lovely
I felt very sad seeing the dead gorillas and the family boiling a rat to eat.
The liveliest was the one with the two clowns amidst the sea of polka dots.
Thanks for posting them.
High res of #4 please! They’re *actual women* and not airbrushed models. I love that.
Seeing the dead gorillas was like having someone punch me in the stomach. I feel rage and profound sadness. Man can be so cruel.
I have reported this website to Reuters for copyright infringement. I think Reuters will soon send you a bill for around US$400 each.
Impressive collection, especially like the first photo.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the picture of the gorillas that were killed. It’s like the guy above said. I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach.
I too have reported this web site to Reuters. I hope they sue your ass. The Internet is not free you fucking liberals.
For goodness sake Get A Grip people… The page says Reuters – each photo mentions Reuters – all the links to this page say Reuters. I am sure that Paul Reuters, who started the company all those years ago would not be so damned pathetic as “Scout and Ted” are being. Especially Ted, who’s grasp of the English language would do any news service proud – remember folks: DNFTT
Who on earth is the idot that plans to report this to Reuters. We are sitting here laughing at his post. My goodness what the hell did this person do wrong? NOTHING. LOL Get a grip will ya? lol
The picture of the murdered gorillas was the most heartbrealking thing I have seen in a very long time. How cruel and inhumane.
The dead gorillas had me in tears. But the little boy and the whale make up for a tiny bit of that. The women on the bridge were quite amazing too!
Sadness and rage are the result of seeing the gorillas. Why are people so needlessly cruel and inhumane?
The only thing sadder than the picture of the murdered gorillas….is Ted Hammers.
Nice Photos. What’s up Ted’s ass?
“The Internet is not free you fucking liberals.”
Uh, yeah it is!
excellent photos
PLEASE SEND ME MAIL ADRESS
I am writing here in response to pic. number 6 of someone cooking a rat in Suphanburi/Thailand.
I have lived in Suphanburi for a long time and can promise you that no-one boils rat to ‘make ends meet’. In fact, Suphanburi is rated one of the most developed provinces in Thailand. Whoever wrote the caption for that pic is a bit of a joker!
tanks
very good and excellent pictures
congradulation for these photographers and thankx for reuters to select best of these…
very good and excellent
Oh, boo hoo, so some gorillas got killed.
Cry river, build bridge, etc.
HI
PLEASE SEND ME MAIL ADRESS.TANKS
Fantastic…..Thank you
Very nice and good Selection .
I love the picture with Mekrel, she seems so approachable, like a nice granny.
I wish I could kiss a whale…
how is this invisible bridge thing done? photoshop?
Rat.
Hey Mr. Awesome, the big deal about the gorillas being killed is that they are an endangered species. Needlessly killing these creatures reduces their already dwindling numbers, Jackass!
Yes my friend, but what will people eat? The answer is not U.N , the answer is U. S. That is my opinion.
Sahil,
I would definitely agree with you if they were eating these gorillas. I am familiar with this picture as it is from a wildlife site where they are trying to protect these gorillas, and they are being killed by the locals for no reason other than that they are inhabiting the same areas where these people make, of all things, charcoal. So these are needless killings of these gorillas.
Secondly, why doesn’t the african government do something for their own people instead of always relying on other governments and the UN to do something.
please send me picture or photo fun thank you
Mr. Awesome
I know a reply is a waste of time for someone like you. Your name personifies your arrogance.
