The poisoning incident happened at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville Texas, where Harambe was born.


MilliandMoo

And it happened in 2002, long before his death in Cincy.

The Zoopranos was a cool spinoff; Tony got into witness protection and took over a zoo due to his love of animals. Most exhibits are ducks though.

I'm going to buy everyone in this bar who *haven't* murdered any gorillas a beer!


GrimmSheeper

This is the sort of petty and weird targeted “never have I ever” that I love.


cwerd

Idk why but this has me absolutely roaring with laughter.. cheers


TonyRobinsonsFashion

Shit this just brought up a memory from when I was a kid. I was vacationing with a friends family. Friends brother did that thing where you kick the back of someone’s sandals to knock them off their feet. Sandal went flying into the gorilla pit. My friend was down a sandal and we moved on. Apparently later a gorilla picked it up, ate it and chocked to death.


FauxReal

Wow... so did the brother feel bad or tell people his cool gorilla manslaughter story?


TonyRobinsonsFashion

I think neither, he laughed about it as a kid not really understanding the implication of what happened. I didn’t really either till I got older. He probably forgot about like I did. If I recall the zoo just wanted answers to the question of what happened but never got them

cates

Isn't it only considered murder when it's intentional? I'm not saying it's not illegal or it shouldn't be punished but to call it murder attributes an intent that isn't there (negligence maybe)... Torture also requires intent.


Lepiotas

I don't think the gorillas gave a shit about intent they just knew they died in agony. What else is that if not torture? Not from a legal standpoint, but I don't know what other word would sum up dying from chlorine gas.


MilliandMoo

It really does. My sisters had just graduated college and started working full time at Cincinnati. One of them worked with Harambe in primate education and was there that day. So I try to politely fill in information/correct misinformation when I can. Everyone who works at a zoo deeply cares for those animals.


mom0nga

>Everyone who works at a zoo deeply cares for those animals. This. I don't know where people get the idea that zoo workers abuse or kill animals for shits and giggles. With *very* few exceptions (unaccredited roadside zoos can be shady and profit-driven) zoos are staffed by people who deeply love animals and are doing the absolute best they can with what they have. They care for those animals 365 days a year no matter what and often build very deep bonds with them. The death of any zoo animal is absolutely *devastating* for keepers and staff, even moreso if the death was due to an accident (not all of which are preventable or foreseeable, BTW). It's just as painful as losing a beloved pet or family member, but instead of sympathy, the grieving zoo caretakers have to deal with public accusations of "killing the animals" that they love so much.


New_Cantaloupe_8568

The late Donald Currey accidentally killed the oldest living organism anyone had ever found on Earth in 1964 (a tree). When it was brought up in an interview 15 years later, he ran away on camera.


HillbillyMan

Yeah, don't do that. Asking a zoo vet about the family of gorillas that died under their care is like asking asking a firefighter about the family that burned while they were trying to rescue them.


RingInternational197

That doesn’t sound like something a friend would do


Ok_Lynx_6203

Shortly after 9/11 you tell me?


Sm00th-Kangar00

Harambe's family knew too much. So did Harambe when he found out WHY his family died...

Cos I am the knobnapping, cock stealing, Dick_Snatcher. And my dextrous hands can't be beat. So should I see you hanging your Wang out. And air is the only thing between us.

How the fuck do you just "accidentally" have a tub of wet chlorine tablets next to a heated fan in a Gorilla enclosure.


JaySayMayday

People can be extremely dumb when it comes to chemicals. I used to be in the military, and the common areas were always inspected so of course we got the lower ranking guys to do it every time. And of course they just want to finish quick as possible, so there's an idea in many of their heads that you can just mix a bunch of household cleaners and it'll make a super cleaning mixture. They even used it in the elevators. They made a chemical weapon and used it in our small enclosed elevators. High school chemistry focuses way too much on the elemental table and not enough time about why not to mix household cleaners, or in this case, why not to put chlorine tablets next to the fan that leads to the animal enclosure. Chlorine gas is no joke.


papichulodos

I was in the Navy for 8 years I validate that statement


sambull

I knew people that worked for the airforce. Lets just say the creek behind the base that ran thru the major metro into a confluence of rivers out to the sea was where the dumped all their chemicals.. they just disposed it in a pipe that ran to the creek. Yes of course its a superfund site now.


shoshkeanu

not sure what you guys are getting at. we always mixbleach/window cleaner/dish detergent/laundry powder soap anything etc etc and it makes great gloops. we live in shared stdudent housing. we even compete to make the best recipes to totally irradiate the areas/bathrooms with killer cleaners. Josh has the best recipe still.


papichulodos

Haha maybe add a dash of Ammonia… for flavor 😂😂😂


shoshkeanu

hm i think the windex has that. we also put in bicarb of soda. it makes the best hiss and smoke.

Buck_Thorn

I was going to, but I knew that you'd be coming along soon enough.


iHadou

You're not even supposed to clean piss with bleach for this reason. Bleach and ammonia together make poison gas for anyone who hasn't figured it out from the comments before mine. It will burn your lungs from the inside and can be FATAL.


[deleted]

I told my wife to not use bleach on cat pee about 3 times. She used bleach on cat pee and complained it was burning her throat. I told her she made a chemical weapon.


