It is not there because nobody wrote anything about it at Wikipedia. Wikipedia text is written by random volunteers from around the world (exactly like you!) and anything which is not at Wikipedia, but belongs, is invited. If you do some research outside of Wikipedia, and find enough information to create an article, please do so! We welcome your help! --Jayron 32 11:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where is this from? (laughing chimp with large handgun)

(Chimp holding a smoking gun almost the size of it's torso and laughing) Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:34, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I added to the title to make it more useful. StuRat (talk) 21:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC) [reply]

It's Mr. Stubbs from Toby Tyler. Here he is turning the gun on himself. It was a simpler time. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:35, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb has nothing at all on who played the chimp, but MousePlanet says he was kidnapped from the Belgian Congo in 1956, bought for $1,000 in 1957 and appeared on The Jack Benny Program in 1959. Then he lived happily ever after on a Las Vegas ranch. Maybe still does. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:50, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Chimps can live to be 70 or more, so it is possible. StuRat (talk) 22:59, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kokomo Jr. worked on network TV over four decades before dying in his fifties. He has all of two IMDb credits to show for it. ~~No respect~~ Much respect from Wikipedia. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:42, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If Kokomo Jr. were still alive, or if one were to write an article on a similar non-human but living actor, would BLP considerations apply? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.0.129.189 (talk) 04:20, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing there specifying that only humans are considered persons in this context, whereas the article Person itself discusses the argued personhood of non-humans at some length and links to other pertinent articles touching on the subject. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.0.129.189 (talk) 14:27, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to defame, libel or slander a non-human? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:59, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A few of the hardy among us pick the career of being sexomasochistically tortured in hexadecuple HD so it only seems possible to libel 99.X% of humans (in reality, in the law this may not be true) Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 22:20, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just possible, but relatively easy, since non-humans can't sue you for it. A dog may not be aware you're hurting his adoption chances by spreading "bad dog" stories, but those hurt nonetheless. More common to see entire genuses slandered, though individual rats, snakes and wolves still have to deal with the "carries plague"/"constantly lies"/"murders children" allegations in their daily interactions with humans. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:57, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the case of (say) a chimpanzee or dog who is effectively a professional actor, their career might be harmed by false allegations, and the resultant loss of income might adversely affect their quality of future care, through adversely affecting the incomes of those such as owners and agents who benefit from that career (and who might also have legal recourse on their own behalf). {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.0.129.189 (talk) 09:14, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some people say that animals can acquire copyright. This is unfortunate for one photographer, who has been almost bankrupted by fighting lawsuits claiming that the copyright of a selfie taken by a monkey using his camera belongs to the monkey. 82.14.24.95 (talk) 15:06, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
