Thing is, without a weapon, no human is any real match for a frightened or enraged primate of nearly any size. I knew a guy who worked with them in research, and said if one of them decided to attack you, without a weapon you were going to come out on the bad side.
He said that even if they are tame or semi-tame, we are simply not used to the kind of strength a wild animal can revert to if it gets violent.
I would shoot it. No doubt.
We women are hard wired to not allow wildlife in, around, near our homes
People laugh at us if we eek at a mouse. Bet we know it carries nasty viruses, can chew through our electrical, reproduce in our homes, and it is not their home, or get into our food. Meaning a wild animal is a danger. The smaller ones are worse. They are sneaky and they hide
When we set out to kill an animal threatening our home, we kill it
I for one notice that she killed it with one shot Of course she shot it again. Again, that was always Jack bauer’s advice
She wasn’t out there doing a drama queen shaking of her hands. Jumping around, being a stereotypical damsel in distress.
She found her weapon while keeping an eagle eye on that nasty, unpredictable beast likely infected with experimental viruses, and she knew it, she snuck outside quietly, instructing her 16 year old to be still and quiet, and she aimed and got the ring in one shot
Good girl!
