved over an animal. Jack did not blame the mother once in this video period!!!!
..... " This thing pops into the mote, it looks like a gorilla, kind of. You know what I'm saying?" Uh ohhh. Surprised there weren't riots and outrage at that comment. Jack is a good man.
I have to agree with Jack I was born in east Africa and been up and close with these animals. Killing it was sad but that child would have dead if they tried to put that animal to sleep.
I'm gonna be honest, if I was that gorilla, and got hurt with a dart, i'd be like, -Kicks kid across water, slams face into ground, climbs out cage, takes over world- ... yeah.
I agree with Jack. I had a child that was very curious and active BUT I knew that we went alot places but I kept track constantly of what he was doing. I like Jack hate the gorilla was put down but it was not a thing you could trust.
I was saddened when I heard about this incident. They made the right decision. It was either the child or the animal. When a dog attacks a child you don't tranquilize it. This was the same. Jack is absolutely right. That child would not be here today if the zoo had not acted as they did. I commend them for doing the right thing! I also wanted to say thank you to the woman doing the interview you let Jack talk without interruption! Thank you!!!
The Charles Darwin in me agrees 100%w/ you👍...the sensitive side of me agrees w/ you BUT I swallow hard,grit my teeth,nod my head,empathy warms me,and just remain aware and TORN❗❗
Anyone saying otherwise doesnt have children. Why would they take a chance and let the gorilla kill the child? A human childs life is more important than any animal.
I see these comments, kill the mother, kill the child, human lives are better than Gorilla lives, I believe both sides should not have died, certainly the mother should've been watching the kid, but still, just because she requested to kill the Gorilla does not mean she should die. If you went to a zoo with your only 4 yr old child, and while you were doing something, your child goes under the barrier and jumps into the enclosure, and then you hear screaming, look down and see your own child with a huge gorilla with the power to easily crush your child in a matter of seconds, you'd probably have a heart attack. You'd want to save him, the adrenaline will take away your thoughts. Now you'd say the child should've died but think. He's only a four year old who wanted to see a gorilla close up, we humans are very curious. He's only four, and this might've been the first time seeing a Gorilla. Or even hearing of them. By saying this, I'm not saying Harambe should've died but still. The zookeepers were in a hurry. Tranquilizers were not an option. Stronger ones also could've killed the Gorilla. Same as multiple ones. Their only choice was to kill them otherwise the child could've died. By this comment, I hope this has opened many of the conflicting comments, may this get hate so be it.
its a lot of the Zoo's fault, how can a 4 year old be able to enter this area where there are 400 pound gorillas just sitting there, its obviously not secure enough so the parents could sue the Zoo and the parents could be prosecuted for negligent of the child, point is it wasn't the gorillas fault it was the Zoo and the parents fault period
The zoo was meeting the safety requirements set by USDA and its not fair that people are blaming the zoo for the barriers when they weren't negligent at all. Perhaps the rules and requirements of safety barriers should be reviewed but these barriers has been safe for over 100 years. I personally feel that the parents negligence was at fault here for not teaching their kids to be better than climbing fences whether it be in a zoo exhibit or otherwise. Fences are built for a reason and four year olds have no business climbing over them.
@@yoyo777 yes the closest i Came was a man been attack by gorilla in Australia, but hes fine.. ofcorse i dont think harambe ever would hurt enyone he was nice.. gorilla is fore must a loving animal we most never shoot them..
It's called 'Double fences' like we have in Oz. we have the best Zoo's in the world. WHy? No recorded injuries in 20years.. check out the 'Dubbo Open plane zoo'..
If you read about this event, the Cincinnati Zoo did have a double fence. This kid had to have been unsupervised for awhile in order to get into that enclosure. I still think the zoo made the right (and horribly sad) call. Even with double-fencing, you can't guarantee that something like this will never happen.
Jack Hanna is one of the greats of being a wildlife ambassador he is up there with legends Marlin Perkins and Steve Irwin. I so have that he has Alzheimer's. I know that killing the Gorilla Harambe was the right thing but it breaks my heart that the parents was not doing their job and watching their 3 year I mean come parents watch your children he could have died from just the fall and it was the parents fault of the loss of such a beautiful life.
It's so sad that he has Alzheimer's and is almost a shell of a man he used to be. We miss you Jack and will always remember your legacy.
Jack, you are a national treasure. The work that you have done is infectious to new animal people. You have inspired
God knows Jack was a demon that destroyed and hated nature.
Memories to a great man , he was outstanding, yes he is special , stay safe , prayers !
Jack is lost to Alzheimers/Dementia now...what a joy it was watching him and learning from him. Thank you, Jack Hanna.
Ok. I noticed that he is struggling with his language in this interview which is a sign of Alzheimers. It`s a terrible disease.
The blame is 100% on that boy's parent who broke safety rules, causing their kid to end up in that position. An innocent gorilla is now dead.
If you want to anthropomorphize a dumb animal, then let's even the playing field. The gorilla attacked the child and held him hostage. Given between the life of a gorilla and a boy, the boy wins out every single time.
Blame the zoo for lacking an effective barrier.
@@denisenoe3702 easy to tell your tv and the gov't raised your kids.
Mom should have been charged with not taking care of her child, resulting in the gorilla's death. The whole thing was sad. Love Jack Hanna. Truly one of our heroes.
This man has knowledge, experience, and common sense.
The world is missing the knowledge and experience Jack Hanna gave to millions of us growing up in the 80's and 90's.

