Of an emergency situation. The zoos been here 143 years. Thats saying a lot. It is a big loss to the cincinnati zoo, harambe was one of the most magnificent animals, a critically endangered species, were one of the key players in captivation and endangered species. Early morning ive never seen so many people here at 7 45 in the morning on a holiday and it s w showed whether people are off or not, they came because they really cared. The purpose of this is different, a chance for people to share their feelings. There were tears and hugs, people who knew harambe the best, his keepers shared a lot of stories about him. But everybody at the zoo feels the loss, theres no doubt about it. That does not just mean a dozen or so keepers in our Primate Department or couple hundred zoo employees but we have 1,000 volunteers at the zoo. We have hundreds of thousands of people who are members of this zoo and, of course, the entire community is very involved with the cincinnati zoo. It is a big loss.
