Gorilla named Patrick evicted from Dallas Zoo and sent to therapy for sexist attitudeA male gorilla is leaving Dallas Zoo to have therapy after
he bit one female gorilla and sneered at others.Patrick, a 195-kilogram Western lowland gorilla, will be moving to the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia, South Carolina, where he will live the bachelor life in his own digs.
The South Carolina zoo is known for working with gorillas with behavioural problems.
Dallas Zoo officials said Patrick gets along fine with humans but not with other gorillas.
They said they have repeatedly tried to get him to socialise with the other gorillas, particularly the females, in the hope that he might get along and even breed.
Instead, he bit one female and sneered and nipped at others.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-24/patrick-the-male-gorilla-to-have-therapy-for-sexist-attitude/4976936----------------------------------------------------
Calling a gorilla "sexist" is, at best, insane. Talk about projecting one's values on somebody else - - this spans
species.
In another article in cyberworld, 'the female he bit may not have known gorilla etiquette'. She was raised by humans when young and apparently didn't get the memo.
He acts like an animal 'cause....GOSH! maybe he is one?
Some of the talking monkeys in charge of this ape really need to get out more.
