Congo: Maybe Now Someone Will Care

In a war that has seen some of the worst atrocities in modern history, pygmies massacred and roasted on spits, refugee children raped by UN workers in exchange for bread rations, people forced at gunpoint to cannibalize their own family members, all with no reaction in the U.S., we are now supposed to give a shit that a few gorillas were also shot. The sad thing is that this probably will gain more sympathy from our society than all the rest of it.

sometimes it takes another atrocity, such as the one against the gorillas, to get people to notice everything else that is going on...
