While the world ponders on the decision, as yet to be made, on where the four 
gorillas now at Taiping are going to be sent to, I feel it is time that this 
matter be opened up for discussion once again. The only beings oblivious to 
the issue at hand must unquestionably be the Taiping Four. It cannot be denied 
that they must have undergone a traumatic and harrowing experience at being 
captured, bundled and transported through various routes through Africa and 
finally ending up in Taiping Zoo.
There is no doubt in my mind that these four animals were captured as a 
consequence of their mothers being killed. One cannot imagine a poacher trailing a 
group of gorillas for days ultimately rushing from a point of camouflage to 
snatch a baby from its mother's arms. Indeed, the mothers were killed.
