Monkey attacks woman, Shot.

Ape, he was an ape.
there IS a difference.

Crap like this is rediculous. Who the hell permits people to keep wild animals like this as pets? Chimpanzees are not human despite how similar they might be or how raised. And of course the Xanax sure didn't help. WHY was it given?

You're not exactly in a position to be correcting people.

ANYWAY this monkey mauled a woman and got what he deserved.

The same thing happens when they transfer baboon hearts into children. True sh*t! My neighbor had the procedure done a while back for a hole in her heart and now she eats with her feet and gets wacked out on goofballs all day long!

True sh*t!

You know, this would have been REALLY helpful information

So, said chimp bit someone viciously back in 1996.... Yeah. Thanks for bringing this to our attention NOW.

True... but dogs and cats and hamsters and ferrets and parakeets (and turtles) aren't human either, and people are permitted to keep them as pets! I don't think anyone assumes that pets are humans. If they were, they wouldn't be pets.

Also, it's not as if this was a wild animal the woman just brought home from the jungle -- she apparently raised it herself and has had it for years. Even tame pets (and people, for that matter) can have off days and/or snap for no apparent reason. Fortunately, most pets (maybe even most people) aren't big or strong or savage enough to mess people up in the way that Travis wrecked that poor lady.

What got me most was the part about the ape taking the keys off the table and letting itself out, though. Any pet that can unlock doors frightens me!

my God!

I don't get what the owner was thinking with the lased tea stunt.

And this is proof why people should not have wild animals as pets. Jeff Corwin said that himself on the Today show.

Dogs, Cats, Ferrets, Hams, budgies (aka parakeet)and CAPTIVE BRED turtles...are DOMESTICATED.

My 4 turtles are all born in captivity, never ever been wild, but they do have instinct, and they're not 200 pounds of fury that could tear my face off.

Tigers, Lions, Wolves, Great Apes, Pachyderm...too many wild animals to name, they're WILD. They're not domesticated at all. There is a difference between domestic and wild. A Przewalski horse will sit down and refuse to carry a person but a domestic horse will learn and carry a person. The former is a purely wild species. Now, this is what I've heard from horse people so, don't quote me on it.

The chimp didn't deserve to die, as far as i understand he was hopped up xanax, he was loaded! you dont give human drugs to a nonhuman ape, they're not made for them. And like the list above, it seems the drug brought out some side effects. that's the owner's fault. Poor care and irrisponsible

Animals are put on human medication all the time. Have you ever been to a zoo? The monkeys are all on some form of anti-depressants..

*Voltron* · 02-23-2009, 08:39 PM

When monkeys fling sh*t at people and masturbate in public, they get goof balls and free sign language sessions. I do it, and I go to jail. What a country.

*Hannah* · 02-23-2009, 08:54 PM

You should read "Bobo the Self-Hating Chimp" from Shalom Auslander's "Beware of God."

*Voltron* · 02-23-2009, 08:56 PM

You have piqued my curiosity, woman. I shall find this tome and fling its proverbial sh*t into my brain.
