I remember reading about this at the time of the incident. Last year I think.

Nasty big chimp. I would never entertain keeping such a creature.

They tear monkeys apart for food and fun in the wild for Christs sake.

A lot of people dont realise that though do they? they see the cute cuddly friendly chimp on tv and say "aww I want one"

Indeed.

Funnily enough I was told about this last night and have read several stories about it since. was upsetting and totally agree, you shouldnt even entetain the idea of keeping them as a pet, I think she did well to last 14 years without much aggressive behaviour.

Sorry but good.If what happened to her stops anyone wanting a Chimp as a pet then that's a good thing.

Baby chmip's will ALWAYS grow.So if anyone think they can control a pioff teenager with way more strength that a human.Then more fool them.

Many years ago I worked in a Safari Park and they used to hold chimps Tea parties with 2 young chimps in a viewing cage in pets corner. I along with another girl were given the duty of holding these parties with the 2 small chimps. They were so strong and could pick me up and throw me. I ended up being bitten on the arm twice which scared me so much I left.
Chimps are wild animals and should never be kept as pets or made to do stupid things like tea parties
