Hi Leslie, thank you for your follow up. To clarify my request, I am looking for all emails, tweets, calls, letters, comments, messages and any other communications internal and external sent and received regarding Harambe from the time of his death to the ensuing months. As you are well aware this event has garnered much social media attention, with many online responding to his death in a manner of ways, some being crude and insensitive in the subject. These outside communications, and the internal discussions that your organization made regarding the handling of said communications are of particular interest. Please include everything in the the city of Cincinnati database and the databases of any related organizations that would have the requested information.
