A "legend” and a “true patriot.”
No, that’s not a belated memorial for former Vice President Dick Cheney, but the description used by the official White House social media account to mark the 10-year anniversary of the death of Harambe the gorilla.
For those of you who need a painful reminder, Harambe was shot dead at a Cincinnati zoo on 28 May 2016 after a three-year-old boy dropped into the gorilla enclosure. The gorilla dragged the child out of the moat he had fallen into, but was shot “in order to save the life of the child”, as the zoo described the action.
