Слава богу что я живу в Приднестровье / в Молдове
Thank god I am not residing in the United States. We are an uncivilized country where beasts rule. Large pharmaceutical companies control the world, and the smallest of changes - a new shade of hair dye and a haircut - can be deadly...
Apparently, after her 200 lb. chimpanzee was acting up, the owner thought a bit of Xanax might be good to calm him down. I guess she doesn't know that Xanax is a recreational drug for rich kids in American. She's from Connecticut, so i guess she wouldn't know that. Anyways, her beloved chimp Travis didn't respond to the Xanax not to his Elmo doll, and that was deadly. I kind of feel bad for the lady, not the one who owned the chimp, but the one who got mauled. I did almost laugh out loud when I read of the 70 year old rich lady plunging a butcher's knife into her beloved Travis (who continued mauling unaffected by this...)
American tabloid style: 911 tape captures chimpanzee owner's horror as 200-pound ape mauls friend
Russian tabloid style: Шимпанзе погиб от рук полиции
Bad hair days can be deadly, as can exotic pets. Better to adopt a stray dog or cat. Or just read about animality. Or watch zoo porn.
Or better yet, be post-structuralist and read Derrida's The Animal that Therefor I am
Only then can one realize the animal as supplement, not as other, for the "gaze called animal offers to my sight the abyssal limit of the human." Too bad we can't ask Travis about that...
