Further to Steve's Post About the Monkey




So let me get this straight. Someone takes a chimpanzee out of its natural wild African habitat and trains it to semi-function in upper middle class North American society. "Travis" behaves remarkably well, learning to dress and bathe himself and use a computer, but has one unfortunate lapse when he viciously attacks a 55-year-old woman who was probably mildly over-bearing anyway, and what do we do? Shoot him. Great.

You tell it to the victim there, Fay Wray. Chimps are face-eating bastards even in their own natural environment. Good thing our species is armed against this menace.

Let's not demonize the chimp-we are chimps. (He apparently being territorial.) If he'd been a full human, he could have perpetrated any number of worse crimes--cut her head off on a bus, abducted her and tortured her with acid, shot her up with her grandson in the back seat...and that's just what a Canadian ape-human could have done to her...

I understand the cop shooting him, I just don't understand why the silly douche left his door unlocked.
