chimp attack

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of it there was a women in CT that was brutally attacked by a pet chimp she had been in a hospital in CT but was just transeferred yesterday to Cleavland to have a face transplant. I feel horriable for the chimps owner she had him since she lost her husband and the chimp had been like her child but who would keep a chimp in a residental area it just freaks me out

 

The chimp was not normal, though. The woman had been feeding it starbucks and on the day it attacked the lady, the owner had given it some anti-depression medication. No idea why o.0

 

really? who feeds a chimp starbucks? and honestly any pet can attack at any given moment... i'm not surprised xD

 

I dont know why people have pets like these. they are wild animals, they are not meant to be a pet.

 

To play the devil's advocate, all pets were originally wild animals. We domesticated them, so we could domesticate monkeys until they became a "common house pet", but it would be ridiculously expensive.

But I completely agree, stupid idea. Monkeys are cute though, I'd probably keep one as a pet, wouldn't be the first stupid thing I've done while knowing it was stupid...
giving it star bucks and anti-depressants is just effed up though, shes lucky she didn't kill it

 

Yeah i agree they are domesticated pets could be considered wild but the fact they are domesticated makes it okay to have them in the house. The only way i would see having a monkey as a pet if the whole population of mokey's were domesticated but i don't think that were to happen.

 

I got chase by a group of monkeys before.
I was hanging out with my friends at some park, and the monkeys came down from a tree and chase me and my friends.
One of my friends wetted his pants.

 

Haven't youu heard monkeys are the neww lionn! :lol:

WoW now i'm scaredd of monkeyys attacking me!
Thanx for helping my nightmares grow (sarcasim i live for it :maha: )

 

From what I've lernt Chimps wont attack you if you give it pot

 

I dont get it, why is this incident so big..
=/ its unusual yea, but hardly this newsworthy.

I think it strikes a chord within man's fear of the wild =p
of being alone to the whim of nature.
In our civilised and tame world this 'attacks' remind us that we once were stepping toe to toe with tigers and chimps..

haha interesting

 

I was just schocked when i heard it but like people have said household pets can turn on you. but i dident hear about the starbucks and antidepressents. the monkey was 200 lbs who would it wore a diaper i just dont get it

 

Lol, youtube video about this:

Ok, first off... Who gets a CHIMP? I can understand a dog or a cat or a bird or something.. But a chimp?
Oh, and the 911 call to this was soo odd...

 

Why would the monkey need anti depressants and coffee? Ive seen a monkey smoking a cigarette at the zoo once ;<

 

Are you kidding wow where is this world going too lol the craziest thing ive seen is a alligator running around in a circle lol i guess im not too exciting

 

lol an alligator running in circles? heres an rabid baby deer trying to attack the camera man, it was funny how all the people that posted comments saying he should of helped it.

there are certain animals that just shouldn't be pets.

a chimp is one of those animals

 

thats sad for the chimp and for the woman, im surprised no one steped in and said she wasnt alowed to keep the chimp
