Twenty-five years ago today Dian Fossey was found murdered

Dian Fossey was a zoologist who undertook an extensive study of gorilla groups over a period of 18 years. She studied them daily in the mountain forests of Rwanda, initially encouraged to work there by famous anthropologist Louis Leakey. Her murder in 1985 remains open.

She was also a gigantic bitch who pissed off every local she ever met to the point that guessing who murdered her is a game where everyone is a suspect. Her own words show how she treated the locals with utter contempt. She forgot that real human beings need to survive just as much as her gorillas and when she fired her employees and harassed "poachers" rather than trying to help them live WITH the gorillas she pretty much signed her own death warrant.

wow, Rat, why don't you tell us what you really think? You almost sound like you think she deserved to be murdered.
