I will run something up the flagpole. Sort of like making lemonade out of lemons.

Why don’t they barbeque the ape to help raise money for a new one. How much do you think people would pay for a barbeque ape sandwich? How much outrage would there be if they did so?

Perhaps a pledge drive for the body with two sides, the barbeque versus the burial. The largest total pledged amount wins the body.

I grew up on a farm so forgive me.

Darn. Read your post after doing mine.

Now we have to consider styles. Carolina, Texas, Memphis, Kansas City or other BBQ types.

Given how closely related humans are to gorillas, it's not such a great idea - any pathogen that could live in a gorilla has a good chance of being able to live in a human. At least one strain of the HIV virus is believed to have established itself in humans by the eating of monkeys or chimps.
