tl;dr Critically endangered single male gorillas in zoos could be killed because there's too many of them (212 males vs 250 females) and it's too much trouble to return them to the wild.
These gorillas have near-human IQs but they're males who no one wants to mate with, so fuck it, let's kill all the shitty ones I guess...

So you're not getting matches on Gorilla Tinder? Sorry bro, time for you to die.
What they're doing to sentient animals they'll eventually be doing to humans.

Overcrowding of critically endangered western lowland gorillas in zoos has led the influential European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (Eaza) to consider killing adult males of the species. Eaza is the body that regulates most of the zoos in Europe.
Leaked documents seen by the Guardian reveal that culling, castration and keeping adult single males in solitary confinement for a large portion of their lives are seen as potential solutions to an overpopulation of the species in zoos. The gorilla population in Eaza zoos consists of 463 individuals (212 males, 250 females and one of unknown sex) at 69 institutions.
Western lowland gorillas are the smallest of the four gorilla subspecies, standing at 4 to 6 feet (122cm to 183cm) when upright. Tests on one lowland gorilla found an IQ of between 70 and 90 – the average IQ for humans on many tests is 100, and most people score somewhere between 85 and 115.
