Chimp Rampage: Travis the Chimp Goes Wild


Limelight is not new for Travis the Chimp because he was already trained and domesticated enough to be included in TV commercials. However, it is bizarre that Travis the chimp went wild as he mauled a woman and an entire police squad in Stamford, Connecticut!

As of press time, it is still unknown why the chimp bit Charla Nash who was wounded as she went over to her neighbor to bring the chimp back in. As the police went on to assist Nash, Travis the Chimp continued to do damage as he smashed the police car mirrors. The violence of the chimp was thwarted after he was downed by a police.

Here is the video of the news recounting the said incident:

  1. a CNN commentator made a good point about the impossibility of ever truly domesticating a wild animal, no matter how much a person might want it to to be domesticated
