Clarification on the Gorilla Barbeque name change request

[Guest guest]

Let me clarify this. Gorilla Barbeque is the name of a new restaurant

in Pacifica that will be serving cows, pigs, chickens, etc. It is NOT

a vegetarian restaurnt. The name evokes images of Gorillas being

barbequed. And gorillas (and chimps and bonobos) ***ARE*** being

barbequed in Africa, endangering the future of their species to the

point of extinction by 2100 or sooner. There are many resources on

the internet for folks to educate themselves on the Bushmeat Crisis.

You can see pictures of murdered apes being cooked at

www.karlammann.com. You can google " bushmeat " and find all the

relevant information about the impending extinction of apes.

 

We can not make light of, or ignore, the plight of endangered apes.

Please contact the owners of Gorilla Barbeque and/or the Pacifica

tribune at pactrib and ask them to change the name.

 

It's bad enough we have to endure another dead-animal-restaurant but

one that bears a reference to an impending species extinction seems

particularly in need of a change.

 

Peace,

Amy
