Travis The Chimp Had "Form".

In my intro top right of the blog I mention the case of Travis the chimp who recently attacked a Connecticut woman, went on the rampage, and had to be shot dead. This AP piece reports that action to send Travis to an animal sanctuary might have been taken earlier because he had previously gone on the rampage in 2003, leading police a merry dance in downtown Stamford, for hours. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection had received a load of concerned emails from Stamford citizens over the intervening years but had never acted on them. Charla Nash, whom he attacked last February is still in Cleveland Clinic where she is recovering from injuries which included her hands, nose, lips and eyelids being ripped off. She is suing Travis's owner, Sandra Herold, for $50 million. Chimpanzees do not make perfect pets. How many times......
