how are people not alarmed at the fact a gorilla can communicate using sign language?

Why is that alarming?

presents a moral question, at least to me at least

if something can communicate with humans, that clearly shows that it thinks and has an inner monologue

if so, why doesn't it have the same rights humans do?

someone could kill that gorilla with little repercussion

Because we don't know if it does have an inner monologue

How can you know for sure that the gorilla is saying anything at all?

Let alone thinking

cause it speaks using sign language

and can also make omelettes

I know

It is highly possible that it is just making funny shapes with it's hands for a reward

scary right

You talking about koko?

probs ye

The issue really boils down to whether or not the gorilla really understands what it is doing

Is this really a self aware gorilla?

Or is it no different than a well trained dog?

there is a possibility it does though

yes

if so, should it have human rights?

It's not a human though

but it thinks on the same level as a human

If gorillas begin to become self aware we have a lot more issues to talk about

they may be self aware etc. but thye exist as a seperate species from us. They would treat us very differently and do treat us very differently and as an invasive species. Gorillas can kill a human rip them to shreds with absolutely no repercussion and no remorse

much like the rest of nature which is to some degree even self aware etc.

they can all think but the way and plane of thinking is so different and it has absolutely no room for us

Who would win a silverback gorilla or a brown bear? Serious question

Ah fuck

In most cases the bear would

depends on the environment

whilst both of them can climb, in most situations the silverback could probably climb and make the bear come to it

bruh a fucking monkey

then knock it down

do you know how heavier

than a bear is

a monkey

takes more than the weight of a gorilla to take down a tree
