apes broadcast lion hunt - wildebeest outraged - protest

[RWebb]

For the first time, primates have captured an actual lion hunt in progress and broadcast it live onthe internet and as stored video.

Warren Wildebeest immediately protested, say "Hey! How about a freakin' heads up for us next time? That was my Aunt Matilda that got snuffed by that stinking cat. Or launch a drone and kill the cat, huh? Dang monkeys!"

Attempts to interview the lion pride members failed. A number of reporter's body parts have been located nearby.

However, zoo lioness Leona, who watched the video from her enclosure in San Diego, did comment that "This was just like usual -- the females do all the work, while the male lions sit around, scratch their manes and fart. It is totally unfair, and we demand equity. Leona ranked the neck grab as an 8.3 with extra points for a good stalk."

Love how the Zebras kinda just watch for a bit then go back to grazing.

Lions seem tame compared to how the Crocs work the beasts...

"Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Reminds me of the two guys packing for a camping trip.

Friend 1) Why are you packing running shoes for a camping trip?

Friend 2) In case we come across any bears.

Friend 1) You ain't gonna outrun a bear.

Friend 2) I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun you.

Don’t get it, why do Zebra’s and Gazelles always stand there and watch when a camera crew is around?

They should know by now if you see camera’s, run like hell!
