I despise chimps (and monkeys) with a passion. Saying this to people gets me treated like saying I torture puppies for fun, which I most certainly do not, but I just think they're evil little fuckers. I would never harm one, because it has every right to live, but I don't want to go see them at the zoo, I don't want anything to do with them, and I don't understand the fascination seemingly everyone has with them. They creep me out. They're like little humans, except when a person gets mad for a stupid reason you can at least try to talk them down and reason with them before they get out of control, a chimp will just rip your face off.
