Disgusting display of human beings wanting control over anything
Disgusted by the entire way supposedly compassionate humans want to make something God made into something THEY make, completely messing up the order of life. It's sick how much I agree with many who have posted because, yet again, some humans have proved to be complete morons at times. All they did was take the innocent life of this poor chimp in the name of "science". Showing once again, that putting any animal in a dysfunctional environment will make them a product of that environment. Think of the similarities of this documentary in its beginning stages that set up the mindset of this poor chimp vs the mindset of human beings when all they know is what they see from their parents:
A " mother" and "father" with a sexual past=a divorced couple
The "father" comes in for a few hugs while taking the credit every blue moon=the divorced man being able to do as he wishes and let his ex raise the kids alone mostly.
The "other woman"=Then the infamous 2nd, younger, hotter, trophy wife wanna be comes into the picture, who worships the idiot like a God with all this "power" that her vagina is so freaking wet to take over and be the EVERYTHING to the "father" that she insults the "mother" constantly on how the child was raised, takes over like a empty womb mother/vagina driven control freak & the "father" with his penis still wet agrees that oh my gosh you are soooo right! Lets take the child away-LONG after he gets to (like human beings) find a partner at a young age, want to be a family, have kids, uh oh...too much responsibility... Get divorced, free to be alone and sleep with anyone, hence WAY younger women who have competitive/control issues, agree with them because their 2nd brain is the only one working, go back to the "mother" to try and win control and "save the day" all because of a piece of ass.
The "father" gains control gets the chimp, plays house with the dumb broad, becomes "responsible" again for a family, the challenge again is gone, gets bored, dumps the slut, she can't handle it being her this time in THAT role like the first woman, up and leaves the child, father has no "cause" anymore, gets bored & throws away the child.
NICE!!!!! Now the "chimp" is NO different than the dysfunctional society we have become due to our self indulgent, egotistical, sex crazed driven, control freak role models. Our divorce rate is thru the roof and morals are out the window. Oh yeah!!!! Lets throw a "chimp" in there so we can teach it sign language and make IT adapt to our "wonderful" ways. Guess what, the chimp ends up like the human child does, abandoned, alone, pushed aside, trying to make it in an unfamiliar environment. Give yourselves a big pat on the back, you accomplished ruining some other creature in your egotistical quest.
Maybe, it'd be more scientific & more progressively successful if the Chimps did the experiment on a human being.
This documentary is just a gross display of ethics, morals, values, or anything "right".
