I don't want to start a big ole' argument, but that is not so with the baboons and macaques. She got bit for a reason. Probably because she was a female trying to do dominant things to a male. The males are difficult. I try to avoid them. They can never stop trying to reach the top of the hierarchy. You only have to fight the females once, and from then on you're the boss. Women always have trouble trying to work them no matter what the situation. I only know of one exception to this and she still had problems, but was able to manage them with the help of her nasty German Shepard. She maintained a tentative balance and pitted certain males against certain other males and got away with it. She was an incredible baboon trainer. To this day, I am in awe of her.
New World monkeys suddenly turn on you for no reason. Old World monkeys can be aggressive too, but only IF you give them a reason. Totally different story. Female Old World monkeys, like my beloved baboons, will not ever turn this way on a male handler/trainer, once dominance is established, which is usually in the first couple of weeks. If you are a woman messin' with baboons, you take your life in your hands. Not my rules. Theirs.
