Chimpanzees Seen Caring For Dying Chimp

[kingbleah]

in nhs your left to starve and die

[JaniceParton]

God! If only we humans could be treated as humainly as the apes. Hospitals make you hang in there, despite your suffering, just to sqeeze every last dime they can from insurance, medicare, personal insurance, and even family members. They make me sick to my stomach

[gunther72]

@veggiewarriors

Yeah, zoos are for profit, and those animals are EXPENSIVE. which is why it's in the best interest of the zoo or park to take care of them or they wouldn't be a zoo for very long.

[veggiewarriors]

Hope people stop supporting chimps in captivity such as Safari Park and donate to protected natural reserves instead.

[gunther72]

@veggiewarriors

Either way the animals are being protected. At least in Zoos they are given better healthcare than most humans do in the United States.

[veggiewarriors]

@gunther72

Imprisonment is not the same as protection. And clearly, you have no clue to the host of physical and mental diseases that develop in captive chimpanzees.

Zoos are corporations that breed animals for profit. Plain and simple.

[jay44571]

why is this so amazing to humans....animals have fucking brains and nerves...therefore the have emotions...thier bodies shoot out chemicals they tell them to be sad just like us...just cause we cant verballly communicate or understand thier facial expressions doesnt mean they dont react to the same stimuli as us....

[excap]

Don't worry Democrats! A.C.O.R.N. will have him registered to vote in time for 2012.

[comingatchu]

@excap

Don't worry Republicans! Rather than spending the money to dispose of the carcass in a responsible way, it was simply tossed in a nearby stream so that the pollution could sicken the less fortunate people who drank the water downstream.

[excap]

@comingatchu Wow, you're so clever! Now go fuck your mother again.

[comingatchu]

@excap

Yes, it was quite clever, wasn't it. Thank you for the compliment!

[excap]

@comingatchu Actually, my comment was sarcastic. Look that word up. And while you have your dictionary open, look up "Liberal Douchebag" and you will see a picture of yourself next to it. Now seriously, please go cut your wrists as fast as possible, I don't want to share the oxygen with someone so stupid any longer.

[comingatchu]

@excap

Gee, you were being sarcastic when you stated that I was clever? Wow, I didn't realize that . :-)

Thanks for suggesting that I reference the dictionary, which can be a very valuable resource in one's pursuit of knowledge. However, Marriam-Webster Dictionary -- one of the most respected names in their field -- doesn't have an entry for "Liberal Douchebag".

How do you explain that?

[chanceleabo]

life is sacred.the instinct to survive is strongest.it seems to me that animals understand this more than some humans do.

[websnarf]

Chimpanzees are our *youngest* ancestoral relatives (bacteria are closer to our oldest)

[Bilalmilla]

It´s funny (actually very sad)...the other day a patient of mine died...and none of her family members had visited her in months eventhough they knew she was passing away...as i tould them,all they said was something like "well one less thing to worry about" -.-

[zerox505]

@Bilalmilla when she died, did she tell you how much of a bad speller you are?

[Rina1ful]

Man.. hardmoney man an signboy.. this is about the chimps?

I say fast come the day that humans realise animals are a dam lot smarter than us humans! They'll outlive us, if left alone by us..

[Watchkeeper777]

Its important that we realise that chimps have the awareness that we humans have and that is why its wrong to hunt them and put them into places where they are mistreated and they need to live in groups to be like they are in the wild.

[signboyy]

chimpanzees are more evolved that right wing humans who are against universal healthcare.

[TheHardMoneyMan]

@signboyy this is called charity. it is in no way similar to a universal pay-for-care through taxation plan as you refer to.

[signboyy]

@TheHardMoneyMan

chimps care for other chimps who are ill or dying.

but right wing humans dont believe in that because they are less evolved.

[TheHardMoneyMan]

@signboyy like I said, caring for another without payment is called charity. Right wing humans are the most financially charitable group there is, not to mention they tend to be the church goers; which in itself provides the community with necessities like health-care, housing, food, etc. Right wing people do believe in caring for others; they don't believe paying the government to take care of people is a good way of doing that. Don't be so simple minded... I dunno, maybe... evolve

[signboyy]

@TheHardMoneyMan

right wing people believe their taxes should be spend on military equipment to kill people but their taxes should not be spent to insure everyone has healthcare.

and some how these right wingers think they are going to get into their make believe heaven with this attitude?

[signboyy]

@TheHardMoneyMan

charity is paying middle class people middle class wages when they do far less work than working class people who make working class wages and cant afford healthcare.

fortunately all of the middle class jobs are going to china and india so that middle class people are being reduced to working class wages. as these middle class jesus freak *ssholes cant afford health insurance themselves, we will be closer to healthcare reform.

[TheHardMoneyMan]

@signboyy I'm saddened to see there are people with such strong opinions with such little understanding as you. First of all, wages/salary is not based on what you think it is. Employers set payroll based on contribution, expenses, and most of all: the quality of the person needed. The more education/skill/potential the person has; the more the employer must offer. Anybody can work in a factory so they don't offer high pay (too many people would do the job for less) .

[signboyy]

@TheHardMoneyMan

the middle class is artificially created. they contribute nothing. they exist to spend their high wages on products and services created by the working class. but now the middle class consumer class jobs are moving offshore so all of these middle class people are becoming working class. which is a good thing because then they too will not be able to afford health insurance and will no longer be obstructionists to healthcare reform.

