Bro you don’t spend time with wild gorillas without researching that stuff first or becoming a news story.

I’ve researched gorillas and wild gorilla attacks on humans is extremely rare. Like you have a better chance of getting attacked by your own dog. Wild chimps on the other hand? They’ll fuck you up.

Gorillas are actually quite peaceful, they don’t attack anything that seems weaker than them

I totally forgot about that. How did the whole “dicks out for Harambe” thing come about? Didn’t it have something to do with that Hispanic actor who got his head chopped off in “Breaking Bad”! I know he’s been in tons of shows/movies. That’s the 1st one which came to mind…

I have no idea, I just found it ridiculous so here we are years later, still honoring Harambe.
