05/31/16: Death of a Silverback

Audio By Carbonatix

THIS SO-CALLED CONTROVERSY OVER THE DEATH OF A SILVERBACK GORRILLA, AN ENDANGERED SPECIES TO BE SURE, IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WITH NO CAUSE TO ESPOUSE, TO GET ONE HANDED TO THEM.  AND THE SCREAMING TO CRIMINALLY CHARGE THE PARENTS OF THE FOUR YEAR OLD BOY WHO CAUSED IT ALL IS AS OUTLANDISH AS THE BILGE POURING OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS.  ASK ANY PARENT WHO HAS RAISED A CHILD THROUGH THE THREE AND FOUR YEAR OLD STAGE.  I PROPOSE, THAT GIVEN ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT ALL, A THREE OR FOUR YEAR OLD CAN FIND A WAY TO GET INTO OR OUT OF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.  AND THE GORILLA?  IT IS A SHAME THAT A SPECIES LIKE THE SILVERBACK GORILLA IS SO THREATENED.  YOU CAN THANK THE POACHERS.  IT IS ALSO A SHAME THAT THESE ANIMAL WEENIES TRY TO HUMANIZE EVERY ANIMAL THEY SEE.  A WOMAN TRIEDTO ACTUALLY PET A GREAT WHITE SHARK BECAUSE  OF A TUNA COMMERCIAL.  SHE BECAME LUNCH.  A WOMAN TRIES TO PET A POLAR BEAR BY CLIMBING INTO ITS CAGE BECAUSE IT’S  SO  CUTE AND ADORABLE AND THREATENED BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING.  SHE BECAME LUNCH FOR SEVERAL BEARS.  A SILVERBACK GORILLA AND A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY CAN TURN TRAGIC IN SECONDS, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND WITHOUT ANY  BAD INTENTIONS OF THE GORILLA.  THE ZOO DID THE RIGHT THING.  WHAT WOULD WE BE TALKING ABOUT IF THEY HADN’T.  I’M JOHN MCCULLOCH
