Caged and killed. These words describe Harambe’s life and now his death. Just one day after celebrating his 17th birthday, on May 28th, Harambe was gunned down after a boy slipped into the gorilla’s confined enclosure.

This incident shows how dangerous zoos can be for humans, as well as animals.

This was a tragic loss of one of the world’s last remaining western lowland gorillas. The child’s parent has claimed “‘accidents happen,” which is no defense.

Cincinnati Zoo has reportedly reopened the gorilla enclosure with higher barriers and more netting. This isn’t good enough!

Zoos are ultimately responsible for the death of Harambe, and the deaths of thousands more animals like him. Zoos keep producing baby animals to keep paying customers coming through the gates, and they are killed when they are no longer needed. They will never be returned to the wild.

Cincinnati Zoo must face justice. It is not fit to care for gorillas.
