Chimp beatdown
 

Man, why do people keep "pets" like this?? :doh:

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

They said the chimp grew up with the family, logged onto the internet (I think maybe it also goes by the name Kidwell :) ), drank wine, watched tv...but at the end of the day it's still a wild animal. I think I heard it had been taking medication for lyme disease and that's what set it off.

This chimp lived five minutes away from me, apparently he would hang around downtown a lot. I never personally saw him though.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

What a horrible story. It's totally irresponsible to keep a chimpanzee as a pet IMO, even if he had no history of aggression.

There was a story similar to this a few years back I remember reading. Some elderly couple got totally mauled by a chimp.

They are freakishly strong.

That's pretty much all you have to say about this.

Monkeys always scare me. They're so unpredictable and they have some serious retard strength.

Definitely. My girlfriend and I went to the National Zoo here in DC last summer, and just going into the ape house made me a little nervous. I know there is thick glass in between spectators and the animals, but a few of those big ass gorillas did not look happy. I wouldn't put it past them to smash that glass.

Man that chimp went nuts. The woman's frantic 911 call is out:

I went through the Gorilla exhibit at Busch Gardens in Tampa last year and the silverbacks are scary dudes. I was a little on edge knowing if that thing wanted to bug out it would do some serious damage to whatever got in it's way.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

Man I could only listen to a minute of that. There is some guy that helps save monkeys around the world but one attacked him once ripped his nose and nuts off.

I also saw a Discovery channel show on Apes. They will attack each other if they feel threaten. They show two tear the jaw off another and then they proceded to eat the jaw of the attacked ape.

Why you would have one for a pet is beyond me. Aperently this one in question was on meds that caused it to act out.

I heard one story where a guy was keeping a tiger in his NYC apartment, the only way the police found out about it was becasue his downstairs neighbor was complaining about the amout urine that was coming through his ceiling.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

This is reminiscent of the Sigfreid (sp?) and Roy incident a few years back. One of them got mauled nearly to death by one of those bad ass tigers they roll with. If you play with fire, eventually you'll get burned I guess. Like SS said, they are wild animals, no matter how tame you think they are.

The arm strength those chimps have is amazing. They can literally dismember people with their bare hands. Ugh.

Talk about some sick strength.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

I think I rather have a tiger kill me then a ape. A tiger is built to kill quickly where as a ape would kill you by peeling you like a banana really slowly.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

Slightly off the topic of monkey strength here but I really hate hearing 911 calls. Is it really necessary to release them all the time?

I was thinking the same, is there not a privacy act on these calls?

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

I couldn't help but laugh at this. Natural selection at its best. :goodjob:

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

Maybe I just like cats, but I'm not finding it funny to see him get his head bashed in like that.

I don't know, if it's fake then yeah it's pretty funny.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

a similar attack happened in CA a few years ago. a couple took care of old aging movie star animals, a few were chimps. one day (maybe due to a womans perfume) they went nuts on the couple, ripped of the guys genitals, ripped off their fingers, bite off the ladies nose, i think the guy died.

and yeas i get alil freaked out at the natl zoo when those silverbacks lock eyes on you, they look very very pissed off. i would rather have to fight a bear or shark vs a chimp or ape b/c chimps/apes go ape shit on you. im surprised the mafia didnt use these guys instead of hanging dudes over the tiger area.

under the law (sorry) if you own a wild pet like a chimp or tiger you are strictly liable for any damage done. which means you are screwed if something happens.

go skins!!

The person killed was someone visting the lady who owned the ape. Not sure how that is natural selection as you called it. So if you go over a friends house and their dog tears you apart we should just laugh and call it natural selection?

Would you go over someone's house that kept a Chimp? How about a Grizzly Bear? If you did you'd be just as stupid and deserve to get eaten IMO. Michael Vick isn't my friend nor would I visit his house.

I shot the last dog that tried to bite me.

