...she unwittingly placed herself in a very dangerous situation and was unprepared or unable to protect herself at a critical moment. This should be a lesson to us all.

2 words...

Obama. Voter.

[mplsconservative]

Oh man. Prayers for this lady.

[paul51]

if she knew (thought) the animal was dangerous, I wonder why she would be any where near it. Horrible situation. She was a good looking lady. Now she has some real challenges ahead. Can’t help but wonder how something like this can even occur.

WARNING: What has been seen cannot be unseen. That is the most disfigured face I’ve ever looked at.

She knew all this, and when the chimp’s owner called and asked her to come over to help get the chimp under control and into the house, she just hopped in the car and went on over?

Sorry, but either this lady is exaggerating what she’d previously seen the chimp do in order to promote her lawsuit, or she was 100% aware of the extreme danger of going over there when the owner said she couldn’t get him under ontrol, and assumed 100% of the risk. She did a very stupid thing and paid for it dearly. Her lawsuit should be tossed out of court.

This should be a lesson to us all.

Yes if your friend owns a large primate don't go to their house.

"What’s YOUR problem? It WAS related."

Who pissed in your "Wheaties" tonight? The person who owned the monkey is responsible. Bottom line.

Next time my neighbor calls and tells me to come on over to help control her chimp, I’m going to grab my AR-15.

Wait a minute. WHAT?

[GOP Poet]

wow. just devastating.

[sockmonkey]

if she knew (thought) the animal was dangerous, I wonder why she would be any where near it.

The woman was her boss. She said she had fed it twice when her boss was out of town. When her boss called her to help put it back in it's cage, she went.

I think the lady probably didn't say no because the Chimp owner was also her Boss.

[Drew68]

Americans will NEVER forget that the freak in the Oval Office is her man.

Good grief, what on earth does that have to do with anything?

Did Obama chew this woman's face off?

[paul51]

This is true of many “wild” animals. But putting all “exotic” pets in that category is unfair. Many of them make harmless, interesting and rewarding pets

They call them wild animals for a reason.

[Eagles6]

She knew the animal was dangerous. Why was she there? Damn, people can be so stupid!

[NRA2BFree]

I love Palin. But I think she is making a serious mistake. But, its still better than the View.

I love her too! I think she has grown so much since she ran with McCain. I blame him for a lot of the things that happened to Sarah.

Oprah and Sarah are going to discuss her new book. I think it's a smart way for her to get millions of people to buy her book! She will hold her own with Oprah. Oprah got a LOT of viewers mad at her when she endorsed Obama. She lost a lot of them.

[paul51]

I believe she thought the animal was dangerous but I doubt she had any idea of the true potential of the threat. I’m sure if she did, she wouldn’t have gone even if it were her boss. I have to believe if the owner knew that the animal would do something like this, she would have never asked anyone to put themselves in that kind of danger. An argument can be made that she should have known, that’s for sure.

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.

You can bet if I had witnessed this monkey pound his cage so hard he broke the welds.....I would stay as far from him as possible. If my boss called and said he had got out and needed my help to get him back in......Hahahahahahahahaha, Id have told him he was nuts.

[Jack Hammer]

So... why did the chimp go ape?

[MaxMax]

It's Bush's fault.

[Sarajevo]

The post injury picture looks like a poor attempt at reconstructive surgery.

[dersepp]

That the owner is responsible is specious when the owner has no resources for awarding in a court action. Blogs at the time found the chimp owners home value upside-down (public sources) and the owner not having insurance.

Notice the two aids present? It costs about $190K per annum to get the type of attendants she would need for 24/7 care, not to mention medical.
