The great apes are beings, just as humans are. You don't kill an ape, you murder it. Humans are bad animals sometimes, but this ranger is a true hero.

The same can be extended to all sentient beings. Not just the ones who are most human. All animals have love and fear.

I help translate a newsletter for an NGO working at gorilla conservation and I translate lots of stuff about Virunga gorillas. It's really nice for me to see this image. Really nice to see the faces (gorilla's and park ranger's) that are routinely described in the articles. Great to see pure care and bond as a bubble of love in the middle of all the threats and horrors there.

Today my 91 yr old neighbour came crying to me because his dear dog suddenly died and he asked me to help him. I ran to little Jack who had no pulse but was warm and tried to resuscitate him to no avail. We cried so much together. It was heartbreaking. But he thanked me for trying. I honestly tried my best. Sorry if this upsets anyone. :(
