In the event that resulted in the last tragedy at Cincinnati Zoo, which claimed the life of an endangered animal (Western Lowland Gorilla Harambe), to prevent this from repeating itself, we would like to pass Harambe’s Law; this law will help to protect animals from suffering the same fate from negligent visitors. On the off chance that this law is sanctioned, it will consider people responsible for activities bringing about harm or death of an animal.

No one is picking interest in seeing anything awful coming to visitors in the zoo, as a matter of fact, this whole catastrophe could have been prevented from happening if the minor was properly guided in the cause of his visit, in the absence of this, a little boy explored the restricted areas of the zoo. To prevent this from happening again, there is need to implement Harambe’s Law, that if at any time this should happen, the careless party or party(s) will be considered monetarily and criminally charged of any harm that comes to the animal(s), particularly when Critically Endangered animal(s) is involve.

The focal point of my work includes educating the public on the significance of respecting and preserving this endangered animal(s), there are certainly laws to protect them in the wild, yet we likewise need laws protecting them from negligence of the public visitors. Help us make sure that the disaster that happened in Cincinnati never happens again, and on the off chance that it does, the individual as well as persons will be held accountable.

This has happened many times before in the gorilla world, such cases includes August 31, 1986 incidence at the Durrell Wildlie Park and again on August 16, 1996 at the Brookfield Zoo. In these two cases the Gorrilas was fortunate because none was killed, as well as the visitors that intruded. It has passed the point where Harambe can be saved, we need not to protect only the people that come to see these animals, but need to keep the animals safe from visitors as well.
