Summary
Who’s to blame for the death of Harambe and The Cincinnati Zoo Toddler Incident?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) talks with actor and comedian Andreé Vermeulen about the toddler who fell into an exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo resulting in the death of the Gorilla Harambe. Should we really be keeping animals in captivity? And why was it so easy for a 3 year old to crawl into a wild Gorilla exhibit? Will Zoos take the fall for this one? They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early.
