Chimp goes apeshit, rips off a woman's face.

A pet chimpanzee - who had appeared in TV commercials and shows - got loose at a home at 241 Rock Rimmon Road in Stamford Monday afternoon, according to Stamford police. And it was not his first time.

The 175-pound animal attacked its owner's friend, leaving the victim with severe facial injuries. She was taken to Stamford Hospital. Police do not expect the person to live. The friend, believed to be a 50-year-old woman, opened the car door and was promptly attacked.

The Stamford Advocate reports the primate's owner called 911 and then tried to stop the attack by stabbing the chimp with a butcher knife.

An officer shot and killed the animal when it tried to get into his police cruiser, said police.

The animal was reportedly named Travis and had issues in the past.

On October 19, 2003, Travis escaped from his owner's SUV and went running through the streets. More than a dozen police officers chased around after him at the time.

In a newspaper article at the time, police said the chimp, then 10, was toilet trained. He reportedly dressed himself, ate at the table and drank wine. He could use a computer and remote control.

He starred in Old Navy and Coca-Cola commercials and even appeared on the Maury Povich Show, according to an article in the Stamford Advocate

Why would you ever keep such a dangerous, powerful, and intelligent animal as a pet? It's like they took crazy cat lady to its most horrifying extreme.

[dark messiah verdandi]

well, there goes the funding for the chimpanzee sanctuary...

man. If someone could implant their brain into a chimpanzee body without rejection. they would be so fucking strong. cheaper super-soldiers= less taxes :nod

[Mider T]

Am I the only one who lol'd at the title?:lmao

[SharinganSasori]

He was on the Maury show to see if he was really the father:zaru

Shit man, an animal that can take care of itself and use technology? Who wouldn't want that?
I hate chimps though.
lol at trying to stab a chimp with a butcher knife.
I really hope that lady turns out ok....

[Raiden]

Seems like the business world just lost a key animal player, but hey, what is done is done. Knowing the animals past, more should have been done to ensure that there would be been public safety as well as the security of a key investment...cold as that might seem. Essentially, that's what Travis was.

Am I the only one who lol'd at the title?:lmao

Not really. I lol'd at the info in the link reporting that Hitler farted regulary.

This is what happens when you ignore your chimp's alcoholism. Show business is rough for apes, too.

[Emigan]

Never have like chimps..or other primates for that matter.
As said before, who would keep that animal if it did have past problems? They were asking for it. Still have my sympathy though.

[HinataSanctuary]

Well, I admit that I hope the woman is okay and all but... it can use a computer, dress itself, work a remote and all that... they shouldn't have killed it, maybe just let it roam free behind the glass in the Ape exhibit at the zoo.

[Mider T]

I don't know what you're talking about but "chimp goes apeshit" made jizz in my pants spit out my water.

I was about to point that out too after a second read:sag

You don't like you?

That was my intention.

[Koi]

This isn't the first time this has happened. :\ A few years ago a chimp ripped off a guy's face at one of those sanctuaries. Apparently it literally took his nose clean off.

They also ripped his balls off.

[Nizuma Eiji]

^Bad........Ass.

I feel sorry for lady of course, but you gotta lol at the fact of this even happening. Sorry to hear the chimp is dead though, wasn't no need for that.

[Mider T]

This reminds me of when I was kid at the Rock of Gibraltar. We were riding up the mountain in a bus and stopped because some monkeys were in the middle of the road. They told us we could get out to take pictures but to leave our food on board. Well, some teenager brought out a banana and started waving it in front of the monkey's face so the monkey jumped on top of his shoulders and knocked him down. He stole the banana and ran to the edge of the rock where he glared at the teen then turned around to eat it. I remember the teen shouting "He farted in my face!" not worried about the banana or the ass whooping at all:sag

They also ripped his balls off.

What do you, keep track of monkey business or something?:lmao

[avraell]

hahaha, fucking cops, "gtfo mah cruisa, you fucking porch monkey!" - how often does the opportunity to say what they really want to without getting sued come up?

