Part 7/13:
A stark horror story is shared about a man attacked by a chimpanzee—fingers and face ripped apart—demonstrating the animal’s brutal intelligence and sense of fairness (or lack thereof). The discussion reflects on chimpanzee behavior, such as biting off fingers when angry, and compares this primal rage to human jealousy, anger, and the primal instincts that persist even in sophisticated societies.
Further, the narrative touches on lions, the fear of injury in the animal kingdom, and the atrophy of animal features like the lion’s drooping fin caused by captivity-induced depression. The story underscores that animals are complex beings with their own consciousness and emotional lives, often misunderstood or mistreated by humans, especially in captivity or zoos.
