The Activist Completely Disrespects Gorilla's Passing

Wow!  I can't even with this.  Justin Barker, an Anti-Zoo Activist, who has claimed he never was one, and now sings his songs of wanting to "Better" the Zoo, shows Zero respect for the life and passing of Our Precious Oscar Jonesy, or for his care Staff, and others who loved him.

I'm completely Disgusted.  

Jonesy, as I call him, passed away yesterday.  The Zoo made the announcement this morning.  I found out not long after it appeared in media, when my Mother messaged me.  Tears flowing, memories playing, and thoughts forming, I started to put words down for a post.  In that post, I wrote, "I'm not sure when (or maybe even if), I'll publish this post, because I don't want to disrespect Jonesy's passing immediately after, with Zoo politics".

If Barker really cared, he would have shown some restraint.  Instead he batted out what I consider a sensationalized mantra, to capitalize on Jonesy's passing, to further his own agenda.

For those who have read his words, you'll get why I'm sharing this video.  Everyone else, enjoy Jonesy in this clip I captured of him participating in Training for Wellness Checks

I was finishing my post, when a friend sent me Barker's post. I replied to her, "Will read in a bit. Can't imagine what he has to say. ... Just finishing my own post.  In it, I note, will wait to post out of respect for Jonesy's passing."

I used to use (search) labels, but too often forget.  I started noting "Hot Topic" in title, but fell lax on that.  Now I'm just going to add labels, keywords, etc., here at the bottom with hashtags.  Does it help in searches, who knows.
