I asked a question last night about Harambe and I thought everyone would have remembered the sad story of the world’s favourite gorilla, unfortunately dispatched to monkey heaven when a stupid child ventured into his enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo and, being non-verbal and thus immune to reason, Harambe had to die by gun.
It was big at the time. In fact, it was all anyone talked about for two weeks. I still get teams who name themselves after our fallen primate comrade.
But also, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten.
I suppose the 24-hour news cycle will do that to an animal story from eight years ago. There’s only so much grieving the world can handle.
