[@violeth2255]

I've actually had to work taking care of a couple dozen macaques, and they also bare their teeth as a sign of aggression. Let me be clear: if that chimp was smiling like that as a sign of aggression, somebody would have very likely been mauled the moment they approached to retrieve the baby. Primates like that are quick to violence when they are like that unless you back off slowly while making the appropriate submissive expression (head tilted slightly whilst moving your lips like you are making a popping sound) and not looking at them directly (and even then they can still end up charging you). What's more likely, given the context of the chimp being raised by humans and chimps generally being quite intelligent, is that the chimp in question has picked up on how humans use smiles and, like a child learning to speak, mimicked it's "parents" in the application thereof. The problem comes in situations where the chimp legitimately feels stressed and/or threatened as people generally wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the learned "I'm happy" smile and the instinctive "Back off now" smile.

1. was the operator 100% traumatized upon learning the truth? 2. I'm not sure if that's a blessing or not, completely forgetting that the animal you loved so much tried to kill you. (I'll stick to cats, though)

[@ethansanchez6267]

​@NinjaFlibble Well they had to remove her eyes, so basically if she hadn't forgotten, the last thing she would have seen for the rest of her life would've been what was equivalent to her own son, tearing her face apart. I'd consider forgetting a blessing, but in most cases where people forget, they seem to wish they hadn't. Then again, I've never had my face ripped off so I can't talk.

[@shadowdroid776]

It's not exactly forgetting the event, but more of repressing it. Think about it: this event was so awful, so traumatizing and hellish, most people wouldn't be able to process what happened entirely. So, the mind subconsciously takes that painful memory and kind of pushes it down, locking it away. That memory is still in there somewhere, it's just not going to be actively remembered because it would cause too much pain for the individual. Basically your mind knows it cannot handle re-living those events at the moment and hides it away. Some people end up remembering repressed memories after some time, some never do. In her case, I would see repressing a chimpanzee attack as a good thing. If that happened to me, I'd never want to remember what torturous agony I was put through.

If you want to be really mad, look up the chimpanzee Lucy, who some 1960s "scientists" literally raised as if she were their human daughter. They taught her to dress herself, make tea, use silverware and furniture. When she became sexually mature, her psychotherapist "father" gave her a playgirl magazine to see if she was aroused by human men (she was). He then tried to introduce her to a male chimp, and she was terrified because she'd never met another chimp before. When she turned 12 and was too strong and dangerous to continue living with them, they just took her to a preserve in Gambia. Even though the people working there said she was not a good fit for rehabilitation and instead should go to a chimp retirement home where she could safely continue to live like she had all her life with all the food, magazines, toys, and tea that she was used to (but maybe not the gin and "alone time" with porn mags and a vacuum cleaner). But her "parents" left her there and returned to the US after a few weeks, and her "dad" published a book about the experiment of raising her that same year that they abandoned her. It was a university student that stayed at the center for years to try and help her assimilate. She never did. She never showed attraction to the male chimps or got a mate. She didn’t want anything to do with the other chimps and was clearly depressed. She refused to eat and would sign "hurt" to the student. It took almost a decade for her to actually begin to integrate with the chimps. A year after she did finally start to live with them, her dead body was found. The student thinks it may have been poachers that killed her (since her hands were missing). If it was, she would have probably just walked right up to them to say hello.

I think it's more that Timothy, to an absolutely bonkers degree, genuinely didn't fear the bears because of his delusions of being actually bonded with them. He didn't act like prey and hung around well fed bears much of the time, so they didn't have as much incentive to hurt him as long as he wasn't TOO much of a thorn in their side... I remember seeing a clip of Timothy talking with a bear walking right by him. The bear decides to take a swat at him and that freakin guy swats back at the bear, and then points his finger at it and admonishes it like it's a housecat. Then starts doing baby talk at it. It's insane and I have never been able to forget it even though I haven't seen the Werner Herzog documentary in like 15 years and am probably remembering some detail wrong.

You know, if Travis was allowed to get his pent-up energy and emotions out instead of being locked and drugged in a house, he probably would have been fine. Animals are not humans, and they can't survive like humans do. As someone who has a lot of exotic pets, you have to let your pets be what they are. You also have to take extreme caution when their routine gets interrupted or emotional trauma is present. They will never behave like a human. Even I'm at fault for almost killing my tarantula while rehousing her. I had to dig her out of her burrow, and despite handling her multiple times with no issue, she was stressed and proceeded to jump out of my hand. If I hadn't caught her, she would have splattered on the ground. Even after catching her, she skittered up my arm, and I had to remain still while she crawled all over me until she calmed down. Instead of catching her in a cup, like I should have done, I figured I could handle her and then put her into a cup for safe keeping. I didn't take into account that I just tore her house up and forced her out of her environment as when I usually handle her, I coax her out very slowly so she can adjust comfortably to being manipulated. It's not her fault for freaking out. It's my fault as her caretaker for not accounting for her emotional distress and what she might do, and that's just a spider! Imagine a tiger, chimp, or bear being put in an uncomfortable situation and having no way to communicate. They're going to lash out, regardless of who's around them. An animal is only as manageable as its needs and desires allow. Instinct WILL kick in when things are abnormal for the animal, and they will respond how they would respond in the wild. Domestication can only happen when the animal is calm and happy. Anything else, and you should expect a wild animal to behave like a wild animal. Even if you've raised a tiger from a cub. You're only its caretaker and WILL become food or a target of aggression if it needs to.

