The person killed was someone visting the lady who owned the ape. Not sure how that is natural selection as you called it. So if you go over a friends house and their dog tears you apart we should just laugh and call it natural selection?

No, I think he is talking about the 80 year old person killed.

Would you go over someone's house that kept a Chimp? How about a Grizzly Bear? If you did you'd be just as stupid and deserve to get eaten IMO. Michael Vick isn't my friend nor would I visit his house.

I shot the last dog that tried to bite me.

A few points:

1. I lay the blame for this chimpanzee business squarely at the feet of Clint Eastwood. Every Which But Loose and its brilliantly titled sequal, Any Which Way You Can apparently convinced too many people that primates make great pets.

2. As regards the NYP, most political cartoons are not funny anyway, so to fault the comic nature of the piece as a kind of fall back criticism is a little too easy. The logic seems to be "It's not explicitly racist, but we don't want to let Murdoch and his boys off the hook completely, because we know they're evil, so we will find them guilty of being unfunny."

The worst thing you can say about this cartoonist is that he should have realized that in the age of Obama, the Al Sharptons of the world have a desperate need to demonstrate that America is still as racist as ever, maybe even more so, because that's how they make their living. No racism, no money. No racism, no need for the NAACP at all.

Maybe I just like cats, but I'm not finding it funny to see him get his head bashed in like that.

I thought it was just a special effect, was it real?

I don't know, if it's fake then yeah it's pretty funny.

a similar attack happened in CA a few years ago. a couple took care of old aging movie star animals, a few were chimps. one day (maybe due to a womans perfume) they went nuts on the couple, ripped of the guys genitals, ripped off their fingers, bite off the ladies nose, i think the guy died.

and yeas i get alil freaked out at the natl zoo when those silverbacks lock eyes on you, they look very very pissed off. i would rather have to fight a bear or shark vs a chimp or ape b/c chimps/apes go ape shit on you. im surprised the mafia didnt use these guys instead of hanging dudes over the tiger area.

under the law (sorry) if you own a wild pet like a chimp or tiger you are strictly liable for any damage done. which means you are screwed if something happens.

go skins!!

This chimp, as I understand it, was pretty well known in the town. Even the police were aware, yet nothing was ever done such as removing the pet from the home. If I remember right, some new law was passed recently about having wild animals as pets but this chimp was grandfathered in (though some are now saying that never happened or never should have happened). Anyhow, with the common knowledge that this pet existed yet nothing was done then I'd think it'd be hard to press charges.

I also heard that this is a friend that visited fairly frequently but she had recently changed her hair style, or dyed her hair maybe and the chimp didn't recognize her.

It's an unfortunate situation. I don't know what natural selection has to do with any of it.

The woman had changed both her hair style and her car and also had brought a stuffed elmo toy as a gift for the Chimp. I guess, somehow, this combination set him off.

It sounds like just a really unfortunate combination of things.

This is my favorite sentence ever. May I make it my sig please? I know I am often a sarcastic bastard, but I am in bitter earnest when I say that this sentence is unparalelllled in its brilliance. I think it's the use of "This Chimp" instead of "The Chimp" that won me over. Or perhaps its the folksy clause, "As I understand it" with it's echoes of Sinclair Lewis, Thornton Wilder, and Edward Arlington Robinson, that sealed the deal. Then you go "the town" instead of "this town" or "that" town. That's how Steinbeck would have played it as well. It absloutely sings, this sentence.
