Kenders' Musings

Linked in the title is the story about the people attacked by the chimps in Caliente, Ca.

This is a sad story of a man that got badly mauled by chimps that broke out of their cage. However I am also taking excerpts from a story in the Mercury News. (free subscription to view story)

Bold is from me and are key phrases that need to be pointed out.

SAN FRANCISCO - A man who was severely mauled by two chimpanzees at an animal sanctuary last week was quickly overwhelmed when the apes attacked, his wife said Monday.

"One was at his head, one was at his foot. But all that time ... he was trying to reason with them," a sobbing LaDonna Davis told "Good Morning America." "I couldn't do anything."

Did you read that??? He was trying to "reason" with them!!! 'Wild animals are attacking me, perhaps if I try to talk them out of it and show them what a great person I am they will stop.'

Experts in primate behavior told The Associated Press last week that male chimpanzees in the wild are intensely territorial and often are violent, sometimes killing chimps from neighboring groups. A typical chimp weighs between 120 and 150 pounds and is much stronger than a human.

Well DUH!!!

In her interview on Good Morning America the victims wife, LaDonna Davis said "You can't discriminate. We don't know about [their] background or childhood," and also "Maybe once [the chimp] got into it, he found it gratifying," when she was theorizing that the male chimp wanted to show dominance.

I want to point out that phrase. "You can't discriminate. We don't know about [their] background or childhood,".

Did you get that? Maybe these chimps had "bad childhoods" and THAT is why they were attacking her husband.

See? Now it all makes sense. Maybe if a wild animal attacks you and he suffered from a "bad childhood" you can TALK him out of trying to kill you.

Here another line from the story on ABCs webite that I just howled about. (remember, this is a sad story)

"Gloria Allred, the couple's attorney, who also appeared on "Good Morning America," called the chimp attack "ironic" because of the Davises' love for the animals."

First off, do you think that Gloria Allred, (ambulance chaser supreme IMO) was this couples attorney BEFORE the attack? Yeah.

Also, is "ironic" a good word here? Is it "ironic" if you love good whiskey and it gives you scirhossis? Or is it perhaps a very good possibility?

Allred the ambulance chaser went on to say "No one loves chimpanzees more than St. James Davis and LaDonna Davis, they spent their whole life loving Moe the chimp, who has been like their child."

Well maybe Moe didn't tell his cellmates what nice people the Davis' are huh? Or maybe Moe talked alot of shit about the Davis' and how they put him in this place and rarely came to see him and this was simply a case of "Monkey Vengeance". Too bad the death penalty was already handed down. That would have made for a riviting trial huh?

Maybe even better than the Peterson Show.

One last quite before I shoot off on a rant.

"But LaDonna Davis said she will keep loving chimpanzees, saying it is unfair to say all chimps are dangerous because of the actions of these two."

Now is it me or is this the same kind of claptrap that I hear about radical islamic terrorists?

Is this not the same line of reasoning we hear from the left constantly about "reasoning" with the animals that want to destroy us and saw our heads off in the name of allah (piss be upon him)?

Is anyone else out there seeing a pattern? Does this not sound like the same kind of shiite that constantly spills from the mouths of the appeasers in europe and here?

As I said, this is a sad story, and I do feel sorry for the man, but I can't help but think that maybe he made a bad choice, maybe trying to "reason" with an animal that goes on instinct will earn you the asskicking, or the mauling, or even the beheading that you deserve.
