And if you're not familiar with "Chimp Crazy," check out the trailer:Nice story, too bad it’s made up of multiple random clips. Also, did dude repair the fence after cutting or just leave it that way for the owner to deal with?

People are delusional about wild animals. That reminds me to get back to my rewatching of "Grizzly Man."

This reminds me of the story I once heard from a lady around here about a rabbit that was protecting its mate that had been killed on the road. I thought it was a good story until one time I saw a rabbit by the highway humping a rabbit freshly killed by a car.
Now do a similar story about coyotes.
Deer that haven’t already been tamed don’t act like that.
The domesticated dog is the only animal that will ask a human for help.
They call it “fuck like bunnies” for a reason, laddie buck.
I once heard that there was a chimp that won the 400 meter race at the 1908 Olympics.
Tim Treadwell fed the bears himself.
Also in the reminds me of a story category, I recall some folks who had a pet chimp turn on them and at least seriously injure them. We tend to forget tha any of our pets are often moderating their instinctual impulses.
We're delusional. But fighting back. Bought a lo 2 acres on the St Johns River. It came with a female wood fowl who instantly befriended us. Couple of crackers, some left over fowl feed and now she's at our back door pecking the glass to be fed. Constantly. It also turned into her bathroom area with daily piles of duck shit to be washed away and cleaned up.We stopped feeding her. No avail. Turned the hose on her. She doesn't like it but it doesn't stop her. Firecrackers. Scared of them but not enough to vacate her shitting and door pecking. Next is a fence around the river patio. Or maybe borrow the neighbors chocolate lab. Mallory (we even named her) is a nice fowl but she's very intrusive. Our bad.
The chimp was named Trevor and he was on Xanax. Ate a woman’s face.
Saw grizzly man back in 04. Don’t think I could rewatch…but its life lessons whisper in my ear from time to time. People are humanizing animals because they believe, deep down, that humans are on the same level as animals. They have rejected God’s order of creation— that we are made in God’s image, that male and female He created them. And in treating beasts like the folks, reading them bedtime stories, watching Netflix on the sofa with your pet puma, of course we are stripping beasts of their right to harmony with creation..to live fully as God created them.
I remember a story, lady changed her hair visiting her friend, who happened to own a chimp. Chimp didn't recognize her and attacked and killed her.
I blame Walt Disney....
That "child" and all his simian cousins are kept in cages.... So she engages in mass child abuse?
Yep. All fun and games with chimps until they chimp out. Then they put off your fingers, gouge your eyes out, and pull off your face.
It was a tame doe... and fawn. I hunt deer and I can tell you no wild deer will do that... period.
I wonder what JD Vance thinks about childless ape ladies?
It must have been some sort of selfie video, since there are no wild whitetails in any nation which drives on the left. That alone is highly suspect.
"Chimp Crazy" is not about that one chimp who ate a woman's face. That incident comes up, but the lady at the center of this story is a different lady.
Yes, she’s “different” alright, lol.
"It was a tame doe... and fawn. I hunt deer and I can tell you no wild deer will do that... period."
I make no comment as to the veracity of the story. And I too hunted deer and watched them flee time and time again. However, it is also the case that they can become extremely tolerant of humans.
We spend the summer in a house in the woods in northern Wisconsin. Deer visit the property every day and are very tolerant of our presence. While I have never attempted to approach to petting distance, it is common for me to pass within 10 feet of them while going about my business. They just stand and watch. Sometimes at closet approach I'll stop and stare back until one of us, usually me, gets bored and goes on our way.
"It must have been some sort of selfie video, since there are no wild whitetails in any nation which drives on the left. That alone is highly suspect."
There are a lot of deer in New Zealand, including I believe but am not sure, whitetail. Introduced and now a nuance, of course. They are also raised on farms there.
Timothy Treadwell had a pretty good run of it, all things considered, and there are worse ways to die than getting eaten by a bear.
Video, or it didn't happen!
AI: "Video coming right up boss."
There is something therapeutic and calming about animals, in nature, until there isn’t. That cute Bison in Yellowstone that you want a picture with? They are placid grazing herbivores. Except when they decide that you are a nuisance. Then, very possibly lights out, for you. We love our deer and Turkey in our yard. The cat gets most of his exercise window surfing around the house, following the deer. And the dog, a fraction of their size, thinks that he can chase them. But it turns out that they are very likely the most dangerous wildlife, in MT, to humans. Those tiny heads of theirs house tiny brains, and they very often don’t understand the danger of cars on the highways that they are trying to cross. Then, worse, they freeze, in the middle, unsure of which way to go, so don’t. Our cat sitter lost her spleen, and almost her life, two years ago, on her way to work (at the local vet, so I knew that she had flipped her jeep trying to avoid the deer).
When I lived near Carnyville (Gibtown), Florida, there was a big animal rescue for sideshow animals who lived with their handlers off-season, often just sitting around watching tv, drinking beer, and eating junk food with them. One rescued carny bear was so obese she could only move by rolling on her back. They were trying to bring her back to health by just feeding her carrots. Apparently she had gotten that way eating Cheetos.
I feel like there's more to the story.
They also had an amateur professional wrestling school, where people went to learn how to pretend to hit each other over the head with chairs and flip off the sides of boxing rings.
Good times.
Duck season is coming soon.
They have crappy eyesight during the day. If they can't smell you or hear you they will walk up to you. One good wiff though and off they go. They're pretty dumb animals until thay're smart.
No. No there isn't. They don't kill you first. They go immediately for the soft parts. He and his girlfriends deaths were a horror show.
"They have crappy eyesight during the day."
If you're moving, they see you just fine. But yeah, if you're motionless and they haven't seen you yet, you might as well be a tree.
Anthropomorphism is a valid way to look at animal behavior, as long as you remember they're not humans and their reasons for acting nice, or mean, is instinctual and survival based. Now imagine yourself trying to survive, and how you'd treat strangers who stuck themselves in your life for a video.
Chimp Crazy = the left from 2000-08.
Ellen DeGeres when she was new:
" Saw a deer standing still while I drove down the road the other night"
"Awww,, the things you see when you don't have a ....rifle
Saw a squirrel eating its dead friend ( or relative)
Yes, but they can be counted on one hand.
Oh… and that’s one of those “easy things to say”…
I often hear of similar experiences with africans.
I'm sorry to say, I regret to report, I find I've become a crazy orangutan lady. My comfort TV watching is the Smithsonian Channel's "Orangutan Jungle School." Those baby orangutans are adorable and I want to cuddle all of them! At least I have the excuse of having had a couple of strokes. Who am I, what happened to my brain?
We had a mini Rex bunnies that humped everything in sight but especially his liter ice bottle we put in his cage in summer to keep him cool. He’d hump that or my wife and daughter’s feet. They are crazy horny all the time.
Literally chewed her face off. She got a transplant I think.
I'm at the age where I'm starting to see a lot of people die, and in the process of dying, of illnesses and natural causes, and I can name more than five ways I found worse than getting mauled to death by a bear. YMMV. And it is not just an "easy thing to say" because once you've decided, you pretty much don't have any further say in the matter, and no one will blame you for screaming.
Don Marquis had something to say about it as well: https://nationalmothweek.org/2013/08/20/the-lesson-of-the-moth-by-archy-a-poem-by-don-marquis/
Doe (female deer), Fawn (deer youngling), Buck (male deer). Baby Fawn is redundant.