I wasn't responding to your post. I don't just play a jerk on TV. Let's not get away from the topic. We're talking about it this right now at my work and they think it's funny too. :laughing2

The point is that this dumb ass lady keeps a cannibalistic animal from the jungle, that's strong as an Ox, with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth in it's mouth in her freaking home. So when one of her fellow travellers comes over to see her and gets mauled by the damn thing I find it funny.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

Why is it when Chris Rock makes jokes about a tiger biting Freud it's funny?
Why is it when Ron White makes jokes about a bear eating a guy it's funny?
Why is it when the Richmond Times Dispatch runs cartoons of bears eating people at the natural selection zoo it's funny?

But somehow when I think that a Chimp eating a lady is funny I'm sick?

Granted it be different if it was a unknowing child. But this lady made a decision to go into the lions den and got eaten. Is that not natural selection?

If I went out and bought a Golden Eagle and it pecked out my eyeballs when I was asleep wouldn't that be natural selection?

What about the you tube of the terrorists drilling a hole in the bomb in Iraq to make it into an IED. Don't tell me I'm the only one who thought it was funny when they blew their buts strait up to Allah?

Here's something that none of y'all have pointed out. What the hell was the lady doing with a dangerous animal in her home? What's the difference between a chimp and an alligator? They both eat people. Don't tell me that no one knew she had the thing. Would you let a love one visit a lady with a chimp? Why isn't the owner facing charges?

Don't get mad at me because I'm slightly twisted. I don't let my animals maul people. The last time I checked fat old labs aren't a threat to society.

[quote]Why isn't the owner facing charges? [/quote]You can bet charges will be forthcoming. Also, I'm pretty sure if the owner has anything of value, the family of the lady killed will be filing a lawsuit and they'll win.

Freud got his throat ripped out.

Ron White was talking about a real guy.

Comedy is about context, timing and delivery. If we're calling it like we see it well then you're not funny and your joke was tasteless. If you get hit by a bus tomorrow know that I will be thinking of you and saying to myself "couldn't happen to a better person." Let's hope you make it to Friday, m'kay.

Um, I started off the thread asking why people keep "pets" like this.

If you want to be "twisted" fine go ahead, just don't act like you can't understand why people might be offended by your crass comments. I'm sure this isn't the first time a twisted person like yourself has heard that type of reaction.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

This chimp, as I understand it, was pretty well known in the town. Even the police were aware, yet nothing was ever done such as removing the pet from the home. If I remember right, some new law was passed recently about having wild animals as pets but this chimp was grandfathered in (though some are now saying that never happened or never should have happened). Anyhow, with the common knowledge that this pet existed yet nothing was done then I'd think it'd be hard to press charges.

I also heard that this is a friend that visited fairly frequently but she had recently changed her hair style, or dyed her hair maybe and the chimp didn't recognize her.

It's an unfortunate situation. I don't know what natural selection has to do with any of it.

The woman had changed both her hair style and her car and also had brought a stuffed elmo toy as a gift for the Chimp. I guess, somehow, this combination set him off.

It sounds like just a really unfortunate combination of things.

Comedy is a mystery, one that has been pondered since Aristotle. Nobody can explain why some people are funny and others aren't, we just kind of know this to be the case. So when Chris Rock makes such a joke it's funny, but when you do it's creepy and weird. When Jim Carrey farts in dumb and dumber its hilarious, but when my dad does it its gross.

While no one can explain why this is the case, the lesson to be gleaned is that you - Trample - should stop making jokes.

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

How about....Chris Rock doesn't make a joke about the incident the day after it took place? Chris Rock's joke doesn't allude to Social Darwinism? Chris Rock is funny?

Re: Chimp beatdown
 

Familiarity with one's delivery helps, too. TTE's real life personality may even be a mirror image of Chris Rock but we don't know, we can only make our own inferences based off of reading his selection of words w/o putting a voice to it. I'd go with "he's pretty funny overall" but this situation maybe not so much.
