It isn't bad enough there is bullying on the schoolyard among children, and among adults in the workplace, (and no, dolls, I am NOT talking about the theater; that jungle operates by a different set of rules altogether!!!!!!!!!!!!) but now it extends to innocent animals. I have no idea of the name of the gorilla at the Dallas Zoo, where this all took place, but on the basis of the creature's meritorious actions, I am going to call him Hero.
Poor Hero was not bothering anybody. He was just going about his business, in his man created environment, being gawked at by spectators, which is nothing to him. Except that a group of obnoxious school children, I would say between the ages of eight and ten, showed up and began teasing poor Hero, mercilessly. They banged repeatedly on the glass wall separating them (lucky that was secure, loves!!!!!!!!!!!) and shouting out things like "You're ugly!"
No one should be subjected to this kind of abuse, darlings; not even lovable Hero. But he did something about it. He sat there calmly, biding his time, and then, when the kids did not suspect a thing, he leapt at the glass wall, hands spread and growling. Did that scare them, and some of them ran!!!!!!!! Then he turned tail, and flashed his man butt at them!!!!!!!!!!! You can bet they will never forget this visit. Lucky he did not break through or some of those kids might have been lunch, while others would have had their necks snapped!
And it would have served them right! Picking on a poor, innocent gorilla!!!!!!!! Well, Hero, I am with you all the way--and I think you are cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As do all my girls on here! We love you, Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
