Harambe Tweets – Parents Vs Advocates
Last week saw many people taking to Social Media expressing their thoughts on the incident involving a child falling into a Gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Tweets from both parenting and animal advocate perspectives were prevalent but there’s still a thin line between who’s wrong or right in this situation.
Here’s a few opinions which got Twitter buzzing:
#1
A zoo is still a safe and wonderful place to take your kids… Unless you are an idiot then no place is safe. #Harambe #cincinatti

I wish more people were raised to have compassion, respect and education for animals. Maybe then #justiceforharambe wouldn’t have to trend 🌲

Don’t take your kids to the zoo if you are unable to keep an eye on them at all times. Simple. #JusticeForHarambe

1. Truly sorry for the death of #Harambe.
2. Do not blame the mom as almost all parents lost the sight of their child at least once! I did!— Tales of New Turkey (@Barishik) May 30, 2016

How do you not pay attention to your kid long enough for him to climb through barricades & fall into a gorilla exhibit… #Harambe

the headline should read “Stupid humans enslave 400lb gorilla for their amusement and then get sad when it tries to kill them” #Harambe

Instead of blaming zookeepers for shooting #harambe why don’t we blame the dumbass parents for not being responsible for their damn child

The #Cincinnatti Zoo must be closed, it’s criminal that it’s unable to protect the animals or public. Senseless loss of life RIP #Harambe

I’m glad there are so many perfect parents out there to pass judgment.

Tell me about it. I am tired of hearing about this story. People need to move on with their lives.

Honestly, there should be no way for a kid to fall or join animals in their cage in any zoo.If the kid could get in by accident, it’s a safety issue and the zoo should be held responsible. Poor Gorilla!

Unless your in the situation nobody should have an opinion.
It’s easier to say what you would do but a different story when your in the situation.
What you say and being in the situation are usually different.
So let this go move on with your own lives. The courts said they are not pressing charges against the parents.

It’s easier to judge others without being knowledgable of all the details and facts prior of the incident.
Also, it’s ignorant to compare your life to other parents. You don’t know what another parent is going through.
So don’t speak unless you know all facts of a story before running your mouth.
Don’t be information less.
The media does not always provide all the information.

Go look up the parents record…not good people

Seriously Kristen Northrup. Did you really look up the correct person?Lots of people have the same first/last name.
Also, you don’t know if she has a special needs child or if any of the other children with her were special needs children. Their are a million of things that might not of been advertised, but never the less a judge did not feel to put charges on either parent.
Instead of looking down on someone pray for them and the children and for the best for all family members.
Be the better person. No person has the right to look down on another person or family.

People losing their minds over this gorilla…still, how many days later? Thousands of people dying daily from gang violence, abortions, kids being left in hot cars, etc. Its sad for the zoo/gorilla but unless it’s your situation, I wouldn’t worry about it.
