1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: Thursday, the twenty ninth of May.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 3: Do you remember Harambe I was reading this this morning.

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 3: It's an anniversary of the death of Harambe. My kids

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: were obsessed with this story, as was most of the.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: World kids of a certain age.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but nine years ago today Harambe was shot dead.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 3: Harambei was a Western Lowland gorilla who lived in Cincinnati Zoo.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: As his story coming back to you now, do you

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: remember this?

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: A three year old boy climbed over a barrier and

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 1: fell into the moat of Harambei's enclosure. Harambe noticed him

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: and climbed down to investigate. Harambi approached the boy and

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: picked him up by his leg. He then carried him

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: through the water and dragged him up a ladder onto

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: dry land, where he held him between his legs. The

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: zoo officials immediately signaled for the three gorillas in the

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: habitat to return inside, but Harambe did not comply. The

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: zoo officials faced a difficult and dangerous decision. They could

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: not use tranquilizers as they would take too long to

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: take effect and could have agitated Harambi further. They could

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: not enter the enclosure, as they would risk being attacked

23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: by Haram or the other gorillas. They had to act

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: fast before Harmbi could harm the boy or himself more.

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: They made the heartbreaking choice to shoot Harambi, ending his

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: life and saving the boy. Rest in peace, Harambi.

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: There was lots of discussion at the time as to

28
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: whether they should have shot Harmbi. When you hear that,

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: then you look all that decision making that had to

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: happen in that really short period of time, and he

31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: became a whole lot of memes and kind of stuff

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: around it. But we've just relooked at the footage. Yeah,

33
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: it's very distressing to see him drag that three year

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: old child through the water. At any minute, you think

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: this is going to turn deadly.

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: I think they had no choice.

37
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: They had no choice. And imagine that they didn't want

38
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 3: to agitate him further. They didn't want to they couldn't

39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: tranquilize him. Would have taken too long. Imagine how quickly

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: those decisions had to be made, because when you look

41
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: at that footage, it's quite terrifying.

42
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: Remember work on that day, zookeeper and you've got to

43
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: hangover or something like that.

44
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: You think I'll get through today and I'll just head home.

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: Be a quiet day at the zoo. To the little kid, Yeah,

46
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: he would be what now eleven?

47
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Reddit where they know every thing.

48
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Why hasn't anyone found the kid who fell into her

49
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Rumbay's enclosure?

50
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: Well, I wonder if the family probably went to ground

51
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: because there was a lot of criticism that the child

52
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: had been allowed to get into the enclosure a.

53
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: Lot of people. I mean, if he knew who it was,

54
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: would you out them? What you gain from it? Because

55
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: there's no real reason to. He'd be about eleven years old.

56
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: Leave the kid alone. His probably parents probably don't know

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: where he is either.

58
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 3: So nine years ago, remember was all that stuff about

59
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 3: what would her Rumbay do? My kids were obsessed with

60
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: a rumbay.

61
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: Right now, the cult hero. Those kids are in their

62
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: twenties now.

63
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: I just texted that to mine this morning, saying, hey, guys,

64
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: it's nine years.

65
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: You're probably drinking it in a city pub, drinking that

66
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: horrible fruity passion for it beer they seem to like

67
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: And Brendan says, hello,
