<\/p>\n
Harambe<\/strong> the gorilla has been dead for exactly 5 years, and the interest in his life and death has not subsided a bit.<\/p>\n
A photo of the beloved ape is being auctioned off as an NFT as a way of memorializing his passing.<\/p>\n
Harambe was killed after a child entered his enclosure and he began dragging the child around. The Cincinnati Zoo’s Dangerous Animal Response Team decided there was a life-threatening situation they had to abate and shot him dead.<\/p>\n
There was considerable controversy over the decision<\/strong> to shoot Harambe, particularly since Harambe did what apes do … he was the true victim.<\/p>\n
Social media has not forgotten Harambe, who was 17 when he was killed. He had celebrated his birthday the day before his death.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Harambe died on May 28, 2016. He was 17 years old.<\/p>\n
