If you haven’t noticed, some of Simpson’s sidewalks are getting a bit of tender, loving care. But as one freshman saw, the moment was nothing less than opportune.

They just poured new cement for the second time this week and this is what someone wrote 😂 #SimpsonCollege pic.twitter.com/4l9vvfUxFz

Of course, Harambe was the 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla gunned down in May after a 3-year-old boy fell into the enclosure at the Cincinnati zoo, sparking national coverage and, as expected, widespread outrage.

In response to the vandalism, Simpson College officials had the perfect response:

@Gunnar57Davis Although we do not approve of vandalism, rest in peace my sweet prince

In the end, Harambe’s name was covered up, but he will always be in our hearts.
