When Philadelphia announced it was opening a naming competition for its new baby western lowland gorilla, the response was predictable.

People on social media demanded they name their new arrival Harambe, after the gorilla who was shot at Cincinnati Zoo after a child fell into his enclosure and then became an internet meme.

Social media users all over the world mourn the death of Harambe daily, and wanted Philadelphia Zoo to name the infant animal in his memory.
