Of course not.. would not last long in the wilds of Bangkok. I was thinking she could be given to some zoo with far superior facilities for her.... surprised to read she is the only gorilla in Thailand... she is in need of company. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly post - there are lot's of Gorilla organisations with wonderful facilities. To even think of intimating "no choice' is absurd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Why don't Thais boycott this shopping center ? That would soon get some action to re-house the ape in a more friendly controlled animal reserve .... I guess as usual, thai's don't care. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