[ButtholeSurfer]

What do you, keep track of monkey business or something?:lmao

You and your monkeyshines.

Also a good subtitle for this thread would be Dunstan Checks out.

[Gamma Akutabi]

They also ripped his balls off.

On the other hand, he can go to the doctors for a sex change and tell them half the work was already done.:zaru

[Hand Banana]

LMAO that was awesome.

[Chu-kun♥]

Pet.

That's the magic word.

Tv commericals and shows..
Magic phrase.

[Hisagi]

kthnx

lol

[Jin-E]

Looks like she had the appearance of an Banana in Pyjamas since it evidently tried to peel her face off:(

And Wine drinker to boot?

Thats an recipe for distaster

[Mider T]

It was just on Headline News, apparently he liked to watch the New York Jets too.

He deserved to die.

[Ramona Flowers]

The resemblance to humans comes ever closer...

[Mider T]

^He took a lesson from Chris Brown, monkey see monkey do.

Why is this all over the News, Access Hollywood, and Entertainment Tonight though?

[Stroev]

Sweet.

Oh, and condolences for the woman.

[Mullet_Power]

Sweet.

Oh, and condolences for the chimp.

Fixed.:wink

[Fenris]

Rarely have I seen a better use of apeshit as a dysphemism. Also lol'ed at porchmonkey post.

[NanoHaxial]

From what I've read, this chimp was very well behaved and liked. Even in the previous chase, one of the officers described it more as the monkey having some fun and mischief than something more sinister.

However, the owner claims that the chimp had Lyme disease, which is why it went off on this woman. He couldn't calm it down, even after using Xanax, and called her over to help him. The man that owns him is 78 iirc.

[fantzipants]

When will people learn to leave animals alone. come on people you don't see indians here keeping bears as pets. They know better to leave animals alone.

[blackminx]

... Exactly why wild animals shouldnt' be kept as pets XD

Well I guess that chimp was domesticated (somewhat)... But they are too smart to be completely trainable and really shouldnt' be kept as though it were a dog or cat.

[ButtholeSurfer]

Fixed.:wink

Yes that poor face ripping chimp.

[Jetstorm]

I always knew you can't trust those damn chimps! :yell

Hopefully that women can make it out alright.

[Cardboard Tube Knight]

This thread title is totally awesome, kind of sad for the woman, but this is why monkey's aren't good pets.

[Nizuma Eiji]

hahaha, fucking cops, "gtfo mah cruisa, you fucking porch monkey!" - how often does the opportunity to say what they really want to without getting sued come up?

Lulz. Would've been the perfect moment for a "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU DAMN DIRTY APE"!!!!!!!

[Shibo Hebihime Uirusu]

Oh, well...that's what you get for not feeding it at the right time:zaru

[ZigZag]

I see the chimp was trying to make a get away.

[Tsikari]

Sounds more like a psychotic human in a chimp's suit.

[Sayuri]

Reminds me of celebrities like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, having suddenly snapped. :sag

[Utopia Realm]

I lol'd at the title.:lmao Seriously, that's a very bad way to lose face.

Okay, I'm sorry.:( I won't joke anymore. Sad story:cry

[tyler]

Ewwww :D:

Poor lady, I would have beat that Chimps ass if it grabbed my face. Im anti animal cruelty but I gotta defend myself.

[HeiPoxia]

Some people see chimps and think, 'aw, they kind of looks like people!' and they forget that they have the power, and often the intent, to go 'apeshit' on people. I mean, they are wild animals. You can stab them with a butcher knife, but the damage is already done. My sympathies to the woman who's face was attacked...

[Cirus]

If a person owns animals like that then they need to have tighter controls. Sad to hear though that a person might die because of it.

[Klue]

Wildest thing I have ever heard. Is she gonna live? :uwah

[Kyasurin Yakuto]

Geez, that's disturbing.

I've always known that chimps can be very agressive and powerful so I would never want to be around them.

