A woman was fighting for her life on Monday night following a bizarre attack by a pet chimpanzee.
CBS 2 HD has learned a lot more about the animal, who even had a history on television.
The chimpanzee, considered a fixture in the north Stamford community, turned into a monster on Monday afternoon, attacking a 55-year-old woman after she showed up at the home of the animal's owner, at 241 Rockrimmon Road.
"He bit both of her hands off and the cop told me he just kept eating her. It's terrible," said Lynne Mecca, a friend of the victim.
The 200-pound animal was a celebrity in Stamford. It appeared in TV commercials. People would stop to take photos with "Travis the chimp" as he was called.
But that all changed when it attacked Charla Nash, a friend of the animal's owner.
"The owner went into the kitchen, retrieved a long butcher knife and stabbed the chimp several times to assist her friend," Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin told CBS 2 HD.
The animal escaped into a wooded area, only to return when police arrived.
"The chimpanzee knocked the mirror off and tried to access the [police] car by opening the door," Capt. Conklin said.
As the animal tried to enter the vehicle, the officer in the driver's seat shot it several times in the chest.
Travis again escaped, (cop must have been a bad shot) but after a lengthy search ended inside the home, "a blood trail was followed to a room where it was found expired from the gunshot wounds," Conklin said.
Travis grew up in the house he died in. His aggressive action did not come as a surprise to one animal expert.
"Well, aggressive behavior in chimpanzees is very normal actually," Dr. E'Lise Christensen said. "So when they're in an environment filled with people, they don't have any other targets other than people to be aggressive towards." LMAO ... I shall translate Dr. E'Lise for the libs ... "What did you expect, you fucking idiots?"
The news of a lengthy and brutal attack came as a surprise to some. Neighbors told CBS 2 HD it wasn't uncommon to see Travis walking around the neighborhood, sometimes unleashed. Of course ... unleashed ... why not?
"He was friendly, always friendly," one neighbor said.
But not to everyone.
"Oh yeah, he didn't like me at all," said Don Mecca, who also said he feared for his life around the animal. "Dangerous, 100 percent dangerous … he hated me." Well, at least Don can walk around his own neighborhood without fearing for his life now. The libs don't care about Don though, they only care about themselves. I'm very glad it was a lib who got her hands eaten off instead of a guy like Don. The sweet, sweet poetry.
Ironically, CBS 2 HD has also learned that the same chimpanzee escaped from his owners' SUV back in 2003 and caused havoc in downtown Stamford before police put down the then-175-pound animal with a tranquilizer gun. From wcbstv.com What? It happened before? Oh well, you can't expect a lib to learn a lesson ... that's the essential characteristic of a lib ... the very nature of a lib. If libs learned lessons, they'd be conservatives.
