HARTFORD, Conn. – A 200-pound pet chimpanzee once seen in TV commercials mauled a woman visiting its owner Monday and cornered a police officer in his cruiser before he shot and killed it, authorities said.
Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin said the injured woman was hospitalized late Monday in "very serious" condition at Stamford Hospital; her identity was not immediately released. Conklin said she suffered "a tremendous loss of blood" from serious facial injuries.
The 15-year-old chimpanzee's owner and two officers also were hurt, though police said the extent of their injuries was not immediately known.
Police said they had no idea why the chimpanzee, named Travis, attacked the woman as she got out of her car to visit the animal's owner, Sandra Herold. Conklin said Herold wrestled with the animal, then ran inside to call 911.
Stories like this really irk me. The police don't have any idea why "Travis" the chimp attacked the woman? Are they fucking kidding? It's a wild animal, not a little hairy person!
If you read down through the article, you see little moronic quotes like this:
quote:
He's been raised almost like a child by this family," Conklin said Monday. "He rides in a car every day, he opens doors, he's a very unique animal in that aspect. We have no indication of what provoked this behavior at all."
No indication of what provoked this behavior, huh? Again, it's a wild animal. It's not a "child" or a family member.
And this bit of information about the brainiac bitch that kept a wild animal in her home:
quote:
police said the Herolds told them the chimpanzee was toilet trained, dressed himself, took his own bath, ate at the table and drank wine from a stemmed glass. He also brushed his teeth using a Water Pik, logged onto the computer to look at pictures, and watched television using the remote control, police said.
Gee, why didn't they teach him to wear a little propeller beanie and ride a unicycle playing a kazoo? I'm not an animal rights nut, but fucktards like this really piss me off. You hear stories about this kind of thing happening all the time, but people still insist on trying to keep wild animals as pets. The people keeping this chimpanzee and any person keeping animals like this are selfish, foolish douchebags who shouldn't even be allowed to keep a hamster.
