On May 28, 2016, a three-year-old boy climbed into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo and was grabbed by Harambe, a 17-year-old gorilla. Fearing for the boy’s life, the zoo decided to shot Harambe, so Harambe was shot dead. The incident was recorded on video and went worldwide, and has created controversy over the choice to kill Harambe.
Following the killing, Harambe became the subject of multiple memes. Since it’s related to different social subjects such as the danger of zoo animals in close proximity to human, the need for better standards of care, politics, and even social justice.
