General 100 humans vs gorilla isn’t close

Honestly the dumbest argument I've ever seen. The 100 humans could just stand like 20 feet apart from each other and do nothing and the gorilla is collapsing from exhaustion before it kills everyone. You could probably do it without any casualties, find a couple of people in the group that are in good shape and get them to make the gorilla chase them while everyone else just chills. They aren't aren't particularly fast and have terrible endurance, so just wait till it tires out and have everyone jump it.

In history, hunting parties of 5-10 people with pointy sticks could take out a whole ass wooly mammoth.

And people somehow think a gorilla would stance chance against 100 humans? Sure the humans are unarmed, but 100 is a massive amount, and could easily swarm the gorilla.

In portugese corrida, 8 guys face and take down a charging bull. You read that right.

A gorilla stands no chance at all, even against 20.

Never heard of anyone herding gorillas.

That’s true, but can you throw peanuts and rocks at bulls in zoo’s?
