His nose was chewed off. I hope his son recognizes him.

[umgud]

One word; Grisly

[null and void]

I wonder if she was um, cycling?

[right wing]

Davis recently returned home. He's severely disfigured - his nose chewed off and his genitals and limbs severely mauled - but his love for Moe, who served as the ring bearer in his and LaDonna's wedding, remains strong.

Words fail me...

[flashbunny]

a chimp is a chimp
a tiger is a tiger

expecting a wild animal to behave simply because they 'look cute' is a recipe for disaster.

[KamperKen]

Nature is cruel and comes with all manners of ways for us to die cruel deaths.

[decal]

See the tagline - it was written just for ninnies like this.

[diamond6]

So sad. Living life disfigured must be a difficult cross to bear. I have a dear freeper friend is disfigured, and he has the most positive and optimistic attitude; he truly inspires me.

True of women, too.

Ducking!

[BigCinBigD]

Bears get blamed for every thing.

[Paradox]

Anthropomorphize at your own risk, I always say..

Chimps are NOT suitable pets.

The are nearly as intellegent as humans, are stronger, and have a propensity to violence; even against their caregivers.

[SJSAMPLE]

IIRC, from earlier reports...
Lost most fingers and toes.
Nose.


And testicles.
His inability to reproduce is very assuring.

[jimboster]

That is really bizarre. They went for the extremities. Boy, chimps fight dirty. I wonder why they left his ears alone.

"The are nearly as intellegent as humans, are stronger, and have a propensity to violence; even against their
caregivers."

Sounds like you just described your average Muslim. The stronger part I can assume as smell. Anyway, I'll take on a chimp any day as long as it's only one and I have a bat, leather gloves and a short sword.

When they rescued the chimp in Africa they should have put it in a reserve.

In Thailand it used to be very common that people would take baby gibbons and macaques from the jungle and use them to make money from tourists. Once they get past a few years old they grow large teeth and get very aggresive though. Then their owners dump them and get a new one.

I used to feed one that lived near my office but I never got too close, those things can be vicious.

[SJSAMPLE]

Yep.
They always bite off fingers and tear at genitals.

Sound like perfect pets.

[andie74]

Um gawa, Cheetah. Um gawa.

[flying Elvis]

Like Norm MacDonald, I prefer weenie dogs. The worst they can do is gnaw on your ankle.
