Have I ever mentioned how much I respect this woman?

Here's a concept: tribal war, murder, rape, and cannibalism are all natural aspects of wild chimpanzee behavior. NOT coyote behavior.

Chimps are very violent, naturally. They will attack and eat chimp (and human) infants, and yet gorillas, which are far more gentle naturally, have a much worse reputation.

It's also disturbing to realize that chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans- unfortunately, it may be that violence and agreession are programmed genetically.

Humans as a whole are ridiculously ignorant about natural animal behavior.
I've always had issues with people who put shock collars on dogs to "train" them not bark. If you don't want an animal to act like a dog, don't get a dog. Sheesh.
