    A few of my friends keep telling me to watch a recent HBO show called Chimp Crazy, which mentions this incident among others. Chimpanzees can pull with roughly 800lbs (~360kg) of force, meaning they can literally rip parts of your body off (which also happened to the victim in the OP). If you’re going to have a pet, probably best to ensure it’s one that isn’t disproportionately stronger than you are. But really, just don’t be a dumbass and keep exotic pets that can easily slaughter you.

    You can see he is not healthy. The guy is obese. Fuck people that keep wild animals in captivity… unless they need to be rescued.

    And just because we are here Fuck Sea World

    If you want a pet, get a dog. Much friendlier and very low risk of ripping your arms and face off.

      I’ve seen poorly raised dogs mauling children. 100% the fault of the owners for being dipshits, but even domesticated animals are a risk. An animal is an animal, we are not masters of the universe, we can’t control them. Just, be wise and learn how to properly train and socialize a dog. Even my lovely poodle who had never even growled in 6 years, once threatened to bite another dog in the park because the owner thought it was fine to leave him off the leash and it came at her aggressive and too fast. She was fine with the other properly socialized dogs, but this one overstepped the boundaries and almost got hurt. The owner liked to claim she had trained her baby, but there she was screaming like a hysterical idiot and being completely ignored by her perfect angel who thought he could prowl the world. That dog got lost for two days not much later.

        “Sandra, at this point, believing Charla to be dead, then rushed to her car, locked herself inside, and called 911. Travis’s screams can be heard in the background at the start of the tape as she pleads for the police, who initially believed the call to be a hoax until she said, “He’s eating her!””