An additional note to this already horrific story. Travis was given a dose of anti-depressants by his caregiver, Sandra, without a doctor's/vet's evaluation. So Sandra just gave doses based off of her own beliefs on what she thought he needed. It's speculated that the attack on Sandra's friend, Charla Nash, was caused by Travis having heavy, negative side effect to the meds, causing hysteria. Sandra was negligent and had the choice to call for professional help when Travis was having his breakdown. Instead, she called Charla to help her control Travis. Sad fact, supposedly Charla often felt uneasy around Travis and only helped as much as she did over the years to support her friend, Sandra. Charla Nash lost both her eyes and cannot see anymore. The eyes you see in her most recent photos are glass eyeballs. If you listen to the 911 call when this attack was occurring, it was incredibly haunting. The screams of Charla in the background while Sandra was losing it over the phone. Rest in peace to Travis and a long, peaceful life for Charla. I pray that no one ever does what Sandra does, ever again.

Some “fun” facts about the bear guy, Tim that op didn’t mention, and got a little wrong: 1.) It wasn’t Rangers who found their bodies, it was a pilot who flew Tim back and forth to the bears, and their bodies weren’t alone when he found them, they were still being eaten. 2.) Tim knew the bear that killed them, and he didn’t like the bear. I believe he nicknamed it Grumpy, because he was an old bear, and didn’t care for Tim. Grumpy was also missing teeth, and the ones he wasn’t missing were just stumps. 3.) Going off of #2, because Grumpy’s teeth were so bad, he couldn’t kill Tim and his gf as fast as other healthier bears could, which means Tim’s and his gf’s deaths were slow and painful. 4.) In the recording (transcription) Tim told his gf to run, but she refused and tried to help him as he was attacked first. It would have been futile for her to run though as there was nowhere to go. They were too deep in the woods where the only way in or out was a small plane with a small runway in the middle of nowhere, and she didn’t have the radio. 5.) When the pilot found their bodies Grumpy was chewing on Tim’s rib cage, and he had already buried some of their remains for later. 5.) Grumpy was killed and their body parts were exhumed for burial, but not all of them were found. So little was found that altogether they could fit into one casket. .) This could have been avoided had Tim decided to leave when he originally wanted to because they were there during bear’s preparation for hibernation where they become desperate to eat as much as possible, and Grumpy with his messed up teeth was especially desperate.

Yeah, I remember the Tredwell(?) documentary called Grizzly Man, and they pretty much said that he and his girlfriend got brutally merced by the bears. Even as a kid, I didn't feel bad for them getting their Darwin Awards. My dad was lucky the bear he encountered in the wild was scared of him as he was of it, and they just fled from each other. Anyone with a single brain cell knows not to fuck with the wild animals that can make you past tense.

I read a bit more about the whole Timothy Treadwell incident And the worst part about it is the fact that the death could've been COMPLETELY AVOIDED EVEN WITH HIM GOING TO THAT CAMPSITE Treadwell actually planned to leave and go back to California earlier but and I quote from the Wikipedia article about his death: "After an argument with the airline ticketer over the price of altering his return ticket, Treadwell and Huguenard made the decision to return to their campsite on September 29 for an additional week."

[@calico_queen8976]

Honestly, I feel bad for both the bear and Timothy's girlfriend. The girlfriend has expressed how uncomfortable she was during the trip and even wanted to leave.

Nothing "more or less" about it, his actions and blatant disregard for literally everybody around him, including the person he's in a relationship with, _directly_ led to his own, his girlfriend's, and the bear's deaths. He has nobody to blame but himself and his own stubborn delusions.

There's a phrase that says "a fed animal is a dead animal." I don't know if he was feeding them but same principle. Animals that hurt humans get put down, and doing stuff like feeding them or hanging around them while they're extremely hungry makes them much more likely to hurt humans.

Well said.

Her name was Missy & she'd grown up with a Hollywood animal trainer. She was very human socialized, but her trainer had given her up b/c big cats stay wild animals, no matter how young they're gotten by humans, & she'd gotten unpredictable. Missy's situation was heartbreaking; she was confined to a fairly small cage while waiting for her quarantine time to pass, & (like all the big cats, all the time) absolutely no one was allowed in with her. She couldn't understand why her former friends wouldn't play with her, & petting her thru the chain link was not satisfying to her. She never would be able to be with her own kind OR humans, for the rest of her life. Her life was a miserable mess, because humans tried to make her be something she could never be.
