You've probably seen this article about a chimp that attacked a visitor to the owner's home.
The missus said an interesting thing in relation to animals that shouldn't be pets - like assassin chimps, lions, cassowary's, bears, and tyrannosaurus rexies - is that it's just like Madagascar, the movie, where the lion starts to get hungry and stops seeing his mates as a companion and starts seeing them as a food source. There's a trigger deep down in the inner psyche that's there to trip and BOOM, she goes off like a fucken land mine.
Dogs have it, cats too. It's like a anti-lotto ticket in the deep dark recesses of primal instinct. Add drugs to that and you've got a 80 kilo (200 lb) psycho with the remorse of a shark.
I feel sorry for the sleeper assassin chimp that got the metaphorical trigger phone call from the genes that said, "snap".

I saw this article this morning. What struck me was the fact that the owner, knowing the chimp was agitated, gave him a mind altering drug known to cause irritability in humans. Obviously, high aggravation in chimps. What the hell was she thinking. Authorities are debating whether to prosecute her or not.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you read my post a couple or three posts ago..it was about some bill collectors in Nigeria who domesticate Hyenas and take them along on their bill collecting assignments. I was wondering exactly what you wrote here...there is no way in hell a hyena is going to ever be totally domesticated...they could snap at any moment...and those are bad ass animals.
I feel sorry for the woman that had half her face torn off! Nasty assassin monkey!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I should probably get rid of my trunk monkey then.
ReplyDeleteJadedJ ~ Yeah, I did. Scary fricken animals those. I think the thing these people forget after they've hung out with these animals for an extended period of time is what they actually are.
ReplyDeleteLerm ~ Yeah, definitely, and her.
Naut ~ lol Might be for the best.
Ape shall not kill Ape...so obviously the chimp didn't believe in evolution!
ReplyDeleteMoko and why are T-rex's not an acceptable pet?
The size of the shit dude, what else?.
ReplyDeleteMate she fed the fucking thing "Xenex" a powerful antidepressant!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder it went off!
sorry Xenex = Xanax
ReplyDeleteclose but no banana!
hehehehe
rofl She lost the plot before the chimp, me thinks.
ReplyDeleteBut when Homer got a monkey it just ended up getting fat, drinking beer, eating pizza and being a couch potato. Why didn't she try that angle?
ReplyDeleteWell, Xanax didn't work.
ReplyDeleteAll animals have a mind of their own and if they're upset or feel threatened they'll resort to instinctual behaviour. Any dog is capable of inflicting serious damage despite owners who claim their 'baby' would never hurt a fly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she shudda given it a toke instead.
ReplyDeleteThe audio from the phone call is chilling.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it. Quite freaky.
ReplyDeleteAbe ~ lol Yeah, I was thinking ritalin.
Lou ~ Most definitely.
hey, anybody want a new floor rug.........
ReplyDeletei heard the police dispatch recording. One of the cops is heard to say, "we gotta get EMT in here, this guy's face is gone". So gone that he couldn't tell it was a woman. Bit her hands off too. I'd be terrified to be around one of these things, drugs or not.
ReplyDelete-Puma
Yeah it would be terrifying Puma. Brutal would be an under statement.
ReplyDeleteH ~ I want one of those ruskie hats mate. lol
