Re: When good chimps turn bad

Just saw an update on this and they said the lady that was attacked was a longtime friend and very familiar with the chimp. They are speculating that the woman had just returned from having her hair cut very short and that her drastic change in physical appearance may have set the chimp off.

Sad situation all in all. I have a good friend who is a veterinarian. He has always said we need to remember that animals can have mental issues or experience changes in physical or mental health just like humans and you never know when they can go off the deep end. Chimps are exceptionally strong anyway, and you take a 200lb one and he would have super-human strength.
