Hillarious... You just couldn't make this up....

I've got guns too so you better show me the hatchlings! I'm waiting for my girl to shed and hopefully lay something. This is the "male" that turned out to be female......

OK... I'll get Joel to sort out taking some pics.....
We lost half the eggs so we ended up with 6 healthy hatchlings... 5 of which have fed... God I hate the stress of GTP... Lucky for me Joel and Tom do all the hard work concerning them.......LOL
 
5 out of 6 is great! Be happy with that! We'll see what happens with mine and I'm looking forward to seeing baby pictures. I was chewed on by one of the new babies I bought. I named it 'Tude for good reason...it is pure evil. Don't understand it as it has Sorong in there. Must take after dad or something.

I have a great aptitude for not being bitten... So much so I take real chances.... One of the reasons hots are not here atm as I know I would have to try... And the reason I kissed an adult GTP... Good photo, but I just know they wanted to get the attached to my lips shot....:dgrin: LOL.
And yes... seriously... They do like to define their boundaries....

I find it hard to believe. I would imagine that in normal (is there such a thing) situations, the chimp would have scared itself once the rifle fired. They would be conditioned to fear it. Dropping the rifle and running would have made more sense than it standing there shooting the circle of soldiers. The wonders of photoshop......

When Janine said "baby," she meant it. That chimp is under the age of 4. As in, it's not even past weaning age. So for this to be real it would have to be an orphan. No orphaned ape would be that self-composed, and orphans are going to have good reason to be terrified of gunshots, as they will likely have experienced them in the traumatic setting of having their mother shot and being stripped from her.

If you google what an AK-47 sounds like, you find youtube vids that you can listen to. To me it doesn't sound too similar, but I don't know anything about guns.
 
This baby I got bites everything and everyone. I'd kiss Tempest on the mouth, or Whisper but no way would I kiss...well Brutus for example or Dante.
I'm pretty sure as far as the video goes it's a fake, but it's funny in a pitiful way.

When I first viewed the video, I did not look for any of the technicalities (nor think about the meat/orphan possibilities)... just, mindlessly, enjoyed the video. Thus, was able to enjoy it, as "funny", and see the human stupidity aspect (even if faked, such stupidity does exist).
However, aside from the other possible issues, with the vid (its being faked), what gets me is the following. ...
Even if the chimp is used to gunfire, an AK-47 has a kick, to it, and has a rise as it is being fired. I did not see a rise and, certainly, did not see a kick. The way the chimp was holding the AK-47, you should have been able to see it (aside from the chimp, possibly, losing the weapon when first fired).
So ... :shrugs:

I didn't think it was funny. But I never think that people teasing animals is funny, which is what those guys in the video were doing. :poke: As such, it just make me feel sad and anxious, and would have regardless of the age of the chimp.

I understand and ... can, certainly, appreciate that.
 
Just wanted to add that, if I were to see an animal being, outwardly, teased (or if one were abused, etc.) ... I would be quite enraged.
Thing is that I did not see an outward teasing of the chimp. However, I do understand that everyone's sensibilities/views differ. Now, the fact that the chimp could have been hurt (if this were real), does give me pause.
Regardless, the only point I was trying to convey, with my post, was about the AK-47 (with how, ~upon first viewing~, I didn't take any factors in as to whether it was fake or not ... or anything else really).
That said ... and with this video aside ... Alas, I do find ~some~ human stupidity rather humorous (although I am sure not everyone does).