[TheHardMoneyMan]

@signboyy Remember, there is much more to public policy than emotions. I hope you understand that there is no such thing as free health care or the right to health care. It can never be free because the building costs money with it's various expenses, and doctors cost a lot (I hope you understand why from last post). AND it's not a right because you don't have a right to other people's labor/property. If you want someone to serve you, you gotta pay. Welcome to the real world ;)

[signboyy]

@TheHardMoneyMan

your lack of emotions illustrates why you right wingers are less evolved than chimps.

you nazi right wingers go ahead and keep up your inhumane policies. inhumane policies and indifference to the suffering of the working class is what caused the french revolution and the invention of the guillitine.

[philais]

I think they are smart enough to be able to vote for parliament.

p.s they can probably type better than me too!

[philais]

I think they and smart enough to be able to vote for parliament.

[pheobe1954]

Delreydavid, It is a good job Primates don't speak,They might have coppied your potty mouth, I love Primates and all Animals.

[TheElefaunt]

is this really a surprise to the news and scientist,

their are plenty of examples of them caring and mourning

from elephants to armadillos not just monkeys,

we are animals two we just call ourselves human...

if your that out of touch with your own nature

to not realize your in the same boat then i feel sorry for you.

when you take what we don't know compared to

the difference of how much more we know then animals on our planet

you figure out a tiny fraction is all that separates us.

[delreydavid]

oooh what a fucking suprise scientists!!! I needed you to tell me that animals have emotions? So now you guys know this, maybe you'll think twice before you do cruel and bizzarre tests on them. But knowing man, they will now put electrodes on the monkeys to register emotional responses to viewing the deaths of thier companions. Isnt this the same as when South Park proved that peeing on a monkey makes them go mad? What did they expect?

[Garlannd]

Afterwords they went back to drinking each others' pee and throwing shit at teach other. Dignity indeed.

[DcEatsItsYoung]

@Garlannd

meanwhile, humans were among other horrible things, bombing the shit out of one another. dignity ineed...

[Garlannd]

@DcEatsItsYoung

At least we can do it more effectively. They bash each others' skulls in with rocks!

[DcEatsItsYoung]

@Garlannd

pretty sure we do that too

[Garlannd]

More proof we aren't related to chimps. We leave ours to die on the street with a knife stab wound in them after trying to be a good person.

[blueorangelettuce]

Kind of a dumb piece. Are humans the only animals that feel complex emotion? Of course not! Silly really...

[3star2nr]

arent we all just chimps, with breifs and less chest hairs?

[Smarterthanyouarable]

Maybe humans should be more like chimps. What has been in the news for months is people willing to let other people die as long as they don't have to pay for their healthcare.

[ShaktipatSeer]

It's called "GENETIC MEMORY"

[jawayetti]

I'm glad everyone here is an expert.

[captvanhalen]

One major difference between humans and chimps is that chimps don't exploit each other for a profit. Why? Because chimps don't have fear of death -- you can't extort them. Humans act of fear of death.

[grendelee]

@captvanhalen are you sure? I think that would make them more human then anything...

[captvanhalen]

@grendelee More human? Perhaps, but now we are just arguing semantics. Watch this

watch?v=Xbp6umQT58A

[ZClipze]

@captvanhalen Well they do fear death otherwise they wouldn't flee or have communication when predators are around but they do have less greed and selfishness than many humans

[captvanhalen]

@ZClipze "Well they do fear death ..."

They only fear immediate pain. Humans, on the other hand, can be convinced by torture to give up all of their possessions.

[mo1elftausend]

@captvanhalen search for " Scientists Successfully Teach Gorilla It Will Die Someday " and you will see you are wrong !

[captvanhalen]

@mo1elftausend Thank you for actually proving my point.

This behavior has to be TAUGHT by HUMANS! Man, you really are a slave, you know. Can you still manage to think for yourself?

[mo1elftausend]

@captvanhalen Did you even watch the video ?

[captvanhalen]

@mo1elftausend

Do i have to? I don't think so. I trust that the scientists did teach the gorilla to fear death. Again, this merely proves my point. Animals don't understand these concepts naturally. Humans enslave each other.

By the way -- i doubt you watched the video i linked to as well. You aren't here to persuade me, you are here to persuade others to not believe me.

[mo1elftausend]

@captvanhalen yes you have to because its funny. Anyways. I doubt your point that chimpansees don't exploit each other, as they are social animals.

And because they are social animals they are in discomfort, because one of their mates is sick/dead. Doesn't mean they fear death tho.

[mo1elftausend]

@captvanhalen "You aren't here to persuade me, you are here to persuade others to not believe me. " If you had watched the video, you would have noticed I'm just here to Troll and not to persuade anyone.

[captvanhalen]

@mo1elftausend

I do get a tad defensive here, simply because i cannot see the person i am conversing with and, due to experience here, tend to think others are indeed just being trollish.

My apologies. I will go watch that video now, please do me a favor and watch the one i linked to previously.

[captvanhalen]

@mo1elftausend

Kudos. You got me! :D

Check out this one: watch?v=Csj7vMKy4EI

[3star2nr]

@ZClipze not just chimps, Dogs also mourn their dead, so do wolves and other pack animals.

When A dog loses its owner, or a friend its behavior changes, it lies around alot sighs all the time, and sometimes they dont eat or they will try to run away. They actually miss their masters.

Animals are alot like humans, infact were animals too, so why are we surprized when they behave similar to us?
