Didn't something similar happen in California a couple of years back? Something to do with a birthday cake in the park, the chimp went berserk ripped out the guy's tongue, fingers, nose and testicles off, blinded him in one eye! The entire time this was happening the man was trying to "reason" with the chimp, calm him down, use a soothing tone of voice! This is total insanity. Chimps and monkeys should be outlawed as pets in the United States. They're too dangerous to have hanging around the house, should never be allowed to be "on the loose" anywhere, anytime. Such a horrible tragedy. We,--humans, Americans --really ought to know better.
