Of course if you would have leashed your kid like some people suggested (probably the same people that would find it abhorrent that children would ever be treated like animals, but that’s beside the point) or if you would have kept a closer eye on him, it would not have happened. And your child should never have been able to get inside to begin with! The fact that a child under the age of five could effectively breach an enclosure meant to keep a 400 pound gorilla and ourselves separate completely baffles me.Īnd I am sure it was a horrifying reality to turn and in a split second realize that your child was now on the other side of the looking glass. I, and the rest of the world, will never fully understand why death trumped tranquilization. Your child’s life was worth saving just like theirs and the full reality of the situation is that you cannot change how it happened or where it happened.Īnd ultimately there was a failure from every angle. It’s just, they lose their kids in the supermarket, at parades, at crowded malls, and even airports.Īnd in every one of those instances it’s about saving the child. They have lost them in public and it could have been any one of those people calling “neglect” to have had the exact same thing happen to them. But I know that even the best parents have lost their children. I have seen death threats and horrible things said about you. They dart between clothing racks, climb to the tops of trees, and seemingly disappear even when we’re trying to pay attention and juggle life in general. I also know that as a mother of two and now almost 3 kids, they can slip away in a single instant. And you probably are just as saddened as so many others are that his life was taken. He was a beautiful and majestic creature and an animal on the endangered species list. So I want to extend an invitation of mercy to you.ĭo I love animals and do I feel incredibly saddened by the death of Harambe? Yes. And I will probably ensue my own hate mail, but I believe this is worth writing to you. Lord knows you probably are. I know that after scrolling through hundreds of articles, re-shares of the news story, and thousands of comments, all I have seen is hate directed at you. And ultimately, I am writing it because I genuinely hope you read it.
