GET SERIES....A hugh Chimp isn't anything to monkey around with !!!!
ok.. someone had to say it
With the boys on the line, don't look at me to put your theory to the test.
Damed dirty apes.
no, but on the off chance that you're ever at a zoo......
why is everyone mocking these people? They put their Chimp in a sanctuary cause they understood the situation. It wasn't like they were playing touch football with them...the attacking Chimps were wrongly let out of their cages. They were not supposed to be loose.
It takes something like this to bring them back to the reality that chimps are just animals.
I guess with no fingers, he won't be spanking any monkeys..
Charlie Gibson asked her if this shows that chimps were dangerous and shouldn't be kept as pets.
Her answer (paraphrasing)
" Oh no, that would be DISCRIMINATION, why you don't know how it was raised,blah blah blah."
That did it for me. Nut cases.
PETA alert.
Weren't they forced to ? Moe had bite at least one woman.
I don't know..but what's the difference? They put the Chimp in a place they thought was a safe haven. They loved this Chimp. I don't get it, but as a dog lover, I understand the love one can feel for an animal. It wasn't their fault that these Chimps were loose. As batty as you think they are, it's not like they were swinging on trees with them.
But that one, Moe, wasn't one of the attackers. I'd have thought he might come to the defense of his people, although from the stories I've read it's not clear if he was loose or in his cage at the time.
Sadly, these people suffered terribly when there was no need. I want to say, delusional, when it comes to their anthropomorphizing the birthday chimp, but I'm biting my tongue.
I missed that - The Chimp wasn't one of those attacking.
Oh I don't know. There a video of a couple of gang banger types beating up a kid in a Target parking lot that didn't seem much different than this incident, except that in that case the calvary arrived quickly enough that the kid wasn't badly injured.
It sounds like he may be lucky to survive, although I'm not sure I'd want to if I were in his shoes. It certainly would cut down on the number of my posts at this forum.
"Guys, guys... let's be reasonable about this..."
Good Lord...
One question- what happened to the fingers?
There was an interview with one of the responders, he said there were parts all over the place. They found his nose and some of his foot , but he didn't specify beyond that, other than to say the guy had no face, one foot had been chewed off, and his testicles had been ripped off.
That was my first question. Not downplaying the seriousness of this man's injuries, but the first answer that came to me was, "He must be a Liberal".
