If gorillas 98 % genetic humans, I wonder why no one ever calls them people?

❤️ there is still hope

wait till 55 yrs up in this .. crue?l kid you aint seen nothing

Yes this is very touching!!! 💖🙂This is my dream, and i love them so much 🐒💖💖💖🇳🇴.

@@shoulders-of-giants because they aren't Homo Sapiens, therefore not people.

Love❤

They are so beautiful in spirit❤️

There are times you can look into those eyes and see a beauty that is missing in many humans.

Of course, because apes share between 95-99% of our genetics. We are part of the same family. Besides chimpanzees and bonobos, they are our closest relatives.

Yes, exactly. Me too. Cried: moving, sad. Sad: they tamed and made friends with the animals. The gorillas must be a little lonely without them.

In the early ‘90’s in Florida, I had the marvelous experience of holding a baby gorilla. I’m not sure of his age, he was about the size of a 10 month old human baby on average. He had a diaper on, and sat cradled on my left hip with his arm around my neck. He was strong. I could smell his breath, not good! Lol. His eyes looked orange in the sunlight, little nostrils wet and shiny. His little fingers looked so human. He looked at me with such affection, it makes me cry even now. I held him for about 5 minutes, it was an experience I’ll never forget. They are truly beautiful creatures.

@@mchapman132 Ohhhh.. Thank you for writing about that. Great description: from breath to eyes to nostrils to arms around neck and all. Very touching. (The eyes in the sun..Amazing how you still remember it so well..)

@@cockeyedoptimista - I was an adult when it occurred. I hope I never forget the details, it was the experience of a lifetime.

@@mchapman132 A very moving experience you had. It's funny how we're so touched that they look like us: our distant cousins..

Not crying, as you say. Dust. Dust in both my eyes. Don’t know where it came from. I’m in my house. Lol.

what??? I really don't see what good they do. Taking up space, contributing nothing but scaring people and making movies, zoos and circuses. I was at a garage sale a few years ago and they had the hands of one of these things mounted on a long piece of cherry (wood) and they were set so that they could hold a gun! it was awesome and I don't know why I didn't buy that thing. oh well maybe one day will get the chance to blast one and make my own. Hopefully there is one of its offspring around so I can make one for my son's bb gun. I hope I get the chance, getting harder now with people acting like these are great creatures and bonding the great big monkey. I would like to take out a couple myself, really bond them together with a blast from some ot buchshot or a slug, you would want a slug only if you had a pump, a one shot break action 12 gauge slug would be a mistake. you miss, you have to reload. But with glorious buckshot, those bb's spread, you don' t ev e n have to be that accurate! and that is important with these goofy sob's! you miss and have to reload, you better be quick, unless you want to be torn to pieces by one of these filthy savage beasts! i thought that was what the video was! lol really. I thought it was tips for safely taking out a couple of these stinking things!

brought several to mine

@@shoulders-of-giantsbecause they might be 98% dna like us we still aren’t them fully we are a different ape

Everett Cox he’s one of my favorites too as is Kevin Richardson aka The Lion Whisperer ... if you haven’t heard of him got to his channel it’s incredible the relationships he has with all of the animals in his care. kzfaq.info

I could easily be a fan of DA. Exporting animals back to Africa?

Even the monke’s be like “return to monke”

+IronIvory That would be wonderful

+IronIvory never gonna happen

+IronIvory Well animals don't know Religion. Maybe it is just religion that seperates people from bonding well. If by all means Religion would be forbidden and we put the same effort in knowing your neighbours and close relatives. The world could be more humain. I don't think we know a world without religion. Will it work?

patrickdb09 Wow man, someone who actually thinks for himself. I like that a lot, and have to say I agree with you. Thanks for sharing!

+IronIvory and respect all life as these humans do.

+Carey R. Meltz People have a greater potential for awareness. We depress our awareness because we are nervous about what we see. In the process of depressing our awareness we lose some of our natural affection.

+Carey R. Meltz Acidosis from what we eat and narcissism?

+Bedlam Video LOL ...and a heaping tablespoon of self-entitlement.

Well said 😊😊😊

Not gonna be pessimistic but, we are more closely related to chimpanzees than gorillas. Chimpanzees are omnivores just like us (gorillas are herbivores, with occasional bug eating). Chimpanzees also participate in territorial wars, like us. Chimpanzees don't just kill other chimpanzees who enter their territory, they brutally dismember their entire body. Chimpanzees are super fucking cruel and they are more closely related to us than any other living animal. So perhaps it's not so strange that we humans also are cruel to others outside our tribe.

people who say things like that deserve to be tied to one of these filthy, freak monkeys and then be lit on fire as the things rips you apart as it tries to rip you to shreds. If that ever happens, and it most likely will, please post the video!

If the humans TRULY wanted to introduce the gorillas to the wild, they would NOT have come back and interjected themselves into their "wild" life.

@@SeniorLassy What the hell does it matter to you? We all live on this planet together, which means humans and animals can befriend one another, and even go visit our animal friends if we want to. You and your liberal views are pretty arrogant! Just because they are now wild, doesn't mean that they should NEVER intervene with them again. My God, such...DUH on your part! If you had a foster brother and one day he moved to another foster family, would you think "Oh, gee, well I better not interject myself into his life again because this was only temporary" so idiotic!

What a narcissist you are. So full of yourself

If gorillas 98 % genetic humans, I wonder why no one ever calls them people?

Like how one of the gorillas kept the baseball hay

Tell that to the Pope, whose religious doctrine regards animals as "thoughtless brutes" or "material" for human use.

@@carolames7624 Sadly this is how the few religions that I know describe animals

Religion is so cruel. It's the exact opposite of what it wants to be.

The only noise was coming from the human 🤦🏼‍♀️monkeys don’t have vocal cords

If gorillas 98 % genetic humans, I wonder why no one ever calls them people?

@@shoulders-of-giants That's because "98% same genes" argument lacks some critical information; it doesn't mean they're 98% the same as humans. If you've studied basic genetics you'd know what I mean. The point is, we even humans are different to each other but that's exactly what makes the human society unique and diverse. Being different is a beautiful thing.

Just beautiful.

Yes it truly is
