Just reading the title sounds messed up.

So much effort put into these answers, well I believe the reason Harambe is a meme is because... there is no reason everyone is just gay

I like to think it's being done to drive home the point that his death proved humans are more savage than animals.

Here's a vid if you wanna believe that we're more than savages.

Because western society has become so soft, weak and self-hating that they value the life of a gorilla over a child. It's almost as if some of these people have been artificially conditioned to hate things that are like themselves, and embrace & protect things that they have nothing in common with.

I can only agree.

Its just animal, not human.

Tons of animals are killed every day, so why would we cry about one useless gorilla

While people are treating the dead gorilla as a meme,
here I am thinking to myself of why can't they tranquillise the fallen animal.
Why can't they just do that?

Because that doesn't always work and makes the animal more mad.
Better safe then sorry.
