This video didn't please me, I detest seeing wild animals caged for our pleasure.
All you commenters just see the bigger picture - a highly intelligent sentient being behind bars having every second of their life ogled and manipulated. I don't understand why people think it's acceptable to cage wild animals who should be living in the jungle or roaming the plains. A life in prison. Humans are nothing more than savages inflicting such cruelty.
I certainly DONT think it’s acceptable to put animals in zoos unless the zoo is something like Gerald Durrells jersey zoo. I think most people would accept this Anon, you missed the nuance of the video Watch it carefully It’s another species , just enjoying a meal For me it’s as basic and as wonderful as that
You deleted my comment because you wouldn't answer my question which was - the gorilla is in a metal cage, do you find that acceptable?
Therefore I assume you do in fact find it acceptable But you'd already endorsed that anyway by putting up the video in the first place. The metal bars are clearly seen behind the gorilla. You as a human can choose what you want to do and eat, the gorilla, being caged can not. There is also a difference between gorillas in such a situation and gorillas on a reserve, the fact that you think a metal cage is acceptable then you've lost my respect and you've lost a reader.
Anon Look above you I have quite clearly stated I do not find zoos acceptable whatsoever ( except for the jersey zoo which is a conservation centre of excellence) If you have read this blog for any length of time you would realise that animal welfare is my priority You obviously chose to ignore my comment wanting more of an argument where no argument was needed or offered. The gorilla may be in a zoo, he may, for all we know be in some rehab facility ... I am not condoning a caged gorilla, I was just simply celebrating his enjoyment of a piece of fruit. That was my agenda here in this blog entry How dare you put words into my mouth and say that I think a metal cage is acceptable How dare you! Now fuck off , because I have no respect for anyone who presumes they know what someone else thinks and believes
Well, I enjoyed it for the gentleness of the powerful animal and the obvious pleasure it was taking in carefully eating that pomegranate... pips and all.

This might be the only pleasure this guy gets living in captivity. (It makes me sad.) It is not pleasant sitting across from a person that eats like a gorilla. Occasional accidents are unavoidable and very much understood...but there is a limit.
Mmm mmm! Gobble gobble-yes please x(is that so John?)x
ReplyDeleteWas that a taco? Who woulda' thunk gorillas like Mexican food?
ReplyDeleteAnd love “ he” certainly is
DeleteI found watching him incredibly moving
I know. You're going to the zoo today, to join a Chimp's Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteThat I would never do cro, even as a child I hated animals performing
DeleteMe too; abhorrent.
DeleteHow interested he/sh was in the fruit he/she was eating. Enjoy the small things in life.
ReplyDeleteparsnip xx
You’re a fan of pomegranates?
ReplyDeleteI am indeed x
Deletetoday is thursday. all mammals eat.
ReplyDeleteThe simple pleasures are the best. He is thoroughly enjoying that piece of fruit. I feel good for him (or her?).
ReplyDeleteGot it Bonnie
DeleteI really love, watching anything , animal and human who really enjoy their food.
Shift worker malaise.
ReplyDeleteA bit of that Andrew....
DeleteIt's a powerful reminder that animals are conscious too (or, to put it another way, that we're animals).
ReplyDeleteAnd that they all have, like us, sensations and emotions. I actually find this little snippet terribly moving.
DeleteYes Raymondo , I’m glad you “ get it”
DeleteIt was my thoughts exactly
It's always a joy to watch animals enjoying a treat. I love watching my chickens stripping their daily greens or going crazy to get at a treat.
ReplyDeleteWe all know someone who eats like that 😀
ReplyDeletePure enjoyment; total concentration on the lovely fruit...not thinking about the next thing he's got to do. Or possibly she!
ReplyDeleteI adored it in the same way
DeleteLike looking in the mirror? :)
ReplyDeleteSimple pleasures, he's really enjoying his tasty snack :-)
ReplyDeleteI love his yum yum noises and the way he keeps looking ar his sandwich - in such a human way.
ReplyDeleteI love the noises he makes. He's cute. I'd date him.
ReplyDeleteLol I’ve dated worse
DeleteI heard today that they only discovered the existence of gorillas in 1902.
ReplyDeleteI love the way his expression doesn't change as he chomps on those pithy bitter yellow bits of his pommegranate.
ReplyDeleteOne hairy boy l would love a cuddle with, bet he wouldn't cuddle ne back though, 'spesh if he thought l was after his pommegranate.

This is not the case most definitely of Monkey World in Dorset and other various sanctuaries throughout the world-they save and protect many primates
DeleteI certainly DONT think it’s acceptable to put animals in zoos unless the zoo is something like Gerald Durrells jersey zoo.
DeleteI think most people would accept this
Anon, you missed the nuance of the video
Watch it carefully
It’s another species , just enjoying a meal
For me it’s as basic and as wonderful as that

Isn't it Blursday, 272nd of March? One happy Gorilla,
ReplyDeleteLip smacking good.
ReplyDeleteOur twin grandsons have the same reaction to eating fruit. They love it so much, the sound effects and reactions.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is . . . a pomegranate?
ReplyDeleteWe all be so committed to our treats.
ReplyDeleteWonder what he is thinking?
I did the same thing with a slice of juicy pineapple and had lips that looked botoxed afterwards x
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of you drinking from your coffee bucket in the morning.x
ReplyDeleteI dribble more
DeletePure and simple satisfaction. Yum. All is well, satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteYes, what fun.
ReplyDeleteWell, I enjoyed it for the gentleness of the powerful animal and the obvious pleasure it was taking in carefully eating that pomegranate... pips and all.
ReplyDeleteAMSR
ReplyDeleteBecause you LOVE pomegranates!
ReplyDeleteBecause it's pure fun. And he/she is enjoying themselves!!
ReplyDeleteHe seemed to really enjoy the fruit eating much as we humans can do.
ReplyDeleteBaby boomers are either going to die of the corona-virus, or will get abused in retirement homes. And you boomers deserve this for destroying your own children's future, your own children's lives. Look in the mirror. You baby boomers are extremely evil people.
ReplyDeleteThe total concentration!
ReplyDeleteI love his enthusiasm the pure enjoyment of the moment he is not so different from us.
