“Nash said she wants to warn people about potential dangers posed by exotic animals.”

My heart goes out to this woman for her horrific injuries.
An adult Chimp is NOT a cute little animal. Its is very intelligent, very strong and very dangerous. It definitely belongs in the wild and not in a cage in a residential area.
An adult male chimp can pick up an industrial freezer and throw it across a room. Even a gorilla or Orangutan is less lethal than this creature.

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.

KNOWING how dangerous this creature was, I wonder WHY they agreed to help that nut try and re-cage it.

The REAL criminal in this case is the nut who kept it.

They call them wild animals for a reason.
