the Monkey Bite Bill
Also known as the "Captive Primate Safety Act" - this piece of legislation has been around sonce 2005 but now has gotten serious (or in the case of the Daily Show, not-so-serious) attention after the chimpanzee Travis critically attacked a human.
One thing unfortunate thing about this whole congressional discussion regarding Travis and the other chimpanzees shown throughout the daily show clip: chimpanzees are NOT monkeys! Both are a kind of primate for sure, but chimpanzees - like us - are apes my friends, not monkeys.
