“A lot of people have been reaching out,” said Marisa Garcia, a spokeswoman for the zoo. “They have been very touched by Harambe’s story.”
Garcia said no specific event has been planned this year. A small “Harambe Lives” sign will be placed on the outside of the gorilla habitat.
In April, a petition asking that the zoo retire the gorilla was posted on Change.org.
The petition gained more than 10,000 signatures. It was presented to zoo management and approved by a vote of zoo staff members.
The petitioners cited the gorilla’s death as a factor in their reasoning for retiring the animal.
Garcia said this has not been a factor in the zoo’s decision to retire the gorilla.
Garcia said options for Harambe’s retirement include breeding, placing him in a zoo in Europe or finding a new home for him with an accredited zoo.
Harambe (May 27, 1999 - May 28, 2016) was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, on May 27, 1999. On September 18, 2014, Harambe was transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden to learn adult gorilla behavior and join a new social group.
On May 28, 2016, a three-year-old boy climbed into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and was grabbed and dragged by Harambe, a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla. Fearing for the boy's life, a zoo worker shot and killed Harambe. The incident was recorded on video and received broad international coverage and commentary, including the controversy over the choice to kill Harambe. A number of primatologists and conservationists wrote later that the zoo had no other choice under the circumstances, and that it highlighted the danger of zoo animals near humans and the need for better standards of care.