Yes, his visits to Late Night with David Letterman are the most fun, with the animals and Letterman needling Jack, just amazing and hilarious at times. So glad we can re-watch those treasures. 👏
Thank you for providing an interview of sufficient length to explain what happened.
yeah, pointfull explanation .
Really excellent interview. Thank you for letting him speak at length.
Listening to his explanation makes you realize what is lost with his medical condition. God bless him.

Hurt is an understatement. That boy was like a chicken to a grown man. He could be easy dinner, all it takes is motivation on the gorilla's part.
It's such a shame with all the knowledge he has and now he's got dementia it is so sad
Hurts my heart that Alzheimer’s has ravaged him. Hate to hear it for anyone as far as that goes. Love Jack Hanna, watched him for decades & he was always informative & entertaining. He is such a caring man. God bless him & his family.
great explanation by this expert. now I have a better understanding of the story. thanks Jack Hanna

What sort of parents let go of their 4 year old son in a zoo??????
I never understood why they euthanized the gorilla; he NEVER hurt the child! So weird!
Mandatory leashes.

Yes, sometimes things just happen and no one is to blame.
100%
We miss you Jack, God bless you with your wife. You might not know but we miss you seeing you with the animals.
Lesson learned and I'm sure most zoos in the world (and every zoo in the US) are looking into this to enhance the safety of visitors and animal.

animals and nature is a great way to spend your time
Safety has improved even since I was a kid going to the Columbus Zoo in 2000
You made the right decision and I respect that

Become a parent and know it yourself
@@tribeofeleazerthepriest9132 So do all the children do this for you? hit by cars, trains, fall into zoo cages etc...is 100% parents fault

Why does the "Watch Your Children" part on The gorilla that was shot when it pulled the kid that fell in, sound cut out near the end?
Jack is a wonderful Smart Man . Enjoyed him for many years on wildlife. Thank you Jack.

How very sad! Blessings to the family! Pray without ceasing!

right felicia :)
I always wonder that
Tranquilizers take some time to actually work my guy
@@willthomas2310 well i didnt know that,thank u my friend.
Yes they do take time to work but also using several darts at the same would kill the animal by overuse of the anesthetic drug.

It makes sense what hes saying
Anyone saying otherwise doesnt have children. Why would they take a chance and let the gorilla kill the child? A human childs life is more important than any animal.
He probably had early Alzheimers at the time of this video but didnt realize it.
The innocent gorilla, confused, and protective had to be killed for what happened. Whatever excuses there are, parents must keep an eye on their kids.
I am so sorry that they didn’t try to sedate the gorilla. That was such a needless killing.
He explained why they couldn't...
I see these comments, kill the mother, kill the child, human lives are better than Gorilla lives, I believe both sides should not have died, certainly the mother should've been watching the kid, but still, just because she requested to kill the Gorilla does not mean she should die.

Use paragraphs
I disagree ...after watching the footage again the gorilla was protecting the child...no gorilla in recorded history ever killed a human.
its a lot of the Zoo's fault, how can a 4 year old be able to enter this area where there are 400 pound gorillas just sitting there, its obviously not secure enough so the parents could sue the Zoo and the parents could be prosecuted for negligent of the child, point is it wasn't the gorillas fault it was the Zoo and the parents fault period

I've watched jack over the years, yes, he's very knowledgeable about animals. But he's also afraid of them.
Difference between fear and a healthy respect.
As he should be. He’s not invincible.
He’s definitely feeling the effects of dementia in this video. Several family members had it & I can recognize it here by how he’s repeating stuff.

Watch your kids people! This wouldn’t have had to happen.
In a nutshell, the mother was absolutely irresponsible, and is 100 percent at fault as to why the gorilla was killed.
This guy is so on point.
if a 4 years old enters in your garden, your garden is not well protected.....
