After Attack GRAPHIC IMAGE!
NEW HAVEN, Conn. A Connecticut woman who was attacked by a 200-pound chimpanzee says she repeatedly warned the animal's owner that the primate was dangerous and could hurt someone. In a telephone interview Wednesday with The Associated Press, Charla Nash said she saw the chimpanzee throw large objects around his cage, flash his teeth and pound the bars so violently his hands would bleed and the cage had to be rewelded.
Nash, who appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Wednesday, said she told the owner, Sandra Herold, eight or 10 times he was dangerous.

This girl was in high school and probably not even 18. She is blind and disfigured and will never have a normal life.
The last thing she needs is a lecture.

Same reason why people own tigers, and bears, because they think they can tame them, and treat them like cute fuzzy animals that are part of the family, until the animal terrorises the family or kills them...
Wild animals, are WILD ANIMALS, there is nothing cute and fuzzy about them, it's the natural of the beast.

there's also the thing about thinking that bad things won't happen to you.....
God bless this woman, and I hope medical science, before obamacare comes in, can help her in every possible way....

“Yes if your friend owns a large primate don’t go to their house.”
Or a non-domesticated species of cat.
Or a rescue pit bull or similar.
At least, not without a firearm of suitable caliber.

"...Oprah is a shameless whore who would do anything to boost her faltering ratings...."Oprah has proven time and tinme again that she is a scumbag doosh. Oh, and a big white people-hating racist, too.

I don’t mean this is a snarky, bad way, but I would think it’s a good thing at this point that she cannot see herself.

This girl was in high school and probably not even 18.Huh? Where did you get that idea? She's the *mother* of a high school senior. From the article:
Her daughter is a high school senior and Nash said she's sorry they can't spend more time together. She said she would like to have helped her daughter pick out a prom dress.
The woman who got mauled by the chimp is the mother, not the daughter.

I dont mean this is a snarky, bad way, but I would think its a good thing at this point that she cannot see herself.
I thought that too. If that were to have happened to me, the last thing I'd want to see is a mangled mass of flesh where my face used to be.
My heart goes out to that poor woman.

Sort of, but it seems to have been a very informal employment relationship. They had been friends for many years before there was any employment relationship, and Herold gave Nash a job as a dispatcher for her towing company, after Nash got laid off from a previous job, as a favor to a friend.

Why would anyone own a dangerous frigging monkey?
Many years ago I met a good looking chick who worked for a travel agency that handled the flight bookings for our plant executives and she would deliver the tickets to me in the HR dept.
I asked her out for lunch one day and during the course of conversation, she revealed she had a monkey for a pet.
That was the end of that courtship! I hate monkeys, monkeys are creepy and anyone who owns a monkey has to be equally creepy too.........I even cheered for the planes in the movie King Kong.
To: blackbart.223
YOU made the statement about OPRAH not being relevant.
Who pissed in YOUR wheaties??????????????
Are you an Oprah booster?
She is a media whore.

“wild” like many terms, is relative.
The ancestors of our dogs, cattle, pigs, and cats were “wild”.
