We share with Gorillas at least 98 percent of our genes- with Bobonos and Chimps 99.4 percent, but will still behave as they are mindless stubborn creatures. They aint. If you ever heared of Koko and the meanwhile unfortunately deceased Michael you already know that Gorillas do remember, feel deeply love and speak-even trough they don't use spoken words but gestures(as in the wild-Every ASL speaking person will be happy to hear that was once as well our native language)So how could we kill our brothers for meat and war, treat them in labs for our own goods or train them for doing funny things. If you keep in mind that Koko can communicate and paint and has an IQ of 95(what is in normal range Britney Spears has 103 or so...) You can't deny that APES ARE PERSONS.
The last remaining wild apes(not especially just the Gorillas but as well Bonos, Chimpanzies Urang-Utans and as well our more distand cousin, the gibbons) do need our help desperately. I mean that. The humankind are billions but all other of our kin are just around 350.000 alltogether.
I see there are millions ofhuman children dying every day especially in the third world. Millions of humans have a miserable life- but over this we shouldnt forget our Furry brothers.Remembering that we kill ourself as well, while destroying the rainforrest of our world sooner or later.
Gorillas where- among elephants and serveral other some animals for reasons my favorite wild animal(and the rumour is right I never seen one with my own eyes as I can remember back- just on TV)
If you feel to help you can inform yourself on serveral pages at the Internet. WWF, Grasp, Koko.org or Gorillas org would be a good adress to start. Inform yourself
THank you for your patience
