Hi Thomas, The key is that in Philip's game, the monkeys are not villains. They don't hurt you. But if he did have them attack you then I would agree that killing them is justified. They don't necessarily have to bite you, they could also be carrying something you need to survive. One other

Hi Phil, The chimpanzees work as you describe, e.g. they usually do not attack you for no reason, but they will sometimes defend themselves when threatened. The little monkeys are defenseless, which means that you do not need to interact with them. You can kill them but you don't have to,

I got the impression that if the animals were occupied with other things and not interested in you, you were in no danger. Attack them, and they retaliate. If you merely injure them, they would run away. --- Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to heart.
