This is a section for discussing the bold removal of "however", which has been restored until there is consensus for its removal. I look forward to working with you on your proposed removal which is controversial and does not currently have consensus. This wording has been in place for years and never been a problem with other editors. I believe Harambe's action of not following the females into the building is highly significant and the emphasis with the use of "however" is justified by subsequent course of events. -- GreenC 19:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Euthanasia"
@GreenC: You are correct that "aggressive animal behavior" is a reason for animal euthanasia. Such cases might include a dog found unsuitable for adoption because it is easily provoked to bite humans. This case has more similarity to a police officer entering a house with a warrant and shooting the owner's aggressive dog. More relevant terminology might be defense of others.
Yes, the decision was briefly considered before it was executed, but that doesn't change the nature of these events. It was an emergent situation, and Harambe was a healthy adult gorilla, behaving as one might expect from a healthy adult gorilla. The term "euthanasia" is reserved for cases where the animal is in some way dysfunctional and unable to live a healthy life.
Please provide a reliable source that refers to this killing as "euthanasia." —Guanaco 03:42, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
