Horrible for the victim. People will just never learn that animals are wild things and will always be unpredictable. Chimpanzees are approximately 3 times stronger than a fully grown male human. Is there anyone here who'd care to tangle with something that can rip your face off in seconds flat? Ditto bears, lions, tigers oh my.
There must be some hair-raising stories about Cheeta in the Weismuller TRAZAN films. I think they're amazing animals, but wouldn't want to be working around one on a film set!
