Relishing in the misfortune of others who did nothing more than be in the wrong place at the wrong time...............the definition of a DB.

Your description would better apply to someone hit by an asteroid or lightning! These animal "lovers" foolishly placed themselves in close proximity to animals in the mistaken belief that animals view people as fellow travelers rather than an easy meal!

From what I saw on a news feed from a South African station, the gent knowingly climbed into what had been marked as a "no-go" zone by the sanctuary staff - ostensibly in an attempt to stop a chimp from throwing a rock at a group of visitors he was giving a lecture to.

If that's indeed the case, it was a very poor judgement on his part - he could just as well have warned the visitors to back away to a safe distance. He not only put his own life and well-being at risk, but that of the sanctuary staff as well when they had to rush in to rescue him.

Perhaps it's a case of the old saying "familiarity breeds contempt" - in the case of both the gent and the chimps - with deadly consequences.

One of the staff said that one of the chimps kept charging at him even after firing three warning shots in front of the animal. I didn't manage to catch what he said the final outcome was - other than the staffer appeared to be unharmed.
