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.
What kind of wine goes with gorilla?
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.
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.”
Society murdered Socrates.
The primate has great company.
millions of babies murdered. Who cares?
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.
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.
A gorilla that kills a black child would qualify for a Planned Parenthood award — so it’s no surprise that people would place more value on the life of the gorilla in that situation.
All it tells me is we’re at the top of the food chain.
How many women and children were killed and have been killed in the Sudan of late?
In this country we tend to put a very high premium on human life whereas in the rest of the world it is relatively cheap.
I keep thinking there was a better way to handle that incident with the Gorilla. Perhaps if they had cleared out all of the shouting spectators, put out some food, maybe spiked with some drugs, calmed that gorilla down you could have had another outcome. All the footage I saw seemed to indicate that Gorilla was trying to care and protect that child. Of course that does not mean much I guess.
Have you noticed that virtually every TV commentator of whatever persuasion is using the word "tragic" in referencing this incident? This is self-serving, of course....voiced to show the folks what great animal lovers they are.
Actually, the utilization of this word in this gorilla event is actually another liberal debasement and misuse of the English language.....one of their tactics.
A "trigger word" is a word carefully inserted to automatically raise emotions to a high level. In this case, "tragic" is the trigger word.
I don't feel at all that this "loss" is "tragic". I have not gone into mourning.
The loss of the animal was "unfortunate", perhaps.....an "unhappy accident", perhaps.....even "sad", maybe.....but "TRAGIC", nope.
In nature, large and small animals kill each other all the time, and always have. Is each death a "tragedy"?
Nazi death camps were tragedies, 9/11/01 was an American tragedy, recent horrendous plane crashes have been tragedies, genocidal annihilation of Christians by muslim fanatics is a tragedy, the beheadings of Americans have been tragedies.
This gorilla event has caused the PETAs, the permanently outraged, the perpetually-emotional, the professional activists, the ANIMALS FIRST/HUMANS SECOND crazies and the slavering media to pervert another very precise word in our language into a non-descriptive, handy-dandy liberal-speak word....and such alteration of the meaning of words is in itself a ongoing tragedy.
Too many folks are losing all sense of proportion in their choices of words.
