Celebrities React to Harambe the Gorilla Shooting at Cincinnati Zoo After Child Enters Enclosure - Read the Tweets
Celebrities are reacting to one of today’s most shocking stories – the Cincinnati Zoo killing a Gorilla named Harambe after a four-year-old boy slipped into the enclosure on Saturday (May 28).
Harambe is a 17-year-old, 400-pound gorilla, CNN reports, and the zoo considered the occurrence situation a “life-threatening situation.” The child was in the enclosure with the gorilla for about 10 minutes. The boy traveled “under the rail, through wires and over the moat wall” to get to the gorilla.
This is why I hate zoos! This is so messed up. This poor gorilla. https://t.co/sdr3KXMyQa

How was the gorilla enclosure not child proof? You're dealing with an endangered species & yet you've made it possible for kids to fall in?

Anywho, no matter how you cut it, this whole situation blows. The only party that didn't do anything wrong is the gorilla, and it died. Sad.

This #Gorilla thing has me stressed out, I know that there was a child in the cage, but the animal did nothing to the child.

Taking their eye off the ball, but no child should ever be able to crawl into a gorilla compound. https://t.co/intjxDvUqk
