Genetic material gorilla Harambe was frozen
Became known some details of the incident, which occurred at the Cincinnati zoo, where the boy fell into the enclosure with the gorilla.
The mother of the child who fell into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati zoo said a smooth voice to calm his son. But she couldn't hold back fear when a 450-pound Harambe pulled the boy out of the ditch with water.
"He drags my son! I can't watch this," she said to the 911 operator. "I can't. I can't watch."
Mom called 911 because it was the fastest way to alert authorities of the zoo to save her 3-year-old son. "Hi. My son fell at the zoo in the cage with a gorilla," says the mother. "Cincinnati zoo, my son fell in the cage with the gorilla. There is a male gorilla standing over him. I need someone to contact the zoo, please."
The boy was not seriously injured after his Saturday pulled out of the cage Harambe being endangered Western lowland gorilla. After 10 minutes, zoo staff shot the animal.
"We continue to praise God for His grace and mercy, and we are grateful to the staff of the Cincinnati zoo for actions taken to protect our child," said the boy's family.
The doctor removed and frozen genetic material gorilla after his death, said the zoo. Critics rallied against the murder of a gorilla. Some of them suggested to involve the boy's parents to criminal liability. An online petition called "Justice Harambe" gathered more than 100 thousand signatures in less than 48 hours. "This beautiful gorilla lost his life because the boy's parents are unable to provide for the child."
Thane Maynard, zoo Director, wanted to kill the gorilla. "We are all devastated by the tragic accident that led to the death of the gorilla," said Maynard. In turn, a group of animal rights has requested investigation by the USDA. Advocates are claiming that the Director violated the Law on the protection of animals, said in the letter.
