Were killing our kin, basically.

Its horrible.

I can see humans killing off all the Gorillas in the not too far off future. I can see us looking back on this picture in a 100 years (when lay people have a better understanding of evolution and our relationship to these animals) and being so ashamed. How could have we treated these animals so horribly? How could we be so stupid?

And yes, somebody mentioned that seeing a picture like this with Gorillas hurts more than seeing one with humans. I tend to agree, and my reasoning is exactly as mentioned; there are so few Gorillas left, so each one counts as so much more.

This picture breaks my heart.
