Had the CT government known there was an irrational,malevolent, trained chimp in the state they would have had him run for office

If the state knew of the danger and didn’t do a thing to prevent it other than a letter, there is precedent especially if the authorities stated the danger yet made no effort to prevent harm. I know of an animal bite case where the state identified a dangerous dog and didn’t move to protect the public and the dog took off a 5 year old girl’s face.

...the state knew a year before...

By that standard, you shouldnt’ sue someone over a dangerous cliff that you jumped off of.

Sounds to me like a monkey just doing the things monkeys do.

"The tremendously powerful primate could open doors using keys, ate at the dinner table with a glass of wine and adored ice cream. He was a big fan of baseball, could drive a car, enjoyed painting and even took baths with Herold."

She says it is evidence Connecticut authorities should have seized the chimp. Right but the stupid women would have fought the state tooth and nail, gone on TV wailing about the state seizing their chimp.

It’s not the primates, it’s the people who raise them.

by that reasoning a State could be sued everytime someone is killed with a gun, because Democratic lawmakers all the time tell us how dangerous guns are, and that people having them is just an accident waiting to happen.

Chimpanzees are especially nasty. I’d rather take my chances with a gorilla.

What if McDonalds had spilled hot coffee on the chimp’s lap. Then what?

A chimp is a dangerous animal. By third grade or so, at the latest, you become responsible for internalizing that fact and acting accordingly for the remainder of your days. There is no role for the state.
She's embarrassed that she put herself in the position to be attacked and now she's just suing to save face.

Chimpanzees are especially nasty. Id rather take my chances with a gorilla.Right you are. An adolescent chimp has the mentality of an angry two year old and the strength of six men. A gorilla is less likely to attack though they will if provoked.

Gorillas generally try to avoid confrontation in the wild while Chimpanzees often initiate confrontation.
I was watching a show a while back about great apes and almost every single time the silverback male would show himself and beat his chest to an invading group but it was generally done at a fair distance. Usually the invading group would back off.
With chimpanzees they all get involved in getting in each others faces and are pretty quick to go to war.
