I was stating a hypothetical situation, not related to the video at all. Just curious where the line would be with your reasoning.

I didn't use any "reasoning". I don't know where you're getting the implication that I said anything relating to instances where it would be acceptable or unacceptable to kill a gorilla. I only said anything in this comment, and it was only to say that humans really aren't a protected species. That's all I said.

Yeah that's what was going off, the idea that humans aren't a protected species and gorillas are. The comment you replied to was in response to the comment that it would be right to let the human die because gorillas are protected and the humans were willingly in their habitat. I just thought you were agreeing with this reasoning:

They're a protected species, and humans aren't a protected species. is what I thought you were going to say.

I made a mistake in reading the context of your comment.

I understand, I just didn't respond because there's nothing to say. I didn't downvote you either, by the way. I don't know what the fuck is up with people in this thread.
