In May of this year, one of our closest friends and role models, the Gorilla Harambe, was slain by bullet in a completely avoidable tragedy. Since than the whole world has united behind our champion. We have been outraged, we have cried, and we have laughed remembering the good times; but most importantly, we have longed for a way to honor him.
As a united student body here are Utah Valley University, we plead with the administration to name our incredible climbing rockwall in memory of Harambe. Climbing was his favorite hobby and we feel like this is how he would have liked to be remembered. We propose the name to be "The Harambe Memorial Rockwall"
We understand that many online "trolls" have belittled his name, making it some kind of joke. We do not condone this light hearted attitude, nor do we seek the support of those that feel this way. As individuals who feel strongly that animals are mistreated, and that the oppressive zoo system is fundamentally flawed, we feel that through Harambe, we can raise awareness to people throughout the world that animals deserve our respect, and reverence.
Pleas sign this petition and join us to honor Harambe!

Naming the rock wall "the project" is super lame. Not to mention the strong ties to negatively seen communities in California
I loved harambe and am deeply by this petition i hope our goals and values stretch on to inspire future rockclimbers and zookeepers as they climb uvus rockwall
Every sunrise is but a sign that he smiles down on us in his glory. #Harambeliveson
I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man, and my son, "Big Hoss." Everything here has a story, and a price. If there's one thing I've learned after working here 23 years, you never know WHAT's gonna come through that door.
What steps will your energy policy take to meet our energy needs while at the same time remaining environmentally friendly and minimizing job layoffs?
This is an important cause
