Chimps vs. Raccoon WAIT FOR IT

A Raccoon makes it way into a Chimpanzee enclosure at the St. Louis Zoo. The chimps make it clear to the intruder that it is not welcome.

Monkeys are fucking dicks. I remember when I was in the Caribbean I watched these monkeys pick up a possum... and I hate possums they are ugly dumb shits... and carry it to the top of a tree several times to drop it. I was a little monkey kid and thought it was hilarious. I don't like raccoon's either but watching this makes me want to have Indiana Jones soup.

This is just distasteful, unpleasant viewing. There's nothing even remotely interesting nor redeeming about it. The people laughing are awful. I can't even begin to imagine how this has 20 upvotes.

I don't understand why people are getting their panties in a bunch as much as they seem to do over this video. Especially the people chanting for the guy who was laughing to be torn limb by limb!?

How is it different from a cat playing with a mouse before eating it? Or the thousands of other examples of fucking NATURE!

Maybe something to do with them being bipedal? Might hit a bit too close to home for some people..

Also, there are no rules in the animal kingdom, so there are no "cheap shots".
Humans invented rules to all sorts of things in society, including fighting, and I'm pretty sure other animals don't really have that. At least not towards other species.

I'm not saying I enjoyed what the monkeys were doing to the little fella, but I can understand somebody laughing at the entire scenario unfolding before their eyes. To chant for his head on a stake seems worse than what the chimps were doing.

Ok, I'll bite. I have no issue with the chimpanzees. They are just doing what they do. In the wild they hunt, and they will in captivity given the chance. They also struggle for stimulation in captivity hence the relish with which they approach this situation. It's a game to them, they know no better.

What really irks me about this video is the braying spectators. They way they find it funny that the raccoon is being treated this way. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's OK to take pleasure in the suffering of another animal. They are laughing at an animal being hurt.

The chimps don't understand the situation, but the laughing idiots should. There are funny things in nature and there are horrific things in nature. The chimps are blameless, but that doesn't stop what they're doing from being horrific.

That's what my issue with this video is. By upvoting a video here people are saying 'yes, I enjoyed watching that'. I can't imagine who would enjoy watching this demonstration of the awfulness of people.
