Needless Slaughter of Mountain Gorillas in the Congo: Another Feather in Humanity's Cap

July 26th 2007 18:37
Not much to say here. I think this article from MSNBC speaks for itself, as does this picture:



Good job to whomever cares to take the credit for this deed. You've managed to commit an act so atrocious, repugnant and devoid of sense that I'm left nearly speechless. Not an easy feat.

*sigh*

They are such intelligent beasts, I have nothing to say about this either.

Winston,

This is incredibly sad, man's inhumanity to beast. The beast here demonstrates its superiority, having been found in a defenceless position by the 'human' who perpetrated this atrocity.

No doubt the people responsible were cowards. Let's see them engage in an even contest.

They'd run like curs.

I, too, am speechless and sad. May rough justice punish these people for their deeds.

Such a barbaric act. I can't believe such mentality still exists. That looks like a family?! Oohhhh...I can't look at it again to confirm...

I've never been fond of harming animals. Even little insects. A friend of mine used to torture lizards. Sadly enough, I played along.

What the bloody hell are some people thinking...well they're obviously not are they?

I'm beyond words...

This is awful. 'Gorilla`s in the Mist' is a movie that has stuck in my mind from the moment I saw it... and sadly little has been done in all that time to stop the killing.

Such a civilized sort, we humans.

Disgusting! I hope the people who did this face gorillas with guns in the special hell reserved for them.

It's just so senseless. I'm no PETA member. I like animals, but I'm not what anyone would deem an animal-lover (although I do love a good steak). But this.....man, it really makes me think a little less of human beings as a species.

Apes are so obviously intelligent, I can't imagine anyone thinking of them in the same vein as a cow or a squirrel. I could no sooner kill a gorilla unprovoked than I could kill a person. Even worse, their population teeters on collapse. Their population numbers are so terribly low not because nature is selecting them for failure, but because of the actions of humankind. We (humans) already have a pretty large burden to carry for our numerous egregious acts over the course of our history. If we snuff out these creatures, the closest relative we have, we'll have another trinket to add to our bundle of shame.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. It's a sad thing to have to talk about.

I read a conspiracy theory on another blogsite about how this particular group of gorillas were getting so intelligent, they had set up an anti-Creationist, Dawinian school in the local treetops, funded by the local government, and were crucified by pro-life Christian guerillas on their day off from protesting outside abortion clinics, and the people in the background were upset because they paid good money to get their children educated. The IRA have denied any involvement, and believe Mel Gibson is responsible by disguising his film crew as a bunch of Muslim Terrorists disguised as Christians in a publicity grab for his film Apocalypto being released on DVD.

This type of mindless atrocity makes me so angry, I want to give up blogging, and go to the Congo to do something about it. If I wans't so tied up with disproving Darwin's Theory of Evolution, I would.

I just want to know WHY

Comment by Winston

Who knows, Kleo? No good reason, that's for certain. If they'd done it for food, or even to sell parts to exotic collectors, I would at least understand it (even while finding it grotesque). But this seems to have just been for sport, and that sort of senseless waste is beyond my ability to understand.

No one should be hunting ANYTHING just for sport. While not a huntsman, I do fish and take only what I can eat. I can also see the hunters side if he/she goes deer or moose hunting (et al) to put food on the table. But to do it just for sport? No way! If you have a hide, pelt or skin left over, okay, stuff it or sell it, but at least eat the meat. Now that I've pissed off PETA yet again, I'm going to take a break, lol.

You ranter -
Im with you buddy. I love animals but I still eat them. To hunt for something youre going to eat is a mystical connection with nature - to hunt for sport is just glorified murder.
