Tributes have poured in for slain gorilla Harambe on the seventh anniversary of his death - after he was killed when a toddler fell into his enclosure at Cincinnati zoo.
A four-year-old boy fell into the enclosure just minutes before the 400-pound animal was fatally shot. At the time, authorities said the boy crawled past the railing and fell 10 feet into the gorilla's habitat, where he spent more than 10 minutes.
The worldwide attention that followed the death of Harambe sparked thousands of memes and parody videos, making the ape a pop culture phenomenon.
And seven years later, people across social media still remembered the animal on the anniversary of his death.
The Gwinnett Stripers, a minor league triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, wrote online: 'The Gwinnett Stripers would like to take a moment to remember the life of a kind soul. Harambe tragically lost his life on this day 7 years ago. #NeverForget #Harambe.'

Exactly! I understand gorillas š¦ are an endangered species, but Iām also appalled that people care more about one rampaging beast than they do about the millions of unborn children terminated in the womb or the homeless veterans!
My thoughts exactly!
For those with not much else going on in their lives, let’s all gather and ‘celebrate’ the memory of Harambe.
Ooga and Ooga.

Probably a lot of them are single, barren older women who only have Chardonnay and their cats to keep them company.
If these people just looked at the very well documented situation.. read the zookeepers reports and examined all the facts..
.. The gorilla had to be put down. It’s a shame. The whole thing is a shame. But people act as if nothing was done or thought of before some “gun-nut just shot him and laughed the whole time and for no reason”
The zoo really, really wanted to find a way out of the situation without losing either life.
I must be insensitive. my life has not been impacted one way or another about the killing of Harambe the gorilla.
I was climbing trees at 4.
Look at the demographics. There will be no accountability because any attempt to hold blacks to any reasonable standard of civilized behavior is now racist.
