A truly sad and strange story from this week's news:We read about the dangers of exotic pets in terms of affecting the ecosystem they sometimes escape into in their new countries as invasive species. Here perhaps is a twist on this? A chimp - brought as a performer from it home in Africa and then given up to be a domesticated pet - suffers a major break with its adopted human companions.
This chimpanzee threw a fatal tantrum when it wasn't allowed to go for a car ride after its dinner of fish & chips and caramel ice cream. On medication for Lyme disease and reportedly put put Xanex by its keeper when unruly. We want them to be animals and humans at the same time, all the time.
