this is a board that talks about issues concerning animals...your own pets as well as animal rights,alerts,bills before congress that need our attention.This is a family board but as abuse cases may be posted it may not always be for the sensitive readers.Please be kind to each other,thanks!
I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask the board to table the monkey discussion. Actually, the discussion itself is fine, but I do ask that barbs aimed toward ChillChick be stopped.
Interestingly as I type this, Fox news has a piece on a custody battle between a woman and the State of Maryland. And the custody is over? You guessed it, a monkey. I suspect she is in violation of the law too and they took her Monkey away. I'll report, you decide. ;)
Tigger: If you are referring to me regarding barbs, then I make no apologies as to what I have said! I have said nothing I wouldnt say face to face. Infact it would be alot worse face to face as I would take action to get that poor defenceless chimp free & back where it belongs.....assuming the story is true!
rod03801: I find it virtually impossible not to mention her character, or anyone one elses for that matter, if they are going to come on here and announce they have a chimp as a pet!
It isnt the same as just having a general conversation 'Primates as Pets' (being the topic). I could quite easily have a discussion about primates being kept as pets, and how utterley wrong & immoral it is, yes, BUT an actual person has announced they have have a chimp as a pet. That to me is the same as someone coming on here announcing any other type of animal abuse.
The person is at fault for that, its cruel, so that is part of the persons character!
Im am so strongly involved in animal rights as Im sure alot of you are aware. Ive made my feelings known on this now. She needs investigating by the Calafornian Authorities for the illegal inprisonment of a chimpanzee!
