If you outlaw guns ...

There is a story out there somewhere about a zoo employee who was killed when he went to take a birthday cake in to a monkee cage and they attacked and killed him. I'll try to find it. Think it happened a year or so ago.

That got my curiousity up and I goobled it on the interweb:

St. James and LaDonna stood outside Moe’s cage. The moment was festive. Moe was happy and relaxed as birthday greetings were exchanged.

Then, without provocation, Buddy and Ollie, two chimpanzees who had escaped from an adjoining cage staged an ambush — or as Newt-trained Republicans like to say, “a pre-emptive attack.”

First, Buddy bit off LaDonna’s thumb. She froze. St. James pulled his bleeding wife away and faced the attackers. He even attempted to reason with them. They showed no mercy. It was pure chimpanzee shock and awe.

Buddy and Ollie chewed off St. James’ nose, gouged out an eye, tore off his cheek, bit off all his fingers, twisted and shredded his foot from his body, tore off his testicles, and literally mauled him.

The melee went on for seven minutes before a ranch worker shot Buddy in the head. Ollie was dragging St. James down a walkway when a bullet took him down.

A full grown chimp is nothing to take lightly. They are incredibly powerful and downright mean when angry.

They actually maul each other on occations.
Jackson was okay with Bubbles though
