Re: Horrifying things

[(Anonymous)]

I see your point, but the problem is that attacking babies/children isn't an isolated incident that only this one chimpanzee does. It's a problem that chimpanzees have in general-- something about a primate its size or smaller are viewed as a threat and triggers an instinctive fight response. It's horrible, but it's not the chimpanzee's fault. That's why there were rules about no kids near the chimpanzees' territory.

ayrt:
I did see in the article that this is a behavior in chimps in general (shudder), but I think there are some serious problems with this specific incident. Sure there were rules banning children for good reason, but this one attacked a group/pair of people.

As it was previously known to be very aggressive to other animals and humans alike, and taking the baby from the harness/arms of the girl rather than this being an instance where the child wandered off, they should have done something.
