Terrible thing to say. You vile, vile creature.

ReptileSeeker uses that Internet language so they probably have the mental age of a chimp.

About 5km from where we lived was a chimp santuary and the star inhabitant was an adult male chimp called 'Bruno'. To cut a long story short the chimps escaped due to a failure in the electric fence. Two Americans along with a local national were driving up to the sanctuary and were attacked by a group of the chimps, the LN was killed and one of the Americans suffered severe injuries at the hands of Bruno. This included being castrated, multiple broken bones and severe injuries to his face and hands. If an adult male Chimpanzee decides to turn on its owner, no human is a match for it and will get second prize in the fight for sure.

This was on a documentary on nat geo a couple of days ago. As far as I remember 'Bruno' and 5 other have still not been captured. They also said the chimps used tools to pick the locks and break them.

The reason they got out was that the owners of the santuary went on holiday and left the locals who worked there in charge, instead of using the money they had been left to buy fuel for the generator they absconded. I haven't seen the documentory but I can tell you what happened to the chimps. Some of the smaller ones were recaptured in the vicinity of the santuary but a group of larger ones, including Bruno, headed for an area near the Guma dam. Bruno and 4 others were shot by ITATT (Infantry tactics and training team) from the British Army. I can assure that this happened because I was part of this team and witnessed the shooting.
