Ep. 176: Moe the Chimp

If you didn't have a healthy fear of chimpanzees before, you will after this episode. This week, after trying and failing to find a "lighter" topic, Hannah tells Katy the story of Moe: the chimp whose was raised by humans from birth, and who witnessed one of the worst chimp attacks on a human in history. The girls talk all things chimpanzees, and get into their opinions on the ethics of keeping them as pets, and of course, why you should maintain a very cautious respect for our primate cousins.

So pour your drinks, ready your next emotional support podcast, and join us for this morbid tale.
