"They [gorillas] are brave and loyal. They help each
other. They rival elephants as parents and whales for gentleness. They
play and have humor and they harm nothing. They are what we should be. I
don't know if we'll ever get there.
...You have to love animals for what they are or leave
them alone. The best thing you can do for them if you love them is leave
them alone and see that other people do too.
...Wild animals are not meant to be owned, any more than
human beings are. Nobody has the right to pass a cougar or a gorilla on
from hand to hand."
