    This News Story Is Nuts! (Yes It Involves Monkeys)

    http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/16/chi...ack/index.html

    good lord.

    Most nuts part of the article-

    "Stamford police shot the chimp multiple times when he ripped off a side mirror and tried to enter a police cruiser, Conklin said. Travis returned to the house and died inside"

    Some thoughts I had after reading this-

    1. How is it legal to own a chimp as a pet?
    2. How is it legal to own a chimp as a pet after he got loose in 2003 and terrorized the neighborhood (the exact reason why owning a chimp in most places IS illegal)
    3. Since when do chimp's weigh 200 pounds?
    4. I got sad when I read the owner was forced to stab it when it attacked her friend. Even if my dog attacked someone I knew, I don't think I would have the heart to hurt it with a knife.
    5. What kind of chimp can take multiple gun shots to the body and have the strength to run back in the house before dropping dead?

    This must have been some monkey.

      Sounds like the ending to the sequel to Congo.

          In 2005, a different chimp escaped from California's Animal Haven Ranch and chewed off a man's nose and genitals.

          Perhaps the strangest sentence I've ever read in my life...W.T.F.

          "Oh, my nose? Funny story, a chimp chewed it off my face along with my sack."

            Lol, they updated the article-

            "Herold had called Nash over to her house to help get Travis back inside after he used a key to free himself from the house."

            Jesus!

              In retrospect I feel bad for the thing. It is an obviously wild animal that has no business being a domestic pet (the thing weighed more than most humans). I blame the owner and I blame the police for not taking the monkey away from the woman and allowing it to be in its natural habitat after it escaped in 2003. If you put an intelligent, strong and wild animal in a random house in Connecticut, we shouldn't blame it for going crazy.

                These stories are always disheartening. A wild animal went wild. Never seen that one coming.

                Just like the idiots that got attacked for trying to go in the tiger's exhibit at a zoo.

                        This chimp is meaner than the one that Tim Roth played in Planet of the Apes. If only it were still alive I'm sure Tim Burton could have done something with that.

                          Been all over the news here in CT. Pretty damn crazy, I guess they think it was infected with Lyme's Disease.

                          I agree with the OP though, not sure how that thing weighed 200 lbs.

                            Insane. Every news story involving police makes me hate police officers even more. Not only do they ruin people's lives all day long, now they are shooting monkeys... They couldnt throw a net over it? Or taze it? or tranq it? They had to shoot it multiple times... Please. Were they afraid it would steal their car and go all GTA on the town? It sounds like the insane monkeys were the ones wearing uniforms that day.

                              The thing was stabbed with a butcher's knife and was unfazed, now it's breaking into your car to come eff you up next? Yeah, I'm shooting that thing without thinking twice.
