Animal Rights Outrage Grows Over Gorilla's Death

Dozens of people gathered at a vigil on Monday for the gorilla killed by Cincinnati Zoo officials Saturday to protect a 4-year-old boy who fell into the animal's enclosure.

The gorilla, named Harambe, was shot and killed by the zoo's Dangerous Animal Response Team after grabbing and dragging the toddler through a shallow moat.

“People can shout at the parents and people can shout at the zoo,” said Anthony Seta, an animal rights activist in Cincinnati, the AP reported.
