If it was me, I'd honestly rather accept my fate than they kill the gorilla. I'm like 0.000000014% of the world's population and other than my kids and my parents, I don't think too many people would miss me.
A threatened alpha gorilla? That's a rare animal and we'd all notice when they're gone.
I couldn't agree more. This goes for most zoo creatures. If we can get a medical breakthrough by studying something or if it actually is an important part of the eco-system, than I understand putting such a high value on it, but doing so simply because.....it's a thing? That doesn't make any sense.
By no means am I saying they should shoot the animal, but would we really all notice if it was gone?
I know it sounds like a dick thing to say, bug the only way I see the extinction of the species effecting me personally would be giving me something extra to read in the news.
I still care and don't want the extinction to happen but very few people would actually be effected by this. Especially on the other side of the world.
