As bounty hunters with bush knives entrapped them in a circle and moved in for the kill, the only thing this mother orang-utan could think to do was to wrap a giant protective arm around her daughter.

Sad. I would prefer these idiots kill themselves over money. I have more sympathy for animals these days than most people.

We often call these folks animals, but that’s an insult to the animal kingdom, IMHO.

It’s really sad when you consider how evil most of the human race is. The vast majority of humans live in misery and bring nothing but misery. First world nations like America, Canada, parts of Europe, etc are rare beacons in an otherwise horrible world.

Seeing these islamic devils so gleeful in potentially hacking to death a defenseless animal really makes you wonder what the world has come to.
