Apes of wrath
I’m sure by now, you’ve all heard of the face-eating monkey attack. I kept waiting and waiting for PETA to issue some stupid statement but it never came. There are reports that PETArds are calling the owner of the chimp and gibbon her a hard time.
Finally, Time Magazine did a report on why the chimp attacked. Turns out, it’s because it’s a fucking chimp. Gee, domesticated wild animals some times lose it, who knew?
Update: People don’t like the puns? It is a matter of gibbon take.

I love the puns. Simian other one.
I heard about the monkey behaving badly and thought that they should spank it – until I found out that it wasn’t macaque.
Apes of wrath, indeed.

Has anyone seen the “controversial” cartoon that was in the NY Post yesterday about this incident?
As you can imagine, Al Sharpton is going apesh!t over it…

A *leetle* bit of proof that the 97% in Human-Chimp similarity is just surface detail not brain-function – but for some Humans that’s all there is, surface-level brain function.
And DON’T feed your chimp a glass of wine at a sit-down dinner, laced with zanax.

If she’s not satisfied, whoever sold it to her should give her some silverback.
Damn, that would’ve worked in a conversation. Yeti keep trying.

What I don’t get is why people are trying to ban pit bulls and other politically incorrect dogs but it never occurs to them to ban the animal that has a known predilection for eating the faces, fingers and genitals of people that make eye contact with it.
Seriously, what was that bitch thinking, giving booze and psychoactive meds to a chimpanzee? The effects on humans (who are far more domesticated) is not precisely known. With a monkey, who knows how it will react?

Hmmm. I followed Retro’s link to the cartoon. I knew Obama had SIGNED the ‘stimulus bill’, but I never knew he WROTE the damn thing.
And (follow along here, lefties) if he DIDN’T actually WRITE the bill, where exactly is the “comparison between Obama and a rabid chimp” ?
And why, when so many on the left are evolutionists, is the comparison to a chimpanzee so offensive? (I mean, okay, I could excuse Al Sharpton for this one, being The Reverend, and all- but for the rest of you, you could be RELATED to that poor animal, no?)

It’s a “fucking chimp”?
I’ve heard of all sorts of reasons to keep exotic pets, but that one takes the cake …

On a more serious note, here is something Marko found from a local blogger:
