WallStreetBets members adopt 3,500 gorillas in six days
Just to put this in perspective, the global population of mountain gorillas is 1,063, so this represents the symbolic adoption of over 3 times the mountain gorillas alive in the wild!<p>I hope this unexpected boon in capital will allow for some meaningful work in preserving and protecting these rare animals.  It would be an interesting footnote in history if we can look back in 50 years and draw a line between an internet meme, reckless asset trading, and a change in the trajectory of the fate an endangered species.
