There are many reasons why it is good for you as a business to be socially aware. If you recall, last week there was quite an uproar over a death of a gorilla in a popular zoo.

This sparked much uproar for animal rights activists and many people debated the ethics of the decision to kill an animal out of fear of what it could do to a young child.
