[Miranda_]

The really stupid thing is that a lot of these people who make pets out of chimpanzees would throw up their hands in horror at the thought of someone having a pet tiger or crocodile. They just about have grasped the fact that those animals are dangerous wild animals, but not their precious pet chimp.

Ironically, a gorilla would be less dangerous than a chimp, despite the fact that the gorilla is demonised in TV and movies as being a monster and chimps are generally shown to be cute and cuddly.
