The Cincinnati Zoo has come under extreme scrutiny for shooting a 17-year-old silverback gorilla after a 3-year-old boy entered his enclosure.
The boy was unharmed after the gorilla, named Harambe, dragged him through a shallow moat in the Gorilla World enclosure. Fearing for the boy's life, zoo security considered the situation to be "life-threatening" and used live ammo to kill Harambe. Zoo officials said tranquilizers would have taken too long to be effective and could have further endangered the boy's life.
