Video is pretty scary

Who would keep one of these now as a pet?

Luckily no one got attacked or lost face.

That's an animal which needs to be removed from its owner - which is also to say, it's the owner's fault for keeping a dangerous animal.

I think it scared the eyebrows right off of Tanya's face

And in a van? (down by the river...)

No wonder Sue's on a rampage

"My name is SUE! How do you do?"

Ha haaa haaaa

Must have gone ape about something. Someone crashed her primate party and then Sue just went for bananas.

The question I have why the hell would you keep a 330 pound chimp around any way it not like its going to sit on your lap while you pet it in front of the TV keeping you company.

The owner should have been taken away in chains.

Those people could easily have been killed or seriously injured, and the news ~~anchors~~ morons are acting like it was just a lark.

The dreamland most of them inhabit is rarely interrupted with reality. Do you really think that a thoughtful person could peddle the BS they do day in and day out with a straight face?

So true, Animal planet has a new series called Deadly Animal Obsessions- its about these people who own lions, tigers, chimps, bears etc & die by them. They all seem to have a similar pattern, starting with fascination, ownership then they turn the pet into a child of theirs, that they claim to have a unique bond with.
The talked about how so many people are allowed to own Tigers as pets & how most of them become unruly & have to be euthanized.

The owners should be euthanized. Hell, I stay away from my housecat when she's pissed off so I don't understand why the hell someone would want to have a tiger in the house or a monkey or whatever. People think chimps are cute but they are dangerous and strong as hell. Wasn't it last year when that chimp ripped that woman's face and both hands off?

The sad thing is that when someone's exotic pet does something which WE ALL KNOW IT WILL DO, it's euthanized because it's a danger to the public. Well, it shouldn't have been with the public in the first place.

Sorry, this is a "pet" peeve of mine.

Whats even worse is when an animal is euthenized at a zoo when some idiot climbs into the enclosure & gets attacked.

I'm still looking for one of those, housetrained and good with small children.

Any offers?

Good thing this was not a male chimp. I doubt they would of had the same outcome.
