Gorillas in the Midst ***

Both cases presented this evening are interesting to watch but the conclusions in both of them were quite obvious.

Despite what animal activists would say, we can't great human treatment to any animal no matter how intelligent that animal is. The fact remains that we never know how an animal is going to react in front of people. Would our activists like to be confronted with such animals in an elevator as an example?

The second case involved a vigilante woman coming out of an abusive marriage who takes it upon herself to beat up other wife abusers. While she might feel that this is admirable, we cannot allow society to justify such actions. There is no telling what could happen.

Harry along with Tommy Jefferson and the others always argue their cases with such passion. This is due to the great acting we see here week after week.
