Chimp Attack!

[Mack_Attack]

Chimps are able to rip a human apart. There is no way a growen man could take a chimp. I would like to see someone try. Maybe a cage match or something to settle it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Odd though why the chimps attacked them in the first place, wonder if that is normal behavior? Feel so bad for the husband, he really was ripped up And all they were doing was trying to take a cake to their old pet who was taken away from them. Although I must say it was odd that they brought him cake, is that good for monkeys? And also the monkey was taken away cause it apparently bit part of a person's finger off, ack! Bah, was an odd story either way, so thought to post it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

first of all, chimps are not monkeys, they are great apes, monkeys have tails and are almost exclusively arboreal (tree dwelling). and while this isn't exactly normal, I am not in the least bit surprised that he got attacked. a)chimps are very smart, smart enough to escape from their enclosures. b) chimps are very strong, an adult male chimp is an average of 4 times stronger than an adult male human. c) chimps (especially males) are very aggressive, territorial, and capable of commiting murder and war.

sorry about the anal-ness of that, but primates are what I'm currently paying $10 grand a year to study.

I do feel really bad for the guy though, he and his wife took care of a chimp, then put him in a sanctuary (the best place for him aside from the wild), and then even continued to visit. to have this happen is really sad to say the least, I hope it doesn't colour his view on the animals he apparently loved.

Whoa.. I posted to this and it doesn't show up now. This has happened to me about 4 times today-ethernet must be hicupping alot!

Well, basically what I said was that I heard this on the radio too, LZ. I felt so awful for that poor guy who got attacked, they said he was hurt quite badly.

Ha.. that guy who was bragging so much on the radio show you heard should be given a chance to show off- I am pretty sure he'd regret it quickly! The chimps sounded very strong and quite rough.

Are you volunteering? [/QUOTE]The only way I would do it is the wear full body armor. Have you ever seen the guy that made that full body armor to study bears.

That's why the founding father's of America drafted the 2nd amendment. People smile and nod politely whenever I say that, but it's true! It really is!

[spydar]

The right to keep and bear arms.
