Harambe kept the boy, who was an intruder in Harambe's home, very close while the boy and the onlookers were screaming. So, unfortunately, there was a real risk of the boy being crushed if a tranquilizer was used and Harambe freaked out or passed out.
I think any quick moves made by a 400-pound gorilla towards a 4-year-old boy would look violent and aggressive in human eyes. I understand the fear and know the rescue workers did the right thing, but it still pisses me off and makes me sad that Harambe had to be killed through no fault of his own.
If Harambe intended to hurt or kill that little boy, that little boy would be an effin' stain right now. The boy was released from the hospital a few hours after the incident.
