Get Your Hands Up You Damn Dirty Ape

From the Austin American-Statesman comes the story of a rogue chimp that got a little too uppity. On March 12 Tony (the chimp) escaped from a research center, stole a dart gun from a university worker who was trying to shoot him, and was finally confronted by one of UT's finest. Imagine the tension in the air as the officer confronted the runaway monkey:

"The chimpanzee started flailing its arms. The officer shouted at least twice that he was going to shoot," the report said. "In fear for his safety, the officer then fired several times, striking the chimpanzee."


He warned the hairy bastard twice that he was going to shoot. Now that's good police work. I'm calling it a good shoot.

Primate on primate violence has got to end. But what can you do to stop it? Make a difference in your community!
