Having a chimp as a “pet”
Giving the thing a human name “Travis”
Saying the thing was “misbehaving”
The problem is the idiot human that had demented fantasies about this thing being just like a human.
Otherwise normal people lose their minds when they see a chimp and try their best to see it as a human.
It’s really about seeing humans as just the same as animals, not something superior.
Another problem is the idiot who wrote the article, constantly calling it “Travis”, and “he”, instead of “it”
I expect the animal rights wackos will call for the prosecution of the cop.
Liberalism is an incurable mental disease.
As Rush said, “A tiger is a tiger”.
Chimps scare the hell out of me. They are so strong, quick and have fangs like a German Shepard.And when I say strong I mean like a 200# chimp benching a 1000# strong.No human is as strong as they are pound for pound.
They have powerful teeth and jaws, PLUS powerful arms that can hold and immobilize you while they bite your face off. Plus feet that can grab at you too.
So the term “monkey on your back” is really worse than we thought?
Yes we underestimate animals abilities. They have no regrets or conscience, and they can kill you quickly.
Did you notice that the office shot the brute several times and it still ran off to it’s bedroom? It could have attacked until it died of blood loss.
I think we need to kill all animals.Then eat them.
So the new campaign by PETA to call all fish, “Sea Kittens” might backfire when people think of claws and fangs?
Ok I finally read the article... so I take it there is now a job vacancy? ;^)
They’re not known for being swimmers..
Thats is the key. No exotic wild animal pet should ever be considered “tamed.” Wild animals may have varying dispositions but even mild disposition wild animals can instinctively turn into a killing machine without warning.
I own and keep a seven foot pet crocodilian in my home.
I have a science background and have owned this animal for 23 years. I am not an idiot, but certainly understand why exotic pet owners are given that label, especially after episodes like this.
I remember that!
I'm surprised you did!
I remember laughing when I wrote that, and wondering if I should post it as it wasn't nice... but the Internets made me do it. :)
Yep, there are certain sarcastic funnies that just stick in my head. I had to look up on the thread (took me a minute or two to find the thread) who posted it, but I always remembered it. For some reason that just struck my funny bone. It was just the perfect sarcasm. I don’t think anyone berated you for it either. :)
No, I seem to get away with a lot after all of these years of my right-wing extremism. :)
If you want a chuckle, visit my FReep page.
I let off steam by making silly graphic images... you might enjoy some of them on a slow Friday.
