Warning: This Is A Non-Divisive Thread

[ProudLib72]

That is all.

1. Why are those chimps on leashes? That's animal cruelty.

[ProudLib72]

2. Those chimps could run out into the street if they were not on leashes

But notice they are long leashes.

[LanternWaste]

53. Same applies to children.

Same applies to children.

[ProudLib72]

54. I really have no idea the context of the gif.

I didn't like the leashes either, but the hug was the best one I found.

[lunatica]

5. It might be the law to have all animals on leashes

You don’t know if that’s not the case. Leashes are used to protest animals too.

[treestar]

8. OMG. First post in response

and found a way to create a controversy!

[meadowlander]

36. We try

[ProudLib72]

3. The thing about divisiveness is you think you look cool doing it. Then this happens

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. He deserved every one of those teeth marks...

you dont fark around with sharks.

[lunatica]

4. I want to hug those chimps! ❣️💓💖💕❣️

[ProudLib72]

6. IKR, those chimps are the best ever!

Just don't try to hug the shark!

[treestar]

7. Awwwww!

[pnwmom]

9. It kind of makes me sad for them, though.

If they've been living apart, as an only chimp . . . it must be lonely.

This is why I'm a firm believer in having two dogs now. In retrospect, I feel bad for our first, during his years as an "only dog".

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, ProudLib

[ProudLib72]

14. You're welcome Uncle Joe!

15. Interesting. In the last few days there have been a spate of OPs about various forms of racism...

....many of which have been called "divisive".

So you create an OP using an animated GIF of two chimps?

Hmmm......

[ProudLib72]

16. And dogs and a shark

I call it "interspecies getting along":

[George II]

19. Not in the OP.

[sheshe2]

21. No.

Sorry. This OP is about chimps. The other OPs were about African Americans. They are often times called monkeys. The OP just may not have a clue, yet insensitive at best.

[ProudLib72]

23. Thanks for showing your true colors sheshe

I post a lovely gif of animals hugging each other, and you fill in context based on YOUR hang ups. You have just show your bias.

[disillusioned73]

47. I've been confused here on DU lately..

it's the only place I have seen this "whypipo" meme thing.. strange

I must follow the correct ppl on twitter..

Thanks for the animal gifs.. love the dog/bunny one

[sheshe2]

17. I saw that too.

Hmmm....

[mr_lebowski]

38. Kinda seems like 'imagined' was a more operative word than 'saw' ... from where I sit (nt) ...

[sheshe2]

18. After scrolling the thread.

Many monkeys here.

Subtle. Not.

[ProudLib72]

[mr_lebowski]

39. That's some friggin' weak sauce right there ... (nt)

[Inkfreak]

42. booooooo...

boooooo...

[Bucky]

44. it's brilliant!

Who doesn't love a baby chimp? They're adorable!!

[Lordquinton]

24. Some people seem to only be around to be devisive

[ProudLib72]

25. It sure seems that way.

Here are some dogs for your kind post...

[appalachiablue]

30. Love all these, adorable. Man's best friends here!

[ProudLib72]

32. I just wish my border collie/blue heeler mix would behave as nicely

He is super high strung, and he likes to nip people. (The dog in my sig line looks like the real Wally, but the real Wally doesn't like to have his picture taken )

[appalachiablue]

34. Know they're the Best- No Bad Doggies!

My cocker would try to nip rarely and when older especially if you woke her up. A real sweetheart I had 16 years.

[Lordquinton]

37. Awh, friendly dogs

so cute!

[Exotica]

41. yep

[Lordquinton]

51. Just have to make up for it!

[George II]

55. You are correct.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

56. I hope I have better things to do when I am in the twilight of my life.

[Lordquinton]

58. Same

As much as I enjoy hanging around message boards bothering people...

[sharedvalues]

26. Nice 👍

A little love goes a long way

[ProudLib72]

28. Thank you.

Here is another...

[RockRaven]

27. Gimme a follow-up gif... I wanna know

how long they hug it out for?

[ProudLib72]

29. Hugs last a few seconds

Gifs last forever (not technically, but ya know...)

I sooooo like this one. I kind of worry the dog is doing damage to its back, though. He's really into it.

[Heartstrings]

31. Nice upbeat thread!

[ProudLib72]

33. Thank you

This one is for you. It's really good. Watch the dog's tail (he loves the cat hug).

[Heartstrings]

35. Awwww.....

So sweet ProudLib! Thank you!

[mr_lebowski]

40. Yeah, you'd THINK so, wouldn't you ...

But looking upthread ...

Is it really this f***ing easy?

If so, we're doomed.

[ProudLib72]

43. Ignore that

Skip over it and concentrate on the animals.

[Bucky]

45. this one always gets me

right in the ol' pumper

[ProudLib72]

46. I'm more of a dog person than a cat person, but this can be a compromise

[disillusioned73]

48. This thread proves once & for all..

some ppl can get offended by anything..

[EffieBlack]

49. You're just now figuring that out?

[disillusioned73]

50. I said "once & for all"..

i thought there was hope at one point..

[ProudLib72]

52. I tried looking for a gif of porcupines hugging

I really did.

[progressoid]

57. That always ends badly...

[Stallion]

59. Naked Chimps Hugging on City Street-and your OK with that?

[sheshe2]
