Travis the monkey killed for going on a rampage while mental

Jiro said:
Xanax - THIS IS NOT NORMAL. If the animal is placed on medication especially for depression, anxiety, or any such kind - it's because it's YOU who made it this way. No animal should ever be placed on such depression-related medication. Poor Travis was forced to live in human environment, acted like human, etc. like human. I'm not surprised he was going insane!

CRUEL CRUEL CRUEL!

Yes, like what I said before that Travis's "mom" is the responsible for gave Travis Xanax and trust her friend for the help to calm Travis down without check with the Vet first.

Yes, I know what Travis's "mom" did is irresponsible when Travis's behavior began notice but continue to call her friend for the help and gave him Xanax... but I have no opinion about cruelty, etc like what you said here, all what I want to say is Travis was happy live with his "mom" for long 15 years until lyme diease affect Travis..... I personally would NEVER adopt wild animals or dangerous domestic pets...

While it is true that chimps and other apes are related to humans and having similar behaviors as we do but of course, they will NEVER be like us. They are entirely different species than us. We should never treat them as humans when we know that they are not.

Treat them with respect yeah but dont treat them like humans anyway. The owner should've known that...so it may not be the diease or the drug that caused the chimp to go on a rampage as it seems most animal experts are not even surprised that it was like a disaster waiting to happen. Apes should never live the same way as humans...they should live the way as the REAL apes live so I guess thats how life is.

what makes you think he's happy to live with his mom for 15 years? did he say that? maybe he had been drugged up during the whole time.... which is why he may have acted happy. That's why I said this was cruel to make him live like a human. He should be out there swinging thru trees, socializing with other chimps, humping other chimps on daily basis, etc.

Prosthetic eyes is all that she can get. They cant do the reconnect of nerves and I don't think the eyes were intact at all either. Also lost her nose and jaw.

Terrible :(

If she get prosthetic eyes which mean that she can't see anymore... I hope the doctors will find nerves to connect her eyes then she can see.

I feel down after read the description in several articles over her face damage, hands, etc. :tears:

which I find it very hard to believe. I know lot of people own chimps but I also know lot of them give away chimps to Chimp Sanctuary because when they get older - it's very difficult.

IMO - he looks VERY DRUGGED UP. :mad2:

"Male chimpanzees, once they reach maturity, can be aggressive. I'm sure I did express that to her."

Herold said she expected to eventually have to give up the chimp, DellaBianca said.

"She did say that herself. She knew some day he would probably have to go to a sanctuary," DellaBianca said. "She knew chimpanzees; they can get more difficult to handle as they get older."

I can relate with Jiro's opinion.
I dont agree that chimps live with humans home. Chimps belongs in the jungles with the rest of his gangs. Jungle is good for their own. that's so cruel of any humans who keeps chimps inside the humans home than out in the jungle. :(

zoo's fine because they have money for artificial chimp environment, proper facility, and other chimps. I'd prefer it goes to chimp sanctuary but zoo's fine.
 
I dont like the idea of any animals live in the zoo. :( but what can i do about it? nothing.

Sadly, jungles arent safe for apes anymore...not safe for any wild animals. Reason? Humans.

There are hunters who wouldnt give a damn about the law against hunting wild animals such as gorillas and tigers and elephants...no wonder they are in the endangered speices list.

Gorillas get killed everyday in Africa...having their heads ripped off, hands taken off, and even eatting them. While we may not be physically stronger than them, but we are still a much greater threat to nature.

Sad but true...so yeah it sucks. Thats why zoos and wildlife centers are better for more protection on wild animals.

I know. that sucks. like ccsinned said, poachers. :mad2: again, those wild animals still belongs to wildlife & jungles. that's what their body designs for. same thing we have crimes here. murder, abuses etc. not safe for us either. the bottom line is that any wild animals rather wildlife due to plenty of spaces compare to ZOO or wildlife centers. They are way too small. Those people still abuse animals at zoo. too.

there's no plenty space left in wildlife anymore because we bulldozed their homes. That's why there are so few chimps/gorillas/apes left :(

For now.... zoo and sanctuary are their safest homes. :(:(:(
