A friend just sent me this last night and this ties in with the last post. Humans and animals. You can't help but be moved by this video. This group of gorillas treat this human with respect and curiosity - sure, the male gorilla could break this man in half but his intentions seem more to keep the kids in line while they check out the human curiosity. And I can't help but think of how humans repeatedly fail when it comes to respecting other life forms. From horrific factory farming conditions to abusing a family pet, we seem to not lack for new and innovative ways to abuse our fellow life forms. And then you have this flip side, a species that could literally rip us apart but they choose to simply groom the mans hair and remove a twig from it. Truly a magnificent mammal and watching them I couldn't help but feel shame - shame that we aren't a better species. Perhaps with time that will come - I always wonder how many generations out it will take before the population is horrified at how we USED to treat animals. "They used to fight what?" Watch, enjoy and keep wagging!
