Gorillas Eat Meat Too?

I think it is a matter of consciousness. The fact that animals eat animals is really the only part of Nature that is not beautiful, or at least I cannot see what is beautiful in it whereas everything else, there is so much beauty in. Even the self-defense mechanisms of Nature have a sort of a creative charm to them. My extrapolation is that higher consciousness does not consume meat because it places its own survival secondary to that of another, or at least it will find an alternative way to survive, never considering its own survival at the expense of its brothers and sisters.

I heard this long ago - 80s? Maybe 70s. Is it sad? It's nature. They are doing what they do. Nature is often far more cruel than humans. Fact: Many species eat their babies. Think about it....

Why are people so fragile of constitution these days? How did anyone ever believe those k9s where for anything other than meat? Why are so many so starkly against extinction when history suggests it natural? What wrong with you people?

Stop the madness? Hunting for sport? Why would you want to stop gorillas from eating meat? Did you even read the article?

I dont know why animals eat each other. it is so cruel. they all should be vegetarian or eat soil and mud.

Interesting, have heard this before as well. Some seem sad by this news but the animal world is complicated and nothing that happens really surprises me. Once saw a chicken eating a mouse, where the hen got it is beyond me but no doubt animals and birds can often eat from a variety of sources.

I've heard gorillas ate meat several times before.

I don't understand. What is "sad" about discovering something new? I'm sorry if this destroys your image of gorillas as some idyllic "gentle vegetarian giant", but to me this is extremely fascinating.

sad :(

omg this story is so sad i wish i was there to put a stop to this madnes.

I've never heard that gorillas eat meat.

 we should save all animals not kill them for sport or greed or money or anything.
