I love animals too much, to find stuff like this funny, and hate who think it is.

Hey, I put the value of lives of animals way above that of a human being's myself. In fact, I'm to the point where if there was a fire and I could only save one.... I'd have to seriously consider whether or not to take my cats or my son. Not to sound all British but... My God, man! Save your son!

Sorry but I don't find something like that funny at all. I'm never take offence at humour so I'm not "offended" or anything but, that just isn't funny. I still find the law odd how an animal will be killed for attacking someone yet a person can mercilessly and brutally murder or rape several people with no remorse....and yet gets a 20 year prison sentence before rejoining society. I'm sure everyone will say "Oh but animals aren't equal to humans" but that's not the point I'm trying to make. I actually agree with you. I also don't understand how we as a species will put a suffering animal out of it's misery, but draw out that of a human as long as possible.

After reading this story, I was actually pretty sad. Espeically when they hunted the chimp down and found him back in his cage, dead. To tell the truth, I almost cried at that part. I really feel horrible for everyone involved, humans and animals alike.
That said, I want the original poster to know that even though that wasn't her intent, I don't hold it against her or anything.

Knock those chimps down a peg. Remind them who's on top of the ladder.

Not to start an out-and-out debate or anything, but...
I think the haughty "I can't believe we shoot chimps but not people" comments are just a little absurd. There was a time when people actually did just that with criminals. Took up torches, tracked the criminals down, and shot, hung, beat, or otherwise killed them.
Society's always got room for improvement, of course, but some of the comments in this thread are just really eye-roll-worthy.

Nobody should have a large monkey or an ape as a pet. Animals are animals and no matter how domesticated they are some times they have moments where they snap just like people. When that happens its best not to have a pet that can grab you, is 6 times stronger then a full grown man, and has razor sharp teeth. Also its not a good idea to try to make a pet out of an animal that murders other animals for fun.

Also its not a good idea to try to make a pet out of an animal that murders other animals for fun. I never understood why someone would want something that can snap you in half as a pet. Same with large cats like tigers. Gee, an animal that was never meant to be a pet mauled you...how shocking! Also, fun fact...chimps for some reason are never put near clowns in the circus because the chimps will try to pull the clowns' faces off. Guess it's the white makeup.

yeah, Smelling their ass or drinking their pee, or riding on a segway. but being shot? Hey, I put the value of lives of animals way above that of a human being's myself. In fact, I'm to the point where if there was a fire and I could only save one.... I'd have to seriously consider whether or not to take my cats or my son. Uh....wow.
