Just goes to show that chimps are close to humans. This baby chimp new what it was seeing. I'm not even going to look that clip up. Total fear and panic that little chimp was displaying, just watching that stuff.

P.S. Here's the brutal video. Very graphic. At least, I think this is it. I will NOT watch it again to make sure, but you can.

How was that filmed? How was the cameraman not running for his life?

As sad as it is

Certainly it was a noble act to rescue the chimps in the first place. But, on the other hand, it is also true that if Lee had done a better job of fulfilling his responsibilities as the chimps' keeper the dead one wouldn't be.

Plus all you jokers in here saying Lee shouldn't have had a pet chimpanzee are more than retarded. He and Timmy rescue these animals. Most were used in the film industry where once they serve their purpose are generally left to die without any human compassion whatsoever.

Re: Lee Watkinson's rescued chimp shot dead

Another great US police episode

They can't make the diff cause most of them are inbreds with their chimps on their mother-side.

officiously, most police officers in the US are Orcs.

Re: Lee Watkinson's rescued chimp shot dead

anybody who thinks any human could kill an adult chimp with their bare hands is sorely mistaken. you'd have to choke em out and they've got a longer reach than Ali AND they can use their feet as extra fists.

this is why I release as many urban chimpanzees as possible into the Nevada desert whenever I'm in town.

I dont know... if I saw a 150lbs chimpanzee coming at me with blood in his eyes, I would have wasted him to.

there are people in OOT who think 12 humans could take out 1 silverback gorilla.

the initial casualties will deal a severe blow to morale. I don't believe they'd be successful.

but hey! look, if I get to be emperor of the Americas in this timeline, i'll definitely make it happen.

Assuming arguendo that he does not attempt a spinning back fist, Sonnen could easily take the chimp by himself.

Re: Lee Watkinson's rescued chimp shot dead

Chimps get shot every day. Just because this is a famous poker-playing chimp we shouldn't get overly upset, unless we are committed to fighting for the justice of chimps worldwide. I'm game for that, who's with me?
