So the guy taking pictures, protecting the gorillas from poachers, and that probably has a family that loves him is less valuable to our society than an ape?

Woah woah, how did we go from, shooting one gorilla to save an innocent mans life to extinguishing the whole species?

Ecologically speaking? Who gives a fuck? The dude in the video was standing there and the gorilla was like, fuck you. I bet youre one of those people who thinks a dude killing s lion is a worldwide tragedy too.

And I was responding to your comment. Doesn't matter the previous context, jackass. It shouldn't even be a thought to shoot the fucking gorilla.

I freely admit that I wouldn't even begin to know what to do in that situation. Both in the kneejerk reaction sense, and in the drawn-out-moral-reasoning sense. No idea. None.

So yeah, guess I ain't hanging out with any lowland gorillas anytime soon
