Maybe if people would quit giving stupid zoo creatures names, they wouldn’t get so emotionally attached and ascribe human characteristics to dumb animals.
Of course you shoot the gorilla. End of story.
What you said.
If they had not shot the gorilla, and watched in horror as the gorilla tore the baby limb from limb, they would be all up in arms that no one shot the gorilla.
They just want to make drama either way.
Yes we need to be more realistic about animals as a society and not give them human characteristics. Children need to be taught the truth about animals and have a realistic view of them. People need to understand the difference between domestic animals and wild animals too. I had neighbors for a while that would feed coyotes dog food on their porch, they learned a real lesson when a coyote they were feeding- and had named, ate their little dog.
I am truly an animal lover, doesn’t mean I would trust all animals with my life.
Zoos are archaic and barbaric anyway. There’s no need for them anymore. Kids can learn about the animals through multimedia, without any need to sentence some poor animal to jail for life.
