That series is really good, but chimps can be incredibly dangerous when in close proximity to humans. In rural Africa, there have been numerous reports of conflicts with wild chimps, including them abducting and killing children. https://archive.ph/2b4MJ https://archive.ph/2b4MJ
- hulitu 3y agoYou know what animals "can be incredibly dangerous when in close proximity to humans" ? Dogs. The only difference seems to be that the Dog is man''s best friend.
- swalling 3y agoThis is an incredibly weird comparison. Chimps are wild animals. Dogs are fully domesticated animals. Almost half of households in the US have a dog. If packs of wild dogs roamed around occasionally eviscerating children you can bet people would shoot them too.
- stevenwoo 3y agoThe decision to kill the orphan baby chimp does not make any sense when they justified the shootings as imminent danger to human life - something five times stronger than a human baby still is not very strong. Maybe it's a mercy since they orphaned it a second time with a rifle but it just sounds like that zoo/park should not be allowed to keep primates.
