Police in Conn. shoot chimp after it attacks woman

[eits]

At the time of the 2003 incident, police said the Herolds told them the chimpanzee was toilet trained, dressed himself, took his own bath, ate at the table and drank wine from a stemmed glass. He also brushed his teeth using a Water Pik, logged onto the computer to look at pictures, and watched television using the remote control, police said.

WHAT!? my gf's 8 year old can't even remember to bathe herself, flush the toilet, or brush her teeth!

RUN AWAY, that's abnormal.

This woman is a loon, too bad it was her innocent friend that will be unimaginably disfigured for life (if she survives). I've read her comments in various news articles. She typifies the "animal as human child" pet owner who views animals as their "children". They even have their own quaint little vernacular; fur kids, fur children, fur parents, fur mom, et. al.

They're almost always animal rights wingnut types. And for some reason, a majority of these types that I've encountered are homosexual. Probably something to do with the whole 'can't produce off-spring by inseminating a turd or muff diving' thing that seems to be the source of much consternation and resentment among some homosexuals (who refer to heterosexuals as "breeders" and not in a benign way).

While some pet owners might use these terms affectionately without going off the deep-end, many actually view and treat their animals through quasi-anthropomorphic or truly anthropomorphic filters that fundamentally blur the distinction between animals and humans. One of the greatest contributors to poor owner-pet outcomes and pets that develop dysfunctional/neurotic/unwanted behaviors are owners who believe their pets are capable of human characteristics such as reason, logic, and human 'feelings'. As a result, they place impossible expectations or responsibility on the pet, interpreting animal behavior and mannerisms through innate or learned human understanding that is valid or appropriate only for humans.

I'm not sure what contribution to the rise of this flakey sub-culture we should attribute to 50+ years of Walt Disney's overt efforts to indoctrinate children with thinly veiled anti-hunting propaganda and anthropomorphic animated films. I'm actually somewhat surprised such pervasive exposure of millions upon millions of children to intentional brainwashing has been so slow to produce effect.

I guess animals are more tastey than they are cute? On second thought, humans may share more in common with animals than I previously alluded.

I've always hated chimps. Nasty turd chucking fuckers. They say that they're closest to us genetically, and maybe thats why I hate them. They have all of humanities crappy qualities only they're stupid and even more disgusting.

If I were that cop I would have blasted that chimp the moment I showed up on the scene.

No idea why you'd want one living with you. I'd rather have a live cougar. At least you wouldn't have to change its fucking diapers before it killed you.

I think this answers the Chimp VS UFC fighter thread.

A chimp this size is probably 5-7x stronger than a human......poor woman never had a chance.

The relationship the owner had with this animal was creepy to say the least....I would not be suprised if it bordered on beastiality.

Fuck that BS. How was she allowed to own a chimp? I thought federal law prohibits it...

Wow, she's suing the estate for 50m, and the state for another 150m.

In December 2009, Connecticut state prosecutors decided not to hold Herold criminally responsible for the attack, but a $50 million civil suit filed by the Nash family is still pending.

Yes people like the owner are extremely dangerous projecting human qualities and thought onto animals. Not to mention they completely disrespect said animal by doing such. They are not humans, stop treating them like humans.

Also, Chimps fucking suck. Baboons are where it's at.
