    I love animals and such an advocate! However people support this but not pro-life. This amazes me. An animal over a human baby. Please keep doing what you do! 100% behind you all!

    Are you serious? They showed this picture like a week ago on another page and everyone was just talking about how fake that picture is, if you look at the bottom half of the gorillas nothing looks right haha

    Jane Goodall has spent her career protecting wildlife — and these are the reasons she has hope for our planet. 🌍

    I kept thinking this was fake because the gorilla on the left looks like a man in costume. I really didn’t know gorillas could stand like that :(

    Simple solution Arm the Rangers with better ammunition, high powered weapons, better technology and warfare training with licenses to kill on sight any a aggressive person who is a threat to the park or the lives of the Rangers and the animals
