#JusticeForHarambe

#JusticeForHarambe refers to a social media movement that emerged after the death of Harambe, a 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016. The gorilla was shot by zookeepers after a three-year-old boy climbed into his enclosure, prompting an intense debate about wildlife conservation, parental responsibility, and animal rights. Supporters of the movement argue that Harambe's death was unnecessary and symbolized broader issues regarding the treatment of animals in captivity. The hashtag has become a cultural reference, representing advocacy for animal welfare and sparking discussions on ethical implications of zoos.
