Why do monkeys throw their poop at people?

Why do monkeys and apes throw their poop at people and other simians?

What are they trying to communicate by doing so?

Target practice for the eventual uprising, of course.

Because they were politicians in their previous incarnation. Habits die hard.

Monkeys in the wild rarely throw poop at people, they simply retreat to their high hides when people are in their territory.

In captivity (which means that the monkey who was trying to hide, did not understand that man can shoot it with a dart and capture it), monkeys have no high-hide and thus have to protect their territory (something they are taught by the dart and capture) and since they are in cages, which of course make them very happy being safe and exact duplicates of their native environment, they use the weapon at hand to defend their territory and that is thrown feces.

If you want to see the human equivalent, watch the movie, "The Green Mile," based on the Stephen King book of the same name. In it, the evil character, urinates on his Jailer and threatens to throw feces when feces becomes available.

I do not believe this post shall serve as my biology dissertation.

Because they don't have weapons.

I'll bet they keep score, too.

And the high score gets to fuck the cutest monkey.

Shit-slinging bastards.
