The Boston Globe Says Gibbons More Important Than People

I say that because this is a secondary concern:

"
Human residents would have to be tolerant of the cacophony of piercing hoots, shrill screams, and booms that accompany each sunrise."

Now look. I love animals and bears as much as the next guy because I LOVE ALL LIFE!!!!!!

But if you look at things in their totality, you can see that this is MORE AGENDA-PUSHING for the 80% population-reducing crowd of Globalists.


That's my problem and why I am so down about the AmeriKan MSM!


"Development threatens haven for primates; Urban sprawl crowds colony in California" by Ann M. Simmons, Los Angeles Times | June 15, 2008

SAUGUS, Calif. - When Chloe the gibbon and her mate, Ivan, hear trucks rumbling along nearby streets and helicopters clacking overhead, they dart and leap erratically. Betty, Truman, Sasha, and Tuk soon join the frenzy, along with 28 other apes.

But the residents at the Gibbon Conservation Center aren't just monkeying around.

"It's a stressful situation for them," said Alan Mootnick, founder of the nonprofit center about 40 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. "They don't know which direction to turn. It's like they're trying to get away."

It's also distressing to Mootnick, a self-taught expert on gibbons who has won praise from zoologists and has published dozens of scholarly papers in peer-reviewed publications, including the International Journal of Primatology.

Professional primatologists say the center is home to the largest and rarest group of gibbons in the Western Hemisphere. The collection includes Hylobates gibbons, the only nonhuman primates to walk naturally on two limbs, which often have a white ring of fur around their faces; tailless Symphalangus, which have two fingers on each hand fused together; hoolock gibbons, distinguished by their bushy white eyebrows; and Nomascus, which have fluffy, light-colored cheeks that resemble sideburns.

But now, encroaching urban development is threatening the health and well-being of the gibbons from Southeast Asia, Mootnick said. He is trying to raise funds to move the zoo-like facility that he founded in 1976.

Amazing how the AmeriKan MSM only cares about that in certain situations, isn't it?

The SELECTIVITY is what gets me, and don't even bother trying to debate the agenda-pushing anymore.

Less than 500 feet from the center's front gate, work has begun on the first phase of a $1.8-billion Southern California Edison project to tap wind power and eventually deliver 4,500 megawatts of renewable power to California's grid.

Good Christ, readers!

First the polar bear story with the slant against oil companies, now the slant of the agenda-advancing agenda is AGAINST the WIND FARMS!!

Yeah, sure, global-warming and the environment are just another SHIT SMOOTHY for you, 'murkn shit-eaters!!!!

Don Johnson, the project manager, said he was unaware of the proximity of the Edison effort to the gibbon center, but the company had sent notices to area residents warning of possible noise and disruption, and there had been "no inquiries or complaints."

In addition, Bouquet Canyon Land Fund Eight has applied to Los Angeles County to build 334 single-family homes on about 500 acres neighboring the center.

WTF?!?!

Why the NEW HOME BUILDING when we have a FORECLOSURE CRISIS in America?!

That DOES IT!!! It is ALL SHIT, folks!!

EVERYTHING the MSM shovels at you is SHIT, Americans!!

WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mootnick fears the worst if this project is allowed to proceed.

"It will stress them out, the sounds of the bulldozers and machines," Mootnick said.

Accompanying the din is the threat of valley fever, a deadly soil fungus spread through the air when the earth is disrupted.

Mootnick said that the infection makes it hard for gibbons to breathe and that, two years ago, an ape named Chester died of valley fever.

I wonder when they are going to start caring about people in this article?

Of course, people wouldn't be suffering like animals, right?

The ELITE STINKSHIT just EXUDES from the shit-sheet War Daily, folks!

Can't you SMELL the STINK!!!!

Being constantly exposed to loud noise can also cause reproductive problems in female gibbons, causing them to abort, said Lori Sheeran, a primatologist at Central Washington University. At least one gibbon has aborted at the Saugus center in past years, Mootnick said.

As any reader knows, abortions bother me -- no matter what life is destroyed.

Too bad the AmeriKan MSM isn't as concerned about war deaths or human abortion, huh?

Just MORE AGENDA-PUSHING SLOP!!!!

As for gibbons being suitable suburban neighbors, Mootnick pointed out that human residents would have to be tolerant of the cacophony of piercing hoots, shrill screams, and booms that accompany each sunrise.

"It's hard to know if they would want to wake up to gibbons singing," Mootnick said.

Kimberly Yu, project coordinator for Bouquet Canyon Land Fund Eight's proposed housing development, declined to comment on the center.

Although the location, where Mootnick, who is 57 and single, lives in a converted machine shop, was ideal because of its isolation, he never intended it to be a permanent home for his primates. The weather in the canyon is too extreme for gibbons, with "summers too hot, winters too cold," Mootnick said.

At least one gibbon has fainted from the heat in recent years, and they all become distinctly less active when a chill sets in, Mootnick said.

Mootnick wants to buy at least 50 acres in Ventura County, where the coastal climate is better suited to gibbons. He has been hosting fund-raising drives with the aim of securing $1 million to contribute to the expected $2.5-million to $4-million price tag of a new property. He hopes the eventual sale of the Saugus site will cover the outstanding costs."

Unbelievable.

The apes shouldn't even be there (any chance the climate and not the commotion is causing the problems?).

Honestly, readers, I've about reached my limit this morning on the shit AmeriKan press and its propaganda shoveling.
