No you may not recognise him right off the top of your head, but you most likely have seen him on comercials. The chimp was in such commercials as old navy and coca cola. The 15 year old chimp travis grew up with his owners being raised as any normal child would. Only difference is this little guy was not a human child. He could dress himself bath himself wated tv and logged on the computer to look at pictures. Sounds like a kid. But he isn’t as he proved the other day by mauling a friend of his owners. The woman came to help subdue the animal after he became agitated and escaped his owners home. After attacking the woman the owner went in and came out of her home carrying a butcher knife in which she repeatedly stabbed the animal. After then animal shyed away the owner called 911 where police and rescue personel were called in. To end the tale the animal died after being shot by police.
No one can explain what made the animal go baserk so I will attemp to explain why here. ANIMALS ARE NOT PEOPLE. And should not be treated as thus. Animals taken out of there habitate and raised in another may forget how they should act in the wild but there instincts never leave. Yes animals do learn certain behavior, but they always have insticts. They are born with instincts and that is what helps them survive.
This is a sad story but in my opinion the owners should never have been alowed to do what they had done to this animal….
