But you're not an expert on gorillas or their behavior. What I have seen said by people who understand this stuff is that dragging objects around is a way for gorillas to establish dominance in response to threat.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
