A Planet of the Apes?

  • "An Orangutan from a zoo was reintroduced to the wild in Borneo and began spear fishing after watching local fisherman..."  This tale bodes the obvious question: If the fisherman was using the spear to murder another fisherman, would the Orangutan also mimic this act?  Well, from what I've read, killing among the great apes seems to be for cause, murder not being one of them.  Having said this, the Orangutan seems to have recently garnered legal rights which, unfortunately, seem to rank them closer to us than they would, perhaps, approve.
