So let's see if I understand this:

Some of the smartest people in the world lost 150,000 gorillas for 20 years.

You sure they're not just people waiting for the traffic to clear at O'Hare?

You know, the AIDS/HIV virus originated in central African wild chimpanzees. After the AIDS virus made the jump from wild chimpanzees to humans, it killed millions of people in a worldwide epidemic that is still raging, and that so far has cost trillions of dollars in treatment efforts, research efforts, etc. Its more than likely that the great apes harbor other deadly viruses that might one day make the jump to humans.

If humans were a totally rational species, the most rational thing we could do would be to keep a small population of each species of great ape in isolated capitivity for future research purposes, and exterminate all the wild populations of all the great ape.

Before you tell me I'm crazy, let me reassure you I'm not serious. It's just something to think about the next time some environmental whack job starts rapsidizing about wild gorillas.

Wait a minute there buddy.....I thought I read in the Daily Defender that White scientists created the aids virus and spread it to the black man. Are you saying this is not true ????

Anyhow , I'm on the wrong blog, I thought this one had something to do with R. KELLY..........

hungry doggy, What are you talking about, you must have the mentality of a lowland ape, maybe we should put you in a cage and i would say study you but it sounds like there isnt anything upstairs to study.
