I don't like Chimps anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was that story horrible or what? My uncle used to care for a young chimp and I always loved the monkey. I had always read and been told that as chimps get to be 6-8 yrs old, they become difficult to handle, extremely powerful (strength equal to 3 average men) and in more cases than not dangerous. What those 2 beasts did to that poor gent was absolutely barbaric....but them again what do I expect from a beast. They chewed of all!!!!! of his fingers, ripped out his eye, bit off his nose, ripped his genitals from his body, and generally mauled him. My father, an animal lover who worked with thoroughbred horses everyday always told me: "you can NEVER trust ANY!!!!! animal 100%"....that goes for dogs cats, horses, the most well-loved and trained animal. Seigfried and Roy learned that recently too. I pray for that man and his poor wife who got her thumb removed-ala-chimp. What does this have to do with heating???? Nuthin', I'm just venting. Mad Dog

    I've been hearing

    about this story and I know what you mean. It sticks to your mind like gum on the bottom of your shoe. I think all of the Chimps involved have been destryoyed. On a lighter note though. I heard on the radio, while on the subject on chimps, that the chimp "Cheetah" from the old Tarzan movies is still alive. He's 74 years old and has outlived all of his co -stars in the Tarzan movies.

    I saw a show on "Cheetah" a while back and he is still alive.He smokes cigars regularly but a few years ago they stopped giving him booze.They use to let him drink beer or wine daily.I also saw a show on discovery a while back that showed actual footage of chimps murdering another chimp. They said it was the first confirmation that a chimp would kill for pleasure or without a logical reason. The look on one of their faces as he was chasing down the victim was eerie. As for the Tigers or Elephants that turn on their trainers that could only be expected when you take a non-domestic animal out of it's inviroment and alter it's behavior through training with fire, whips, or whatever.
    With mans best friend I've always had the almighty feared, "They only kill their masters" Doberman Pinschers.
    Although not a dog for strangers to take lightly I think they are top notch family dogs. I have two adult daughters
    that grew up with Dobies, dressing them, wrestling with them, and being watched over by them. I also had the same insurance company for years without a claim drop my H/O policy because I had one of the breeds off the list of so called dangerous dogs. There is good and bad in everything
    but since there is no longer personal responsibilty we just group the good in with the bad, it's easier that way.

    i wear the teeth marks of one of those little people on my ...

    right arm...and the little sob's can really really hold on with those teeth! lucky for me the little minkey named "Jingles" wasnt very hungry that day :))i held my arm out straight and he hung there with the teeth biting through a surper thick irish sweater,afleece lined pull over and a long sleve shirt!i figured if he was hanging in mid air he wouldnt get to serious about it and let go :)) no way ho zay! :)) the little guy was one of those ring tail people with a dapper brim from the hadderdashery... foolish me ...thinking he was civilized :)))

    Hey Weez, did he act real friendly before he clmaped on? LOL
    One of my daughters was gifted at handling the large green parrots at the local mall and showed me what to look for and how easy it was. I tried to show my wife the same act one day while in the same pet shop. The one I picked was about 18" tall and friendly until he got on my arm and then he leaned down and clamped onto my hand between my thumb and finger. Felt like a large set of channel locks fully closed. I swung him at a horizontal 360* 3 times before he let go. The store manager told me not to come near the birds if I was going to tease them and when I caught up to my wife who I thought fled the store in fear, she had tears of laughter in her eyes.............ROOKIE

    years ago

    many moons ago actually my neighbors had a chimp,helping my buddy with his paper route we stopped there to collect money and she let the chimp come onto the porch to meet us, as we sat on the bench he bounced around us and then suddenly ripped my buddies hat off, opened his mouth REAL WIDE and swallowed his head, placing his teeth above each ear and squeezed just enough to let my bud know that he could squash his head like a grape.

    I decided on that day that monkeys weren't so cute after all.

    Well,

    the chimps and other animals are trying to even the score for all the experiments the humans are doing on them. I don't see how we expect chimps to not do such things when we tolerate humans doing far worse things to their fellows. Stupid people do stupid things, especially with animals.

    True enough

    But animals are still below us on the food chain, and I like it that way. Don't get me wrong, there are many an animal whose life I would spare over alot of humans. Don't forget though, that chimp or rabbit or mouse that was experiemented on years back may have saved yoour kids or moms life through the knowledge gained. Mad Dog

    No where

    in my post did I state that I was for or against killing animals for food and using animals for medical research. I do have an issue about using rabbits for testing eye makeup, let the users test it.
    The point was that people should not be surprised that animals behave like animals, 4 legged or otherwise.

    Powerful

    I remember a story my mom told me. When she was a little girl visiting the Bronx Zoo, the zoo keeper threw a coconut in with the orangutangs. One orangutang picked it up with one hand and crushed it like we would a cracker. Just imagine if that was your head.

    The physical difference that enables chimps and other \"apes\"

    to dominate in the strengh catergory, is that they have a much lower muscle insertion than do humans. Did you ever notice that an ape's forearm seems to go full size right down to his wrist? Same with his legs. Human muscle insertion is higher and usually the limb visually is whittled down on its approach to the arm or leg. This can also be noted on some humans. I don't know what you guys outside of New York call it, but we have a term here (not p.c. at all but it is what it is) that we use when we see an ordinary looking fellow who has subhuman strength...its called "retard strength." I myself have known several fellows that fell in to this category. One dude, was 5'7" 180 lbs....he could deadlift most midsize and all compact cars 12" off the ground. Also saw him bite a bicycle tire apart....he had the arms and legs of the chimp...although not huge. Strange but true. Mad Dog

    BEHHHH

    It is amazing how strong someone can be when they don't know how strong they are supposed to be. We have done alot of work over the years for agencies like ARC. I have alot of funny stories not very PC but funny never the less. One time we are installing a boiler and indirect in one of ARC's houses. This house was one where the residents were really off the wall but not dangerous. I had a helper with me, his first day with the company. We get the indirect installed and filled and I tell him go upstairs and bleed all the air out of the faucets.He goes up and asks the first person he sees where the bathroom is, thinking that is the HO. Well from that point the rest of the "crew" rolls into the room and they are all touching and patting him and talking their "babble" talk. He comes back down the stairs, eyes all wide with that base fear and walking slowly down the steps, tramautized, and yells " WHAT KIND OF *!&^%!&!* PLACE IS THIS I THINK THEY ARE ALL CRAZY UP THERE". We were all rolling, tears rolling down our faces with laughter. Every customers house we went to after that he was always very concerned about "where we were working". AHH, the life of a contractor.

    They turned me loose from the nervous hospital

    said I was well.

    I could use some more of that potted meat if you got any.

    MAD DOG's post cracked me up. I could almost picture Dwight Yoakum telling that story. "Let's just sit here and talk like a regular family. Until your mentally retarded friend and your homosexual friend get here."
