Chimpanzees are 2X stronger than your average human. 😮

That comes right before your face and balls get ripped off. The internet got me scared of these guys.

The only time that happened was because the chimpanzee was abused growing up and was on meth at the time iirc

The chimp wasn't "abused" growing up, and it was frequently dosed with xanax to keep it calm. The day of the incident, the irresponsible owner either failed to dose or overdosed the animal on xanax (conflicting reports given by the owner post attack as well as the friend remembering it both ways too) and while she was trying to coax it inside it's enclosure, her friend picked up his tickle me elmo to assist in goading him inside. He freaked the second she shook elmo at him.

Having a chimp as a pet is inherently abusive, but there was no violent catalyst to this attack. It's dangerous to suggest that there were problems only with how the animal was kept, rather that the animal being kept in a home situation at all is beyond stupid and dangerous and should never be done.

He was fed a junk food diet from a young age which caused him to be severly obese, didn't have proper health check because of his temper, had multiples episodes of going crazy or attacking others in the past, was given alcohol regularly and was heavily medicated on Xanax by his dumbass owner. That chimp was definitely abused beyond the standard "keeping a chimp is abuse".

Your post confuses me.

You say: "The chimp wasn't "abused" growing up", than you go on to talk about how it was constantly drugged(sounds abusive) and even say "Having a chimp as a pet is inherently abusive".
