Synopsis

The Cincinnati Zoo was faced with a horrible, life and death situation.  Risk the life of a little boy who fell in the enclosure or shoot and kill Harambe, the 450 pound silver back gorilla.  By now everyone knows the outcome, but what was the process zoo officials went through to shoot and kill Harambe?  The protocol was planned, rehearsed and carefully thought out in advance.  Director of the Santa Ana zoo, Kent Yamaguchi, talks about the precautions all zoo officials must take, his insights on the emotional dilemma faced by the zoo officials and the silly things some parents do at zoos.  Joe sat down with Kent, under a big shade tree, just outside the enclosures of about 60 monkeys, just a few minutes before all the student field trips came into the zoo.
