"It is a ritual.

It certainly sounds like one.

[IncPen]

Bears, tigers, apes....

[JoeSchem]

But gorillas are known for their gentle treatment of babies and children.

They're probably right, gorillas are vegetarian, they aren't like tigers or human beings, they don't have a killer instinct. Although I would never do it myself, turning your daughter over to a gorilla is probably a lot less flakey than turning her over to an 'Undocumented Worker' -- which a lot of liberals in California don't hesitate to do as they skip off to their six-figure jobs.

Lock these two up......and never allow them to breed again.

Since they are young enough to be of breeding age, they are only proving what I have spouted for years:

We have gone out of our way to breed survival and good sense OUT of our offspring for the last 2 generations.

Like my Dad used to say: I have lived long enough....

[steelwheels]

Now this would be a "ritual"......"I'll probably give my wife to the dominant male who will take her off and introduce her to the others." YIKES!

[Cultural Jihad]

Another stupid stunt for the cameras:

[Dallas59]

It might not be so bad...except if they go to New York City....

[null and void]

That girl needs a slip.

Or even just some underwear.

Nope.

[paws_and_whiskers]

Both he and Miss Air approve of the plan and do not believe their daughter will be in any danger.

Remember this thread not too long ago:

A self-taught bear expert who once called Alaska's brown bears harmless was one of two people fatally mauled in a bear attack in the Katmai National Park and Preserve.

Another accident waiting to happen?

[Twinkie]

Problem is - that type usually sues.

Television presenter Donna Air

Just how many television presenters do they have over their. Every time I read about a British television star they're almost always described as a "television presenter."

[mhking]

You have got to be kidding!!!

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[ElectricRook]

Look at it as chlorine for the gene pool.

Thanks Raimus... I thought no one here believed in evolution any longer.

[Ramius]

I thought no one here believed in evolution any longer.

Within species? Of course... :-)

Beyond that... dunno. don't care. Wasn't there. I figure I'll find out soon enough. :-)

[wafflehouse]

wow! very nice 'assets' on 'Baby' there..

[3catsanadog]

What's the story on this? I missed it.

[lonestar]

I think I might prefer a gorilla over these "nuts" to take care of a baby.

[jslade]

These people should be euthanized!
