Harambe, who was 17 years old and weighed 440 pounds, grabbed and dragged the boy at certain points while he was in the enclosure, a tense saga that lasted about 10 minutes before the employee shot the gorilla. Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard said in a statement the employee\u2019s actions \u201csaved the child\u2019s life,\u201d saying the zoo is \u201cdevastated that this tragic accident resulted in the death of a critically-endangered gorilla.\u201d Harambe\u2019s death sparked critical reactions from some who blamed the zoo and the boy\u2019s mother for negligence, while a Change.org petition demanding legal consequences for negligent parties when an animal is killed at a zoo garnered more than 210,000 signatures. Some scientists, though, defended the zoo employee\u2019s decision to kill Harambe, including primatologist Jane Goodall, who said Harambe\u2019s death was \u201cawful,\u201d but \u201clife and death decisions sometimes have to be made\u201d and that a tranquilizer would have taken too long to take effect. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=116\">WHO Director Headed To Congo: \u2018Ebola Is Back\u2019 (Live Updates)<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How Did Harambe Become A Meme?<\/h2>\n<p>Harambe instantly became an internet meme, and he was described by some media outlets as the biggest meme of 2016. Some earnest tributes for the gorilla appeared to descend into humorous territory, with internet users posting faux tributes, parody songs and photo edits of the gorilla in the weeks and months following his death. Harambe was shoehorned into other internet memes, with some social media users declaring \u201cBush Did Harambe\u201d\u2014a reference to conspiracy theories about the Sept. 11 attacks\u2014and, in a more explicit meme, internet users turned \u201cd-cks out for Harambe\u201d into an ironic tribute for the animal. The Cincinnati Zoo denounced the memes, with Maynard saying in a statement he is \u201cnot amused by the memes, petitions and signs about Harambe,\u201d adding the \u201czoo family is still healing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=114\">Hormuz Deal Hangs In Balance As Iran Claims It Retaliated After Fresh U.S. Strikes<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p>The Internet won\u2019t let Harambe rest in peace (The Washington Post)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a lengthy tribute on X that immediately went viral, the White House honored the slain Cincinnati Zoo gorilla Harambe as an \u201cicon\u201d of \u201cinternet history\u201d and \u201cAmerican culture.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
