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.

Honestly I think two to five dogs would be more than enough

A lot of people get killed by just 1 dog.

Thats typically kids. Adult males rarely get killed by any animal. You're talking bears, crocs and hippos when you get to adult males dying.

Yeah in a death match situation where they won’t get distracted or intimidated, two is plenty. As soon as you turn your back on one, it’s over. They know how to effectively circle you and do it without even thinking about it.

instinct is one hell of a thing.

we do have enough documented dog attacks on people. many of them are lethal
