Or is Animal Planet running a whole slew of shows about how dangerous chimps are since that lady got mauled? Just goes back to that old, wise saying: "Don't...fuck...with...the monkeys!"
Something else I have never seen mentioned when talking about these critters...in the wild when fighting for territory, it is not uncommon for them to cannabilize each other at all. Who in the fuck would think it's a good idea to have one of these as a pet? I don't care is your the freakin Monkey Whisperer :
This cute little buck-a-roo was on WGN TV this morning. He had his teeth bared the entire time. Kinda creepy. http://www.whiplashrides.com/
I've seen that guy in real life. You could probably give him a good kick and live through the attack OK. Gosh though, I am kind of scared for the border collies.
In reality, I'm sure he's harmless. Did you know that he is 22 years old? The man has owned him his whole life.
I can't remember if I saw him at the Midwest Horse Fair or at the rodeos. Where ever it was it was hilarious!
O worked for a lady who had a TB farm that had a chimp. I didn;t work there long, it was a strange place to work. But, I did discover at that time that monkeys are creepy to me. Knew some other folks many years later who had some kind of small monkey as a pet, still creepy. Something about there "scaly" little hands is just gross...
Monkeys, apes -- nasty little frakking simians. I don't care for fucking monkeys, at all. They throw shit as per what Jen said, they'll pee on you if they get half a chance, and those little "darlings" have got some wicked nasty teeth and know how to use them. Why anyone would want one as a pet is beyond me. On the Animal Planet shows they were reporting that chimps are now going into human villages and stealing babies and toddlers, taking them back to their troop...and killing and eating them. Just charming. And there are legislators that want to give these damn things equal legal rights with people? In fact, they already have over in some cases in the EU (which makes me wonder about the Europeans and whether or not they've gone round the bend).
Monkey goes in a little cage with his head out in the center of the table. The people are told to hit him over the head with a little hammer and get to eat fresh monkey brains. What movie was that? Back in the 80's.
Actually, I don't know the movie, but that is an actual "experiment" they used to conduct on them. That made me sick.
It was a delicacy, and I think some meaning to eat it. what was the movie? It had other weird stuff on it too.
Faces of Death A friend and I walked out of the room at that point (some other folks had it and were watching -- uhm, no thank you sick mofos).
