You see, talk shows are a lot like Internet comments sections. It was more like shouting, arguing, and generally making a lot of noise on camera, in front of millions of viewers. Well, “discuss” is probably the wrong word. Drew to talk about lion hunting, and yesterday, I did the same to discuss the gorilla.

The level of outrage is similar to that created around the killing of Cecil the lion last year. Everyone got really angry. Angry at the parents, angry at the zoo, angry at the regulations, and angry about the system that puts wild animals in captivity for our amusement and education.
This weekend, a gorilla was shot at a zoo after a little boy fell into its enclosure.
