Shocking sad story about monkeys...

Oct 16, 2005 16:13

Scientists carried out this rather cruel experiment on monkeys to find out how advanced their levels of compassion towards their fellow beings were (like they hadn;'t worked it out through simple observation!).
Monkeys were kept in a cage, with food in a device which would give a fellow monkey a painful shock if opened... now the monkeys worked this out fairly quickly being intelligent animals and 87% of them starved themselves for up to a fortnight... their compassion for their fellow beings was that strong.
I think many humans could learn a few lessons from the monkeys.
