Lets catch these baby gorilla traders!

Posted at 8:41 am under Gorillas

Ok, I have an idea. Lets do some detective work.
This is the contact information Phone: Country code (237) –74631656 - Fax: 00237–74698532

Could someone out there call these guys and let us know ifthis is genuine? This may require a French speaker to make the call.

We need to find out how much the baby is going for, where it came from? Does anyone have any other ideas about how to get to the bottom of this? Where exactly is it located so that we can send the authorities after them.

help us and share this

    I just called the admin phone number from the Whois listing and got a message telling me the mailbox was full.

    Thanks Sheryl, I have a ‘friend’ calling them as we talk. I’ll let you know what the outcome is shortly

    This is like something out of a movie — it can’t be true and if it is how many more are there and does this go on all the time — horrible!

    Thanks for jumping on this, Sheryl. I just did a phone number and address search on Erdal Irmak, but only found a match for Ermine in Menlo Park. I will keep digging.

    Yeah, that’s all I found on zabasearch, too. I did a google search for the name with the domain name and then with the state name and got lots of Erdal Irmaks but none seemed quite like the one we’re looking for.

    Should law enforcement be handling this…contacting the organization in a undercover way, and, if finding it is true, confiscating the animal? What the hell does someone think they are going to do with a gorilla as a pet? Who the hell is vaccinating them?? Sheryl — who is that guy we went to see at the Zoo…the wildlife criminal investigators…maybe they can help??

    Wildlife Alliance - they work in Asia, not Africa.

    The FBI has an internet crimes devision. Perhaps they can look into this.

  12. Batterson 09 May 2008 at 12:10 pm 12

    The Environmental Investigation Agency might be able to help with this.

  13. sheryl, washington dcon 12 May 2008 at 4:51 am 13

    What’s going on with this? The WD Web site is _messed up_, so maybe no one can update their blogs?