I mean and it says that chimp is 175 pounds. That's a lot more than what I weigh. I'm only 100-105 pounds. That thing could totally own me. :S

[Yami Munesanzun]

one of the words that'll never make sense to me: "apeshit"

what the hell does that mean???!! :argh

on topic:

the women is secretly a banana in disguise!

sssshhh!! don't tell noone! :ninja

[Kameil]

:lmao Face peeled.

[Saiji]

Nash was transported to Stamford Hospital with life-threatening and "life-changing injuries," police said. Neighbors told Eyewitness News that the chimp bit the woman's hands off.

"He bit both of her hands off," said Herold's friend, Lynn Mecca. "The cop said he was eating … it’s terrible. I don’t want to talk about it."

“I would have never thought Travis was capable of doing this. I don't think anybody was," said Michael Grant, who’s known Herold for years. “Last time I saw Travis, he was in one of the upstairs windows giving monkey cries in the neighborhood. You'd think you were in Africa."

Police said Herold was also taken to the hospital with unknown injuries. The officer whom the chimp lunged at was transported to the hospital for shock and trauma treatment, police said. The officer has since been treated and released.

The woman that was attacked apparently lost both her hands by that chimp.

What do you expect? Chimps are our closest relatives :pek

Ewwww :D:

Yeah I bet you would.

Considering the average adult female chimp has four times the upper body strength of the average adult male.

I bet you'd beat its ass.

[Sesshomaru]

we are more intelligent, we would defeat it somehow. Perhaps run it over or smack it with a cricket bat.

[Aiolia]

Trained/domesticated or not, it's still an animal.

["LADY KISS"]

The Monkeys are truelly coming to get us! :uwah

[Danny Lilithborne]

they need to do way instain chimp> who kill their onwers because these onwers cant frigth back? it was on the news this mroing...

Not that much smarter.

There are no monkeys in this article. Only chimps and people.

a chimp in ct who had killed her onwers freind. they are taking the lady to the hsopital to rest my pary are with the onwer who lost her freind ; i am truley sorry for your lots.

[Seto Kaiba]

It's stupid to keep chimps as pets anyways. Especially once they leave infancy.

[Suigetsu]

why would they keep such a dangerous creature as a pet?
the owner of it must be punished.

poor lady, srsly. wath a mean moneky.

[Saufsoldat]

I must agree that chimps shouldn't be held as pets. It's like having a human as your pet. They're intelligent, dangerous and unpredictable.

[Sesshomaru]

Not that much smarter.

Maybe you, but not me :pek

[Saufsoldat]

Maybe you, but not me :pek

Here's a hint: The chimp grabbed the keys and unlocked the kitchen door.

This little bugger is living proof that chimps are very similar to humans.

[Quincy James]

Pretty goddamn funny to me :lmao
Plus the title helps.

[Starhunter]

No, it was bullets that killed the chimp.

[ButtholeSurfer]

Personally, I'd love to get a pet chimp and put him on lsd and let him loose to wreak havoc. I wouldn't be liable because I could say he got out himself.

[fantzipants]

i feel sorry for the chimp , really. It did nothing wrong other than acting like a chimp. Killing an animal in a situation like this is messed up. I know the woman got injured so it is justified but an animal should not be subjected to situations like this. Leave them in the wild where they are meant to be.

I told you guys Connecticut is fucking awesome.

We got face-ripping chimpanzees and shit. :gar

I suppose that somewhat makes up for being only a hundred or so miles away from New Jersey.

[fantzipants]

Yes that poor face ripping chimp.

For all you know that chimp thought he was fighting for his life. Like many have said animals don't kill just for the sake of killing nor do they hate only humans do. I'm not syaing i don't feel bad for the woman but dammit the chimp doesn't have a clue to what he is doing and belongs in the jungle. Like i always say leave the animals alone. They aren't hurting anyone unless they have human contact.

I will admit, the chimp isn't at fault for taking the drugs...but you have to realize that animals aren't allowed to attack humans and just not get off with that their animals thing. They get shot...that's just how it goes.

And its pretty obvious the chimp taking the drugs caused that...

[InfallibleImam]

The universe, in all it's awe and mystery, tends to punish irrationality in the most cruel but rational ways.

