Tarzan never had any qualms about killing a mother beast whose only “crime” was attempting to protect her babies (see for instance http://www.erbzine.com/mag38/3877.html, at the bottom part of the page). That strip left a bad taste in my mouth, especially the part where Tarzan gives his victory cry. Yeah, what a glorious victory.
This was written in the era (maybe even earlier) when Osa and Martin Johnson were making movies of their big game hunting adventures and had their own TV program showing these films in the early fifties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_and_Osa_Johnson I guess it seemed like great fun. We’re different today, most of us, but not all of us. Killing animals for food is one thing, killing them for sport is horrific, and we can only be thankful that if mama is killed, it’s only fiction; but it is sad nevertheless. Maybe T will give her a break this time.
So you all would rather a human be killed, who, by the way was misinformed of the reason for going after a Gorilla for a zoo. Turn the gorilla onto Jim!!

Tarzan is about to kill a mother gorilla who was trying to save her baby from a kidnapper? I hope that is not so.

Tarzan wants to kill an entirely innocent mother ape who was only protecting her babies?

Mama Ape actually didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m sorry Tarzan’s going to kill her.

Well, she does have foam-flecked lips. She could be rabid.

Hopefully Tarzan is going to kill the stupid Tom, and not the mother protecting her child, don’t count on it, mr. nosy likes to kill the poor mama.
