'Sexist' gorilla being kicked out of Dallas Zoo
Patrick, a 23-year-old Western lowland gorilla who was born in the Bronx Zoo in 1990, has nipped at female apes he was to mate with and even bit one, and has belittled others. Patrick will be transferred to the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia, S.C.
A "sexist" male gorilla at Dallas Zoo is being evicted and sent for therapy after he bit one female companion and belittled others.
Patrick — a 430-pound Western lowland born at New York's Bronx Zoo in 1990 — will be moved to Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia, S.C., according to ABC 27.
It's hoped that his new bachelor pad at the resort known for helping primates with behavior problems will bring out his softer side.
Bosses in Dallas said the cranky 23-year-old ape gets along fine with humans, but not with other gorillas.
When he was paired up with females to breed, he instead bit one and nipped at others.
He only had one male pal — Jabari — but he was shot dead in 2004 after escaping and injuring three people, according to the Dallas News.

No therapy for this one ...
I bet he has a drinking problem, and eats potatoes.

I guess next they’ll call him a homophobe if he doesn’t want to sodomize other male apes.
