Dismantling the poachers?

  A gorilla doesn't need a tool to kill a person - have you ever seen a gorilla?

    Technically we don't either. But we could still make poacher dismantling more efficient for them.

    The problem here is that poachers could have guns, so even though gorillas are extremely strong, and a gorilla with a knife is a scary prospect close-up, a poacher with a gun wouldn't have much problem killing the gorilla. The solution is simple: give guns to gorillas and teach them to shoot them. Now we'll have gorilla warfare...

      I feel like apes with guns doesn't lead anywhere good. I saw a documentary about that somewhere.

        I must have missed that one. I saw a documentary where a really old ape was telling the young ones about how dangerous and murderous humans were, and how they had invented guns to help with their murderous intentions.

      Give them javelins and teach them how to use them. It will certainly solve the poaching problem!

        Chimps are known to create and use spears but for stabbing rather than throwing <https://phys.org/news/2015-04-chimps-senegal-fashion-spears.html> https://phys.org/news/2015-04-chimps-senegal-fashion-spears..... AFAIC they don't seem to understand how to throw, and aren't physically well adapted to do so.

  "If, as you say, it is no crime to be a panda, then why were we arrested?"
