To: decimon
Nope. Ain’t sayin’ it. Wouldn’t be prudent.

I wouldn’t advise breaking into their apartment.

Having a pet gorilla is one of my fantasy pets.
If it weren’t for all the shiat that would be laying about my place...

Just wait till some fool decides to break into their house in the middle of the night.

Well at least we have an answer to the question “Where does a gorilla sleep?”

Unfair to the gorilla and also unfair to the neighbors of these people. As far as I know, gorillas aren’t as aggressive as chimpanzees but are even more powerful. As much as these people might believe this gorilla is a loving member of the family, it’s still an undomesticated animal with far more intelligence than any pit bull and enough strength to tear an entire NFL team limb from limb. All it takes is one bad afternoon some day and this gorilla can perform more carnage than a small bomb.

I had the MOver/Under for this thread at 4, but you were probably wise ;)

I dunno. If you look at the photo, the three seem to be on the same page about life. British life, anyway, with a stiff upper chin.

Kinda like the mooselimb that killed his entire family and others on Christmas day? This animal might be dead if not for these caring people but instead it has experienced love and affection and what seems to be a quality life. Many primates live long and fulfilling lives with their humans.
To: decimon
Gorillas have some language skills and self awareness. My worry is if she suffers some mental or emotional confusion ala Alzheimer's with age.
In the meantime, anyone who breaks in to that place will discover how massively strong a gorilla is compared to a human (ie, about 8x).

"Well at least we have an answer to the question “Where does a gorilla sleep?” " That still leaves the question about what he does in the woods...or...is that a bear?

Judging by what I've seen them do in zoos, they fling it at people for fun.
