I love to watch documentaries, especially ones about animals. Well I recall watching a documentary about this scientific couple who reared a chimpanzee in their home in Africa. The couple treated said chimpanzee like family, taught it sign language, and of course unwillingly taught it human habits. Well this chimpanzee was a male and eventually grew up to maturity. At that point, the chimpanzee became obsessed with the wife. Several times it tried to mate, uh excuse me have intercourse with her. When her husband came close to her, the chimpanzee would attack him. Sadly, they had to reeducate this lovelorn chimpanzee back into the wild.
So why do you think, she rejected the chimpanzee's advances? Perhaps the chimpanzee could have treated her better than her husband. If the husband filed for divorce or wanted to be separated from his wife, on the legal document could he put down "suspected wife to have an affair with chimpanzee"? Why did they make the chimpanzee go back to the jungle, if he was only doing what came natural? What is natural to every male in the animal kingdom?
In the unfortunate event, the chimpanzee did sexually assault the wife, could the chimpanzee be charged with said crime? Plus if the chimpanzee only knows a few words in sign language, how can he have a fair trial? If convicted what type of prison arrangements would have to be made for the chimpanzee? Then in prison, inmates work and some of that earned income is used to pay off their fine. What type of prison job, will a chimpanzee get? What of the parole board?
