-Short Attention Span Theater-
When Chimps Attack: Followup
2005-03-18
(via Overlawyered)

Davis has had surgery to reattach his nose and lips, a tracheotomy, and more facial surgery Monday, while he fights off a lung infection. The Davises' attorney, Gloria Allred, says "the family had not ruled out legal action against the sanctuary's owners." Gee, ya think? Mrs. Davis also implied that there would be further negotiation or litigation to have their pet chimpanzee, Moe (not involved in this attack, though he's bitten others) returned to live with them in their California suburb.

#8  Hey, I'd pay good money to see our Commander-in-Chimp bite off Koffi's nose in a Texas Cage match.

#7  Gee, at first I thought this was about some new Bushitlerian humiliation of the LLL.

#5  Attaching the word "attorney" to Ms. Allred is pretty generous. The venerable title of "Self-promoting media HO" lacking much in the way of original thought would be more on the mark. I think Allred should join her clients in the cage with Moe. I would watch CNN to see that.

#4  Suddenly, as animal control entered the sanctuary, one of the chimpanzees broke into song...




How many roads must an ape walk down
Before you don’t call him monkey?
Yes, 'n' how many times must we pick all the locks
Before we can be truly free?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the rotten apples fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a ape look up
Before cages bars dissappear?
Yes, 'n' how many times must we jump a man
Before he begins to cry?
Yes, 'n' how many cakes does that man have to bring
Before he understands he has to share?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a place like this exist
Before it's burnt to the ground?
Yes, 'n' how many years can we stay in this dump
Before all the apes can be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can keepers turn their heads,
Pretending they just do not care?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

#3  What's the big deal? Their own chimp is a biter, too, so they should be accustomed to such things.

#2  The Davises’ attorney, Gloria Allred, says "the family had not ruled out legal action against the sanctuary’s owners."

Thus assuring Ms. Allred of even more face time on CNN...

#1  Wouldn't it be easier all round for them to move into the cage with Moe?
