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.

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
