well one human was a small child who fell in by accident, the other was a grown man who was determined to jump into the tiger enclosure-to the point of overpowering a woman who tried to stop him from jumping into the enclosure

Also harambee not only didn't harm the child but very clearly made every effort to protect it from the other gorillas and the crowd

Harambe was actively harming the child and refused to disengage even after the other gorillas followed zookeeker instructions and left the area.

Yeah, this narrative that Harambe wasn't doing anything is straight up wrong. There were multiple witness statements where they all corroborated that Harambe was violently throwing the child around, shoving him to the ground and holding him under water.

There's even a video where you can hear people screaming in fear.

I was about to say, you don't need to believe the statements, there's videos. Harambe was for sure yoinking the kid around and not protecting him at all.
