Leaving a burning building is NOT surrender, it is just plain common sense. But war lovers see leaving a disaster as surrendering to the enemy, or defeat, like in a football game. In this case, ILLEGAL chimps were used in the demonstrations.





In San Francisco, Jake the chimpanzee waved a white flag bearing the phrase, "Surrender is not an option." April wore what appeared to be a beret and held aloft a white flag.

The problem was that both animals -- on hire from a Kern County company that provides animals for movies, television programs and commercials -- were not permitted to be in the city, Brown said.

San Francisco's health code prohibits anyone from possessing or having under their control without a permit a "wild and potentially dangerous animal," including "the chimpanzee, the baboon, the orangutan, the gibbon, and the gorilla, excepting the Family Hominidae (man)."

An animal control officer responded to the protest after being called about the animals' involvement, Brown said.

1. Chimps can be trained to do anything, even to be president.