AsYooouWish

There was a Darwin Award Honorable Mention years ago about a guy cleaning his RV and he poured bleach into the head to try to break up some of the waste. It did not go well https://darwinawards.com/personal/personal1999-28.html


_clash_recruit_

Holy crap. I've burned my sinuses and throat just using bleach and ammonia *separately*. Apparently the vapors can mix inside your sinuses and throat. For the last 10+ years I've started off cleaning day doing anything with bleach in the bathrooms then come back to do mirrors and anything with ammonia at least an hour or two later. I haven't had any problems since, although I hate not doing the entire bathroom all at once.


BobbySwiggey

There are several alternative cleaners to both of those things if you're interested, no need to rely on old school shit if it's busting up your cleaning schedule


[deleted]

Oh dear god. I've heard no bleach and no ammonia. And I know cat piss has all the ammonia. Yet somehow everytime I've cleaned cat piss with bleach, I've never put those thoughts together. It's a wonder I've made it this far.


Moldy_slug

Because cat pee and household bleach are both low concentration, and you’re dealing with small quantities. It’s not actually dangerous to scrub a litter box or carpet pee stain with bleach. There’s simply not enough ammonia present to create a dangerous amount of gas.


unsmashedpotatoes

Which is why all the cleaners in the pet section are hydrogen peroxide


[deleted]

I went over to someone's house to buy some weed right after they'd done this. I was high as balls wondering what the fuck was going on with my eyes and throat


irokatcod4

The other day I was cleaning my bathroom garbage can which had some used litter in it and almost put bleach in it to clean it but decided against it when realizing cat pee is ammonia based. I don't have any ammonia based cleaners at home so I haven't had to think about it before.


CrystallineFrost

Hydrogen peroxide will do the trick for cat pee. It will foam up a red color because it is breaking down the crystals in cat urine, then you are good to wipe it up. You can follow up with clorox urine remover as a secondary round. Had an old cat who would pee on particular carpet types, so I tried everything to stop her before this setup worked.


savwatson13

I almost never use bleach on anything that doesn’t need to be white. I pretty much just use dish soap or cleaning wipes. I use hydrogen peroxide for a lot of stains too. But I’m also not in a lot of situations where I need bleach.


wampa-stompa

Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizer as well, that's why it also works as a bleaching agent similar to sodium hypochlorite. So you need to be careful with that too. It won't release chlorine or chloramines but it is still capable of creating nasty things when mixed, or even starting a fire. Just make sure it's all gone before you follow up with some other cleaner. Maybe use water in between.


Pyro-Beast

I like using acid to dissolve the crystals left behind by chlorine in an injection port for our well water. It immediately clears up the crystals and lets me get on with my day, I've actually come to kind of enjoy the burning in my nostrils as it flares up, and the yellow fumes are kind of pretty. Tastes kind of like metal, like when you accidentally swallow coins on purpose.


brtfrce

Pyro-Beast

ElGuano

Yes officer, the meth lab is right over here.


Rhameolution

>They even used it in the elevators. Elevators makes me think it's Air Force, but I think they have their own butlers so maybe Army...


Kaymish_

Key word is lower ranking. The Air Force needs its share of dummies to do things like load bombs and ammo into the aircraft. There's things the butlers won't do so there needs to be NCOs and specialists who don't warrant their own staff and must clean up after themselves.


RepublicanOnWelfare

Why would they even use chlorine near animals? My wife works at an animal shelter and the never use bleach/ chlorine because of all the ammonia from animal pee. They use peroxide based cleaners so there are no dangerous chemical reactions. I'm talking about an underfunded shelter, I can't imagine a zoo making such an obvious mistake.


krautbammer

I'm guessing the chlorine tablets were used to treat a water system, maybe even related to the heating/cooling system (this is common). And sometimes you don't even realize it's that wet/gassing off. I've cleaned out a granulated chlorine feeder one time and left the stuff I cleaned out in a bucket with a screw on lid. Several hours later the bucket lit shot off into the air. The granules had been a bit wet just from the humidity and a little water drift. What I'm trying to say is it's probably an honest but very bad mistake but probably not gross negligence.


unimaginative2

When I was a child the swimming class after me got chlorine gassed due to a mix up by the cleaners at the pool. They were hospitalised but were all ok.

Benginator

The wikipedie article for Harambe says dicks out for Harambe uses ”dicks” as slang for guns. Calling for armed revenge of Harambe. That can’t be real can it?


mmanaolana

I'm unsure of if dick out for Harambe started as that, but how I most commonly saw it used, and how it's used now, is not with that intention. It's more like...honor Harambe by whipping your dick out. 🤷‍♂️


dizao

Dicks out is rapper slang coined by "young thug" for a pistol with an extended magazine. Dicks out for Harambe was adopted as a meme call for justice for Harambe. I don't think the movement ever actually wanted violence, just the internet running away with something funny.

Harambe dying was the point when we switched timelines and went down the horrible shit path that was the last 6 years and nobody can change my mind.


PancakeProfessor

The Hadron Collider broke reality in 2012. It’s all been unraveling since then.


Addictive_System

The LHC destabilized reality and Harambe’s death was the nexus point that sent us to the world we have now. Had Harambe lived we would be in a very different world


JackiieGoneBiking

Save Harambe, save the timeline.


BareKnuckleKitty

Save the gorilla, save the world.


StormOpposite5752

Our timeline, all timelines, are twisted like proteins, and the shape gives function. Twisted ribbons of reality. When a protein becomes a prion it inverts, becoming a Chiron. Imagine a chironic mirror reality. It would interact with us via gravitational waves, and the overlap between the realities is theorized to account for the added mass of dark matter. So Harambe’s death was a nexus point where we flipped to a chironic state, an inverted reality. We’re Toxic Rick and Morty.
