For the love of animals. Pass it on.

He’s looking around. Like “are you guys gonna come get ya kids wtf? “

The Gorilla kept the child close to him. Something that his parents didn't do.

Several years later, and this STILL makes me angry.

[Stacey_-bfmb]

They really killed a peaceful creature. A gorilla who was doing his best to help a baby.

5 years later, this still sucks. Pour one out for Harambe

[anthonybanton]

That Gorilla looked after the boy better than the parents did. He was in safe hands trust me 😔

[DEMOCRACYYES]

Child's parents should be accountable for this

[randomentity]

He had a bigger heart than most people in our world today. Fly high Harambe.

The mother actually had the nerve to try and sue the zoo for her negligence.

[cal_oh]

Ain't nothing gone right since this innocent creature was killed

[basswarrior]

Still so sad man.. I really don't think Harambe would've hurt this kid. Genuinely looks like he was looking after the lil guy like "hey, he doesn't belong in here"

[juanmartinez-oqfi]

They killed him when his only thought through the entire ordeal was “dont worry son i got you”

[billionear]

Gorilla knew this was going to be a very bad thing. Fear in it's eyes knowing a child in his home wasn't going to end well for him.

[TIOLIOfficial]

The saddest part is him looking around thinking: "Why is this child here? Will anyone get him?"...

I once saw this quote and I’ll never forget it. “A zoo is the only place where all the prisoners are innocent”

[NazgulMOD]

The only father that kid ever had in his life.

[lolol]

RIP Harambe. He lived a caged life, one that is sad enough, and then put to death without any provocation on his behalf.

[World]

He did a better job at keeping the kid safe than the parents ever could

[LisaASMR]

I used to go to this zoo growing up and actually saw Harambe in real life. Never saw the footage of what happened that led to him being put down, but now that I have, it is even more disgusting that people killed an animal when all he did was be curious. It was never even his fault to begin with. Shame on the mother and shame on the people who decided to take his life years ago.

Poor animal. He was visibly gentle to the child.
