The Cincinnati Zoo, which killed Harambe the gorilla after a toddler fell into his enclosure in May, was not in compliance with federal standards for housing primates, a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspection found. The barrier at the Cincinnati Zoo’s Gorilla World was never updated since it was built in 1978. After Harambe’s death, it became “apparent” that it was “no longer effective,” according to the USDA.
