This is wonderful! The gorillas at the zoo make me feel sad... you can see how much they are like us...it's too bad humans have destroyed so much...here's to the future, people!!

Imagine, only that 2% made us the most developed species on the whole world (in technical way).

If zoos could only turn around and make their facilities into sanctuaries where each and

every animal had way more space, bushes and trees and edible vegetation would be much

much better, and the people who look after them are humble godly people not just zoo

staff (as a job) directors and curators who truly, truly care about the animals and give them

their personal privacy at special times if you know what I mean - don't degrade their morals.

@bambikohaku than why the do you feel the need to correct my spelling if you know i meant. That is a douche bag move.

[bambikohaku]

@lilsm555 I'm sorry, friend, but I did not attack you. If you are going to abuse me in this manner I will not reply to you again. I wish for the universe to make love of your anger. Namaste

[lilsm555]

@bambikohaku thank you grammar nazi sorry i made a mistake asshole.

[bambikohaku]

@lilsm555 btw, I think you meant "their group"?

[bambikohaku]

@lilsm555 " they were there not because of the destruction of the environment but because they were in danger of dying" this is the information I refered to earlier. Can you please cite references, post links or otherwise inform us as to the nature of the danger these gorillas were saved from in your opinion?

[lilsm555]

@bambikohaku My comment towards you was about what you said "the gorillas at the zoo make me feel sad" and my point was they were there not because of the destruction of the environment but because they were in danger of dying so they were rescued and saved. they probably have no opportunity to return to there group so why send them back to nothing.

[bambikohaku]

@lilsm555 Can you expand on that? Sorry but it seems to me like you just reiterated the conversation? I think I understand what I said. Maybe you can explain to me(and everyone else) with references about how you mean that zoo gorillas are mostly "rescued", but not because of anything to do with where they were rescued from? What is it that your information has stated they are being rescued from?

[lilsm555]

@bambikohaku you said gorillas in the zoo make you sad they were in the zoo because in their natural environment they would of died hence being rescued it has nothing to do with the environment being destroyed.

[bambikohaku]

@lilsm555 well and I guess if they weren't in danger they wouldn't need to be rescued...but what do I know...please, tell me more!
