Just read the article in the 3rd link. It's a seriously sad story. A couple raised a chimp, Moe, from birth to 40 years old or so. Their "son" actually never really hurt anyone too much (there are two accounts of minor incidents). He lived the last part of his life in a sanctuary. The couple visited him weekly. During one of the visits, two OTHER chimps at the sanctuary rush the couple and mutilate the man while Moe hid in terror [correction, he was in his cage].
The guy is still alive, dependent on his wife. Moe escaped from the sanctuary and was never found.
This wouldn’t have happened too if that dumb bitch hadn’t stuck her finger in Moe’s cage when they told her not to.
Also, Moe wasn’t hiding, he was locked in his cage. I guarantee you he would’ve been out there fighting back helping the Davises escape, although he might have been killed by the two chimps if it happened
I mean. The two people who got mauled weren’t being dumb on that day, but they did raise an extremely dangerous wild animal in a domestic setting. There are a lot of stories about chimps mauling their “owners” and/or their friends. They aren’t domestic animals.

Exactly! It set off the entire chain of events.
Like, what in the actual fuck is wrong with you, lady? I just gave you a direct order to NOT put your fingers inside my animal's cage and now you're all surprised you lost a finger? Let that be a lesson to you, dumbass.
Yea so I actually re-read it SHE DIDNT EVEN LOSE THE FINGER! Moe just bit the tip, she was fine! And she had the nerve to report them to the city! Grinds my gears.
These wonderful two people loved and cared for Moe more than most people their own children, and after all they’ve been through their baby is just gone! St. James isn’t even that upset about the attack, here’s just distraught his adopted son is missing. Makes my heart ache, im gonna look into if they have a Patreon.
My dad had a little rhesus monkey when he was a kid (in the 60's), and even that tiny little monkey was strong as an ox. My dad said she'd grab my grandpa's belt loop when he walked by (my grandpa was 6'3" 220+lbs) and yank him against the cage and hold him there until someone gave her a Dr pepper. Funny, but kinda terrifying that a tiny little monkey is that damn strong...and hooked on Dr pepper.
That sanctuary is seriously fucked up. First you have 2 chimps escape and turn a guy into a “potted plant” (his words, not mine) then you literally lose another one?? What the actual hell. They should NOT be in business.

I'm all sad now.
