I'm a little sick of those, including "experts" who have worked with gorillas,

delivering their opinion on the brief video they saw, which did not include the period following the time in the moat.

Have the videos shown amounted to more than one minute of the total 10-minute experience?

Are these experts aware or taking into account that Harambe took the child up a ladder to a grassy and concrete area out of sight of visitors' cameras and became more aggressive, dragging and tossing the child during the minutes before the trained team ended the gorilla's life?

I don't know exactly how many minutes Harambe was in the moat with the child and how many minutes after he ascended the ladder into the habitat area, but the visitors had been cleared from the area into a building before the shot was fired, and that could not have been done in an instant.

Harambe's death is a tragedy. His sperm was collected for future breeding, as were other body specimens for research.

It might have been better, when the defendent suggested this sentence,

for Judge Mallory to respond that the defendant could choose to go to the Baptist church on his own, but that, as an elected public official, it would be inappropriate for a judge to impose such a sentence. The Judge could then impose whatever sentence he felt appropriate.
