SC: Gorilla Injures 1 During Escape at Zoo - 06-13-09

COLUMBIA, S.C. (June 12) - A 390-pound gorilla grabbed some low-hanging bamboo to scale a wall at a South Carolina zoo Friday, escaping his enclosure and tackling a worker before returning to his pen about five minutes later.
The gorilla at Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens ran into a pizza-stand employee who curled up and played dead to try to avoid further injuries, officials said. The man, who works for Aramark Corp., was taken to a hospital and released a short time later with cuts and bruises.

If you have ever sat quiet and observed gorillas, or other animals, and at the same

time observed humans' behaviour and their facial expression, you would find it

very disturbing. Animals normally have pleasing, symetrical faces, whereas humans have unsymetrical and often very disturbing expressions. Most humans' eyes display apathy with a liking to tease, ridicule, and degrade, and even worse which is most disturbing to any non-human animal. Proof of humans is shown

in their stupid comments.
