Helpful armchair editor here:

Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but I would have thought you'd have had a bigger problem with the fact that they basically hunt the babies, or that they seem to indulge hunting "binges" that coincide with female estrus. If one were inclined to draw inferences to human behavior, those would be the ones to…

That's because you're evaluating the behavior through the distorted filter that is anthropomorphic attribution, which is exactly my point. Once you rid yourself of the "Oh my god, that's a miniature human!" trope, chimp behavior is neither surprising, nor particularly unusual. Is it brutal? Sure, but so is any other…

Your description is the very definition of anthropomorphism - the attribution of human traits or behaviors to non human animals. My point is that I expected a bit more detachment from him given his history filming nature documentaries.

I'm quite surprised to read that Attenborough is this susceptible to anthromorphic behavior. Chimp predation behavior is no more or less upsetting than any other animal predation behavior once one sets aside primate-centric preconceptions.

I think you wanted to reply to the article author. I am essentially championing the same point.

Maybe I'm just overly fastidious, but I really don't want someone else's body fluids all over the gurney I'm lying on... Do your business in the firehouse please.

Yep. I might have gone with this one instead:

Touche'!

Now I can't get it out of my head, thanks.

10) He may have castrated his reindeer.

Amen. I still fire up SunDog:Frozen Legacy and DungeonMaster every now and then!

I must be that other old guy then. I actually cut my teeth on the Atari ST 520/1040. I even helped form a company that made the first HD floppy drive for them.

Nailed it in one Charlie.

As a living relic of the 60s, I can confidently state that this list omits a very popular Christmas offering, to wit:

Good point, however the grain mentioned in the article was sorghum. Sorghum is essentially gluten free in its native form.
