oprah winfrey woman attacked by chimpanzee

I have a respect and admiration for all living things. Compassion for the victim is definitely in order. Earning a living is now out of the question for this woman. Not to mention that her hands are also history. Stop and think how any of you would feel if it were you or someone you love who ended up with his/her face ripped off due to an attack by ANY animal be it a dog or an ape. The bottim line is, wild animals should be left in the wild or in a zoo where they can be properly cared for and habitated in a somewhat normal environment.

Just the cost of the medical procedures and meds she will need for the rest of her life would bankrupt anyone.

A dog owner is responsible for damages when it rips someones arm or face apart, why shouldnt this owner be responsible financially too? Do you think the victim is going to be able to live a normal life and work a normal job anytime soon? I think not. The owner should have to take financial responsibility for the injury it caused to this woman. The woman who owned the chimp knew the animal was troubled, thus she medicated the animal with xanax to keep it under control. My question is then why is the spring buck still so tiny, why don't they evolve to have longer legs? If humans evolved from apes, and adaptation is real, then why are there still so many short people in the world? Wouldn't all men be tall and muscular if we could control our physique by sheer will? I have never swallowed the evolution argument. If this were true, why are there still apes? If animals are able to 'adapt' or 'evolve' to better cope with living situations (scientists have long claimed that giraffes necks have elongated over time to enable them to reach the tree tops and that elephants trunks elongated for the same reason). Not everyone believes that we have descended from apes. Our legislators should look carefully into outlawing personal ownership of wild animals. The woman that owned the chimp should be held responsible for the damage done to the neighbor, period. As a youngster, I dreamed of having a pet cougar but as I grew older I realized the folly of that dream.

I agree that wild animals should not be domesticated. Oprah Winfrey: Chimp Victim 'Doesn't Recall Attack' Posted at Novem4:23 AM It may be an act of God's mercy that she does not recall the attack, but the effects of it will still live with her forever, and she certainly ought to be provided for as well as is possible.Ī Connecticut woman who was mauled and blinded after a 200-pound chimpanzee attacked her in February is set to appear on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' Chicago-based Harpo Productions said in a Monday statement that Charla Nash will appear on Wednesday's episode of Winfrey's talk show. Since the day of the attack, the chimp victim has understandably pursued a million dollar lawsuit, for restitution on the horrible life altering injuries she suffered as the chimp brutalized her face and hands. The victim of the chimp attack in which a woman's pet primate brutally assaulted her friend before being killed by police is appearing in public for the first time, as she speaks to Oprah Winfrey about her ordeal.
