       Harambe was murdered so some human (who was negligent enough for
       their child to fall into a gorilla pit) would not be at risk of
       having their genetic legacy potentially being harmed. Now, the
       same people who murdered Harambe want to r*pe gorillas in his
       "honor".
       --- Quote ---
       > One of the most widespread memes was noted by The Washington
       Post and New York magazine who observed a proliferation of
       over-the-top and fake tributes to Harambe. "The idea is, the
       more intense and more sincere-seeming the expression of mourning
       is, the funnier the joke."[34][37] [...] Aja Romano of Vox wrote
       that "If you were a progressive, the Harambe meme gave you a
       chance to mock what you viewed as the hypocritical haranguing of
       the mainstream while avoiding real issues of social justice;

       Instead of simply being "funny", I think "Justice for Harambe"
       became a big meme because it represented how fed up people were
       with the absurdity and hypocrisy of Western Civilization.
       Unconsciously, I think many of those memes really were sincere.
       After all, why shouldn't Harambe have justice?
       If the media and talking heads are going to go on and on about
       ethics, and justice, and how much they care about human and
       non-human victims of all sorts of tragedies, why shouldn't we
       actually get real ethics and real justice at some point?
       Nearly all of the talking points used by the social justice
       movements protesting against human-on-human initiated violence
       by police can be applied to what happened to Harambe. Why treat
       his death as just another statistic and move on? Why were they
       so quick to jump to lethal measures, rather than trying
       de-escalation? Why were so many quick to stereotype him as
       aggressive, violent, etc., when no one could have known what his
       actual thoughts and motives were in that moment (especially now
       that he's dead)? Why did they "need" to murder him when other
       gorillas in similar situations did not harm children and the
       situation was able to be resolved without their deaths?

  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambo
       ...Why not restructure society so the situation never would
       have occurred in the first place (i.e. by removing zoos
       altogether)? If getting justice for human victims is too
       politicized and complicated, why can't we have justice for a
       "mere" gorilla? Is any form of empathy and justice too difficult
       for Western Civilization to produce?
       We might as well rally around a gorilla who is even more
       voiceless and powerless than human victims who have families,
       friends, and lawyers to speak for them. If we are truly sincere
       about having empathy and wanting justice for even the most
       powerless, that is.

       > On October 18, 2021, the 7-foot-tall (2.1 m) bronze statue
       Harambe was illegally placed in Bowling Green Park in New York
       City, facing the Charging Bull statue, which itself had
       originally been illegally placed. The act was carried out by
       organizers promoting Sapien.Network, a social media network who
       aim to put the needs of humans first. The statue of Harambe
       facing the bull, whose feet were surrounded by 10,000 bananas,
       was a statement about wealth disparity.[62]
       --- End Quote ---
       Especially when all the publicity of this incident has caused
       Harambe to be continually exploited and his memory more
       tarnished than typical human murder victims... A "social media
       network who aim to put the needs of humans first". Like,
       seriously? That's why Harambe was murdered in the first place.
       The stronger people mock the incident and exploit it for their
       own gains, the stronger the unconscious yearning for real
       justice becomes.

       The Western 'solution' is to violently harvest organs from
       innocent victims (who obviously never consented to it) bred
       specifically for this function. Any moral universalist can see
       that all this really does is transfer the organ shortage crisis
       from humans to non-humans, since the victims will now lack
       organs having had their own ones stolen from them! In other
       words it is not a real solution. Just like Western 'solutions'
       to most problems: merely transfer the problem to those outside
       of the 'problem-solvers'' sphere of ethical concern!

       flashlights—the toads freeze when confronted by a bright
       light—then milk the venom from the toad’s parotid glands,
       typically holding a mirror up to catch the spray.
