Zoo says gorilla didn't intend to start a knife fight

CALGARY - There's no gorilla warfare going on at the Calgary Zoo.
Photographs taken after a keeper accidentally left a knife in the zoo's gorilla enclosure appear to tell a menacing story. One shows a gorilla, named Barika, clutching the blade in her black, hairy hand, seemingly pointing the sharp end at an unsuspecting troop mate sitting nearby.
But zoo officials say the primates don't understand the idea of using weapons and were never in any real danger.
A keeper carried the paring knife into the enclosure to help prepare food for the gorillas, said Cathy Gaviller, the zoo's director of conservation, education and research.
He stuck the blade in his pocket, but it slid out unnoticed and was left behind.
Soon, a curious Barika stumbled across the shiny object and picked it up by the handle
Rest of story HERE.
You've all got to read the conclusion. I would've posted it but it was way too long. Now PETA and these goons from the zoo can try to reassure me all they want but the only reason the Animal Revolution didn't jump off was because the zookeeper had already gotten out of the cage. If not he would be a hostage. I'd say dead but as the brains behind the Animal Revolution the monkeys would've wanted a bargaining chip.
