So what?

I'm sure you've heard about the chimpanzees who attacked some people at a sanctuary this week. I actually saw it on CNN headline early yesterday morning, but I decided to look up an article last night, after a commentor on Brando's blog mentioned one of the victims had his testicles ripped off. Yeah, that seemed worth looking into. Well, the Houston Chronicle ran this article, and the man did indeed have his nose, foot, and testicles ripped off. Wow, talk about your bad day right? Well, the couple who was attacked was visiting a 39 year old chimp named Moe who had lived with them for decades. He was removed from their home for biting off part of a woman's finger, but he was not one of the attacking chimps in this incident. At the end of the article there is an old quote from the victim about the incident that caused Moe to be removed from his home. "Animals bite, people bite, Mike Tyson bites. So what?" You can't help but wonder if he still feels that way now that it was his nuts and not some woman's finger.