The lesson learned; Next time just buy a cat.... and make sure it's declawed.

[Sesshomaru]

Yes, they can also build sky scrapers, computers and talk to other chimps who are thousands of miles away. :sarc

An angry intelligent chimp maybe able to rip off a humans face. However, an angry intelligent human (with resources created by humans) can destroy a fucking country in a matter of days.

[TatsuBon]

Ouch !
I've seen a gorilla punch the glass cage until it cracked , but whoa .
Talk about rage

Declawing is one of the most inhumane things you can do to an animal like a cat. It can't even scratch itself.

[Diceman]

Yes,I'm sure some nobody from Congo can destroy a country when he's angry:notrust

[saprobe]

Declawing is one of the most inhumane things you can do to an animal like a cat. It can't even scratch itself.

I've never seen a cat scratch itself. They use their teeth when they're itchy. They do use their claws to climb stuff, though. It's pretty sad to watch a declawed cat trying to figure out that it no longer has any grip.

There's no need to have a cat declawed. You can just clip and/or file their claws regularly.

On topic: this woman should have never have been able to keep this chimp and she should not have treated it like a human.

[Sesshomaru]

Yes,I'm sure some nobody from Congo can destroy a country when he's angry:notrust

This statement is so fail, I have no idea where to begin. It would be extremely inaccurate to generalize the whole human species using a simple man from Congo.

Therefore if you have figured out or not (I actually do not care) that I was generalizing the human race relative to our achievements as a species, I wasn't handpicking people. :facepalm.

[escamoh]

the chimp tried to drive away rofl :lmao:rofl

[DeterminedIdiot]

the chimp went on insticts for some reason

[Rikudou]

Well, they ARE 4 times stronger than an adult male human afterall :edu
And can be VERY vicious and cruel.

[raininggemini]

It's like you had an evil genius as your pet.

Very dangerous :edu

[Lance Vance]

Wouldn't you go nuts if your whole life resulted in pricks gawking at you...

[Hikaru-Kaoru]

It reminds me of a Bokito(gorilla) who attacked a woman in 2007.

[lilmissf-ingsunshine]

That chimp acted on pure instinct. You take the chimp out the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out the chimp. Putting diapers on their asses, doesn't make them domesticated. Two hundred pounds of pure muscle...sheeeeit. They will go straight wild on yo' ass, if you don't watch it.

[Lucaniel]

..chimps can use computers?

Lmao they had 10 policemen chasing it around. I hope someone got a video of that.

[master bruce]

chimps are 4X stronger than people, but the type of muscles in their arms only work for pulling and they are very weak in pushing(triceps).

plus, they have slow myostatin muscle fibers that make it impossible for fast limb movement, that is why you never see chimps punching, humans can generate more tricep force and speed and can throw faster stronger punch than any chimp could even imagine.


A kyokushin karate black belt or average boxer would decimate any chimp in a real fight.


humans are capable of incredible shit with proper training. ppl dickride animals so much that they forget this, bc the average 90% of poppulation is weakling.



I'm not trying to sound like internet toughguy, I'm staing cannon fact.




rampage jackson would crush that chimp's skull with a few good punches.

as long as the chimp didn't grab his arm.


rememeber chimps strong at pulling, but weak at pushing and lack speed reflexes.



I challenge anyone who doesn't believe me to research everything I said.

[Mider T]

This is bananas. The program said the woman lost both of her hand and have to go through reconstructive surgery for her face. Chimp jaws are strong enough without teeth.

[Blueberryz]

lol at the title.
i hate chimps they always have that evil look in thier eyes

[@lk3mizt]

lol, isn't it this is the chimp that was the source of the racist cartoon? :lmao

[Lucaniel]

Yeah, I heard about that. I thought all the furore was silly and they're just playing the race card, since I've seen worse for white politicians for no-one whining. The chimp was just linking it to current events (imo, anyway) they'd probably have done it if it was a tiger or something, though admittedly it's more likely with a chimp. Not for racist reasons though. A human head just looks more convincing on a chimp.
