  1. Great, now poachers know where to go to kill them off too. Good job everyone.

  2. Exactly. How stupid. And enforcement will be lax because now there are "so many of them".

    WAKE UP!

  3. Oh, My! Another error by environmentalist/animal rights wackos. Things aren't as dire as they protray. Cant find 200000 gorillas in the jungle if it doesn't suit their purpose. Maybe they were hiding in caves when the census people came to count them and just didn't answer the door. ;)

    how is this discovery an error?
    and why the ad hominem attack on animal rights activists or environmentalists?
    i guess if you cant debate the issues, you just call them names until you feel better, eh?
