A 200 lbs chimp acting somewhat like a human, and most people would think that is kind of cute, but if a 200 lbs human acts remotely like a chimp, he would definitely be considered dangerous. As for me, I wouldn't risk my life with any living thing that size and weight. I am sorry to say that unfortunate lady in the hospital has partial herself to blame.

If he wasn't a celebrity before, he's definately one now. Funny how celebrities seem to be able to get out of most things we, who aren't, can,t. If he was just someone,s pet, would they have taken him anyway?

The owner of the chimp was warned by the animal control officer in that city about two years prior to this incident. She was told that the chimp was becoming dangerous and that she should get rid of it. I think at this point everyone is looking for every reason possible to blame anyone but the owner. If our dogs attack someone we are liable so why isn't this owner liable? If you have a dangerous dog and someone comes into your home and the dog maims the person, the person is not held liable, the owner is. This is no different.

While stationed in the Phillipines 4 Marines confronted a monkey in the road. They threw rocks at it till it left. 2 minutes later it returned with 20 rock throwing moneys on the offensive attack. If it wasn't for a passing vehicle there would be dead or badly hurt Marines. This story is true.

The owner said if she had to do it all over again she WOULD!!!!Her friend lost both hands, lips, nose, eyelids and part of her brain.So according to the owner her love for the chimp was more important than the life of her friend.....Amazing.....

First of all, I am an animal lover as evidenced by my horse, dog, cats, and chickens. Secondly, I understand the potential damage any animal, no matter how small, is capable of. Although many domesticated animals pose no obvious threat to humans, we can only be very aware of their potential to do damage. Even a gerbil or pet cat can cause bodily harm. Pet owners must be ever vigilant for signs of discontent, and body language signalling an oncoming problem. When it comes to an animal that one can't overpower, we need to step back and say "Hey, is this right?" Travis was in an invironment where he didn't belong. Certainly the owner of the chimp knew that she could not control him, so ultimately she is to blame. Even poor Ms. Nash bares some responsibility, as she went there voluntarily. With her background, she knew of the danger. In the end, Travis and Ms Nash paid the price. We live in a no-fault society today, where the masses want to point fingers at law makers. Bottom li...
