Rampaging chimpanzees

People think of chimpanzees as cute monkeys that hang out with Tarzan and eat bananas. In fact, they are highly aggressive and intelligent warrior apes four times as strong as humans - not quite Planet of the Apes material, but closer to that stereotype than the other.

Why people pursue the idea of using these sentient (but dangerous) beings as pets, circus animals, and TV stars is beyond me.
