The animals we see in our local zoos are very different from the animals that we actually have living in the area. Most of the animals that live in the zoo are very exotic and are found in different places around the world. We may not think these animals are strange but the natives of early america did when the europeans brought over the local animals that live in their area.

Many animals that were in early america actually originated in Europe. These animals include large dogs, cats, chickens, horses and other livestock. These animals changed the way that the natives lived both positively and negatively. Because these animals were foreign to the natives many diseases started to form and kill the natives. It had no effect on the settlers because they were already used to these animals but the different diseases that formed almost wiped out the entire native population. These diseases include malaria, smallpox, and measles.

Although we remember the positives of animals; transportation, food, and productivity, the outcome of bringing them to the new world almost caused the genocide of the native american population. This is what primarily caused the native americans to loose power during early america.


Here is a link to a website that has a good article.  They author talks about lowering the voting age to 16 so young Americans can have more of a choice in our future. I agree with the author. He uses the example that Jefferson feared blacks like current politicians fear lowering the voting age. If we are going to make a difference, then we should be allowed to chose our future.

Harambe was was and will be forever remembered as a historic icon. Today Harambe also represents the innocence that is wrongly judged and persecuted. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time. However, he had no other choice. He was made to live in an artificial world that he did not create and did not want.

The situation for Harambe can be seen as a metaphor for many situations in America. Many disaffected youth today believe that they were put into a world that they cannot control and did note make.  Global warming, failed inner cities, fracking, the National debt, the war on terrorism all began before many of us were born.   They are things that happen that the youth of America cannot control.

Harambe was killed because others with the power thought they were doing what was best. That is the same with the current elections. However, those actions had bad consequences for Harambe.  He was killed just because he was being who he was meant to be but in an artificial world.

What happens to the youth of America if the press, the big money companies, and the politicians are wrong? The youth of America who can't vote are just like Harambe.  We have no control to make changes in this artificial world that was created for us. We all are Harambe. We must be freed from out cages and be set free to be happy.  Our zookeepers need to realize that we just want to be free to be ourselves.

Please don't lead us down the same path as Harambe. Build a better jungle and set us free. We don't belong in this zoo.

Hello. Always Remember. Always Mourn. Bye Everyone.
