The Man Who Kills The Animals Today

Gorillas Are Almost Altruistic In Nature. There's Very Little If Any 'me-itis.' When I Get Back To Civilization I'm Always Appalled By 'me, Me, Me.'

Active Conservation [of Gorillas] Involves Simply Going Out Into The Forest, On Foot, Day After Day After Day, Attempting To Capture Poachers, Killing-regretfully-poacher Dogs, Which Spread Rabies Within The Park, And Cutting Down Traps.

[about Gorillas] You Take These Fine, Regal Animals. How Many (human) Fathers Have The Same Sense Of Paternity? How Many Human Mothers Are More Caring? The Family Structure Is Unbelievably Strong.

I Shall Never Forget My First Encounter With Gorillas. Sound Preceded Sight. Odor Preceded Sound In The Form Of An Overwhelming, Musky-barnyard, Humanlike Scent. The Air Was Suddenly Rent By A High-pitched Series Of Screams Followed By The Rhythmic Rondo Of Sharp Pok-pok Chestbeats From A Great Silverbacked Male Obscured Behind What Seemed An Impenetrable Wall Of Vegetation.

When You Realize The Value Of All Life, You Dwell Less On What Is Past And Concentrate More On The Preservation Of The Future.
