He said, just like you lock your car and people can still get into your car, people can get through barriers.

What?

I don't understand.

It's a zoo.

Make it child safe.

Yeah.

There's children at the zoo.

It's mainly for them.

It's for children.

This went down like a lead balloon with the public.

Yet more petitions received countless signatures asking for the zoo to be investigated, shut down or prosecuted.

As of 2023, it is estimated the iconic image of Harambe taken on his first day at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2014 has been shared over 25 billion times.

The image was sold as an NFT, remember them, by the original photographer who's called Jeffy McCurry, and he described Harambe as a true friend.

He sold it for $5 million.

That is a true friend.

In the years since his death, hundreds of charity auctions have been held in Harambe's name.

Notably, in 2021, during the COVID GameStop investment shenanigans, many people who made money donated portions of their profit to adopt a gorilla.

And hundreds of thousands of dollars were sent to gorilla charities across the world, making a huge difference to the ongoing welfare of the species.

I actually believe I read but this morning that the lowland gorilla is no longer endangered.
