This baby chimp was HOWLING in fear, and kept looking up at attack, then looking at its Mom, then grabbing onto its Mom's hairy coat and holding on in total terror.

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.

Im not going to watch it now, but i think ive seen it. Scary ****. They were making a lot of noise, running all around, i think they also used sticks. They literally tore the chimp to pieces. So yeah, clearly close relatives of ours, thats what we keep doing to eachother.

This makes me sad, apparently this chimp was still a baby and didn't have its adult teeth yet. I wish Lee would have sent them off to a zoo or somewhere that would acclimate them back into the wild.

I just caught this on the news:

The police were going to tranquilize both of them, but the male was suspected of having an online poker account so they took matters into their own hands.

Crazy people keeping crazy pets. These selfish people are all talk until something bad happens and they call it a fluke. Ridiculous.

If you are at the final table with Lee Watkinson, and you cannot spot the chimp within 5 minutes, it is you.

Re: Lee Watkinson's rescued chimp shot dead

Glad they shot the chimps. These are dangerous, dangerous animals. If they were out on the loose it's completely right that they were shot.

If one of them came anywhere near my house/family I'd shoot it instantly and ask questions later. The damage they can do to a human being in seconds is horrific.

Re: Lee Watkinson's rescued chimp shot dead

wow, since when are chimps the enemies of america???

you know what i'd shoot on the spot if i saw near my home? a ****in terrorist. a chimp; i'd buy a ****in butler suit, worry about getting the thing tailored later and get all up in his face trying to put the thing on him and then immediately start sending out apps to butler college.
