Chimpanzee Mauls Owner
February 17, 2009
A Connecticut chimp has been shot dead after seriously wounding his owner. There was no apparent provocation for his attack. I don’t want to sound callous, but this just underscores the fact that chimpanzees should not be pets. I understand that he was already domesticated, but I’m sure that plenty of qualified zoos would have been happy to take him. This tragedy was 100% preventable.
