Welcome to Chimpout!
Enjoy the relief you will feel by sharing stories and venting about the animals that make us miserable!
Welcome. Great handle. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of gorillas out of Rwanda.
Dian, I just realized where your name came from after Ignatow mentioned it and found this little gem bit of info which I have never heard before:
DAYUMM!!Quote:
Fossey was reported to have captured and held Rwandans she suspected of poaching. She allegedly beat a poacher's testicles with stinging nettles. In a letter to a friend, she wrote, "We stripped him and spread eagled him and lashed the holy blue sweat out of him with nettle stalks and leaves…" She even reportedly kidnapped and held for ransom the child of a suspected poacher. After her murder, Fossey's National Geographic editor, Mary Smith, told Shlachter that on visits to the United States, Fossey would "load up on firecrackers, cheap toys and magic tricks as part of her method to mystify the (Africans) in order to hold them at bay." She wore face-masks and pretended to practice black magic to scare away poachers.
Dr. Doolittle had nothing on her. She didn't just talk to the animals, she knew how to really get their attention!
Hehh hehh...Quote:
Writing in The Wall Street Journal in 2002, the journalist Tunku Varadarajan described Fossey at the end of her life as colorful, controversial, and "a racist alcoholic who regarded her gorillas as better than the African people [sic] who lived around them".
Oh, yeah... I think you'll fit right in here - just fine!
