Chimps are brutal, dangerous animals. They are also ridiculously strong. I will never go near one that isn't locked in a cage. This sh#t is disturbing.

Yea, a woman brought one to my dads office when I was young. I even got some pictures taken with it. A couple years later the damn thing ripped off one of her arms when it got pissed. Some animals need to be left in the wild.

Jesus... A CHIMP did THAT?

Ripped off her jaw... her nose... and both of her hands.


edit: And killed her best friend too.



You don't want to F*ck with a chimp.

Pittsburgh gets home field advantage too.

Chimps are insane. I've read they're one of the few animals that kills for pleasure.

As St. James confronted the chimp, the six-two former running back turned to find a second chimp — also a male, this one older and bigger — bearing down on him as well. With both hands, he pushed the bigger animal. Both chimps pounced. One of the animals grabbed him in a bear hug before chomping into the bone above his right eyebrow. He then stuck his finger in St. James's right eye, gouging it out. The same animal clamped his teeth onto St. James's nose, biting it off, as the other chimp chewed away at St. James's fingers. In the melee, one of the chimps dug in his claws and ripped the skin off the right side of St. James's face, causing it to flop over and cover his left eye, temporarily blinding him. One of the primates sunk his teeth into St. James's skull. He then closed his jaws on St. James's mouth, ripping off his lips and most of his teeth. St. James tried to put one of his hands down the animal's throat, but the chimp just kept chewing on it and chewing on it, and he couldn't get it out.

St. James fell to the ground, no longer able to defend himself, and for at least five minutes, the mauling continued as he lay helpless. One of the chimps gnawed on his buttocks and bit off his genitals. They ravaged his left foot, leaving it shredded. Blood poured from his body, and LaDonna was screaming. It looked as if they were eating him alive.

Can I get the background story? What happened? Did she go to a zoo and get attacked?

Her friend had a pet chimp that was basically like a son to the woman. She had it for many years without a single incident of aggression. Nash (the woman who was attacked) was also very close to the chimp. In fact, on the morning in which she was attacked, I believe she was bringing the chimp a new toy.

I've heard reports that Nash had a new haircut which may have thrown the chimp off and given the appearance of being someone else that he didn't know. The truth is, we will never know for sure what set off the attack.

At the end of the day, chimps should not be held as pets. The cops ended up shooting and killing the animal on arrival, because they couldn't get it to stop and I think it actually went after them in a blind rage. As brutal as the attack was, I can't help but to feel sympathy for the animal. It was just doing what came natural for a wild animal. I've read that, after it was shot several times, it ran into the house and onto a jungle gym that the owner had set up and where it felt most comfortable. They found it dead, hanging from the top.

It had to be like, "WTF is going on..."

Just a tragedy on all sides.... And there is a lesson to be learned, here. Wild animals need to stay in the wild.

Chances that Gundress is going to take this thread and use it on another forum? I'm saying 90-percent chance...
