This dovetails into the Chimp story I posted earlier.

I love animals.

There is already a backlash against the tiger owners in the states over the loose animal that was shot here in CA.

Here you have two different cases where three animals were put to death unnecessarily.

I'd be more afraid of a chimpanzee than a tiger.

----------------------------------

The tiger had the oppotunity to kill something during it's two week adventure. Those chimps were caged and housed, supervised and kept....

I have no problems with people keeping small exotic animals as pets. Yes, I do wonder about how much better off they'd be free, but then I think of the Mutual of Omaha clips where the poor animal gets mugged and scarfed by his animal friends.

So maybe there is something about keeping these little guys safe from the outside world......
