In loving memory, Harambe 1999-2016' People gather to pay tribute to gorilla shot dead (photos)

Hundreds of 'mourners' yesterday gathered at the Zoo where Harambe the 17 year old Gorilla was shot dead, to mourn over his death, branding it a 'senseless death' . A bronze gorilla statue was created in the zoo where the mourners dropped flowers and paid their tributes to the gorilla who lived an 'innocent life' until his 'brutal' death.
