Zoo's Decision to Kill Gorilla Sparks Outrage

Hosted by

When a four-year-old boy breached a barrier at the Cincinnati Zoo, a 420-pound gorilla named Harambe took an interest in him and dragged him around. Zoo officials say the child was at risk — from accident if not from intent — and they killed the gorilla. The boy’s mother thanked God for getting her child back...but, for her, that was just the beginning.
