Will there be justice for Harambe?

At 1pm Eastern Daylight Time, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters will make the final determination as to whether or not charges of any type will be filed against the mother of the 3-year-old that entered the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo on May 28, 2016. No matter what happens, we CAN - if we all work together - continue to work to educate, raise awareness, and help save the Western Lowland Gorilla. Or, we can choose to simply "move on" like the detractors have been suggesting. It's up to all of you. Especially you, Mr. Deters. If the mother had been paying attention to her son, she would have been able to stop him from entering the enclosure and Harambe wouldn't have been shot. She should be prosecuted or at the very least banned from the zoo for a lengthy period of time. She should be made to accept responsibility, for accepting responsibility is how we all learn from our mistakes and better ourselves. My sister has two children, a girl aged 3 and a boy aged 19 months, and I can assure you she is a much better parent than to let her kids play in a gorilla enclosure unsupervised. One of the main reasons our society is in the mess it's in is because there are individuals that don't take that responsibility. Let's hope that changes tomorrow and there's one mother that admits and acknowledges her role in the chain of events that led up to the death of Harambe. And a sincere message of sympathy for the loss of Harambe would be a good first step in healing wounds.
