On May 28th of this year the Cincinnati Zoo shot and killed the gorilla Harambe after a three year old boy entered his enclosure. Despite whether the killing was justified or not, many people were heartbroken by the loss of a beautiful animal taken too soon. This day of recognition would serve as an homage to the life of Harambe and a reminder to both protect animals and utilize child leashes more often. I hope that the American public can see that their government does right by Harambe the gorilla and honor him for the amazing creature he was and is in our hearts.
