How many dead in Chicago over the Holiday weekend?
No one cares.
There is a small but very vocal group of people who place an animal's life above a human's, but they are a minority.
Was it not something like 60 dead this past weekend? One a 15 year old girl? Then again that’s a Democrat ran town so, “what difference does it make?”. Had it been 60 gorillas we’d be talking about it this same time next year.
What kind of wine goes with gorilla?
According to http://heyjackass.com/ 75 were shot, 7 died.
Three times as many shot as in the previous two years, but the number of dead roughly the same.
I’m sick of this story. A boy was in serious jeopardy of being mortally wounded and the threat, an animal was shot. End of story.
Sigh... the gorilla DID NOT MAUL THE BOY nor did it appear that it intended to, up to the point that it died.
It was other elements of the situation that put pressure upon it. The zoo might have been rather embarrassed that critters, of human or otherwise ilk, could so easily get into the gorilla exhibit. Getting the boy from even a friendly gorilla might have taken more time than anyone wanted, given that the boy had suffered a 15 foot fall. (How do you explain “emergency” to a great ape?)
I wish people were no worse than that gorilla, sometimes. We’d have a nicer society. Gorillas may be violent sometimes by instinct — but it takes a human to sin.
Co-worker said she saw on FB (wouldn’t know as I’m not on it) that someone posted “I think silverback gorillas are endangered and kids aren’t. They should’ve shot the kid.”
Yes, but the media agrees with them so this story goes on and on and on.
Coconut of course
#BLM... The most sardonic hashtag, EVAH!
Society murdered Socrates.
The primate has great company.
(How do you explain “emergency” to a great ape?)
Actually there could have been a move for that. Send in a woman zookeeper to take the boy, which Harambe well could have just handed over to her. Covered under the sniper, of course, in case the gorilla DID get violent. But there would have been a chance to save the gorilla. And it would prove that gorillas care not a whit for the modern madness known as gender neutrality.
millions of babies murdered. Who cares?
Grabbing the boy by the foot and rapidly dragging him 20 feet through the water doesn't count?
This event didn’t deserve the wall-to-wall 24/7 news coverage that it got. The only reason for the coverage was to divide people into warring groups.
The animal rights crowd against the humans. The people who think the mother is guilty of gross negligence and is to blame for the whole incident. The groups that think the zoo is responsible for not building better fences and want to sue it.
“Covered under the sniper, of course,”

If you are serious, I feel sorry for you.
Don’t worry, before they sent him to the big crematorium in the sky, they took whatever sperm they could. I’m sure they have a fridge full of his sperm. That’s what zoos are about.....M O N E Y......big bucks.
