Chimp farm in Tarpon Florida

[grapevine]

We did service there. The guy even joined the church that ran it. Did not stay active. We had to read scriptures with him. One day I was real close to the monkeys. Almost shaking there hands than had major rashes. MP's wife who was rn said that happened before when I saw her at Stake Conference two days later.

Some of the Apes had tvs in cages. Heard a few drove vehicles to places. Thing is they don't teach what they learn to there children. Chimp farm was interesting place. I never got around to holding any of the apes. Too nervous too. Some Orangutans husband died I guess and they had human emotions. Interesting stinky place to do service.

Another great post, grape.

Wait, the church owns a chimp farm in Florida? If so, that is awesome! I may have issues with a $3 billion mall but I'm perfectly fine with the church's money going to fund a chimp farm.

EDIT: It's not church owned

Probably best that you didn't mess with the chimps. There was a story a few years back about some chimps that escaped an enclosure here in Los Angeles. They set upon a husband and wife who were throwing a birthday party for a different chimp. They managed to kill the man, but not before biting off all of his fingers, and they and they bit the woman's nose off her face. Ever since reading that story, I have committed to leaving chimps alone.

Same here. There was a similar story of a lady getting all of her fingers and her face bit off by her friends chimp who went ape shit. Two or three years, major surgeries, and a face transplant later, she can finally eat solid food.

Yup, that one happened in Connecticut when I lived there. It was terrifying. The lady who 'owned' the chimp let him sleep in her bed, etc, and her friend just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That cute little baby chimp wearing a diaper and doing tricks is one thing, but by the time he is a feisty 130# adult he can rip your arms clean out of their sockets. A 130# chimp is about as strong as an Olympic weightlifter, three times as fast, and has a wicked set of teeth. PS they like to bite off the 'frank and beans' first when attacking a male, if you catch my drift.

In other words, A 130 lb. chimp is like unto TaeKwonDave.

I wondered where that saying came from but shouldn't they have gone with chimp shit.

Chimps ARE apes.
