Voidium Feb 10 Worst thing I've ever watched It focuses on a lunatic who's doing all this conspiracy and nonsense rather than Harambe himself Every rating is from the people who made this or have some relation to the people who made this Do not watch, would rate 0/5 if possible See more gregory m 08/03/2024 R.I.P HARAMBE THINK BOUT YOUUUU! See more United4Critters 11/06/2023 it's a must see doc for the public & zoo staff, so this preventable tragedy does not happen again. the people screaming etc upset himhot the kid. he should have been tranqed not killed if he wanted to hurt that kid he would have in the being See more 09/25/2023 This documentary is moving, very well done and explores many themes including animal and human exploitation, environmental issues, animal conservation and the role of Zoos in Society. Harambe’s story and tragic death is the catalyst for the message that goes well beyond one of our most beloved Primates. Whether you are an animal conservationist, environmental conservationist, a lover or hater of Zoos, the topic of animals in captivity (for the right reasons or for profit), is thankfully brought into the spotlight by this documentary. Regardless of which side of the fence you are on, this documentary will increase awareness, spark conversations and hopefully result in actions that truly protect our most endangered species while responsibly walking the fine balance of conservation, educational….and human entertainment (Zoos).
