I’ve seen “Don’t make sustained eye contact with the gorillas” signs at a zoo here in the USA. It’s not insane to tip off visitors to behaviors that will irritate the animals. That’s a far cry from saying the woman is “responsible” for that attack. Apes don’t carry “responsibility”, since they are not moral actors, though obviously the animal is the source of the problem here. The blame finger should be pointed at the zoo, which did not have the necessary barrier between the gorilla and visitors.
As for the main point about European demographic collapse. It’ll happen or not – I am not European, so it’s not my place to tell what to do. I just hope there is a good plan to lock up the nuclear cutlery before it all falls into the wrong hands.
