Update: Charla Nash appears on the Oprah Winfrey Show, click here for details.
Charla Nash was attacked and nearly killed by her friend Sandra Herold's 14-year-old chimpanzee pet Travis. Travis the chimp has starred in television commercials for Old Navy and Coca-Cola. The highly trained chimpanzee was treated more like a person by Stanford owner Sandra Herold who fed him lobster, steak, italian food, wine and desserts at the dinner table.
When Travis the chimp seemed upset this week Herold slipped some of the antidepressent Xanax into his tea. Sounds like a scene out of a dramatic movie doesn't it?
The 200 pound gorilla went crazy out of the blue attacking Herold's friend Charla Nash who was over at the house visiting. According to recent reports the chimp ripped off Charla Nash's face during the 12 minute long attack. Sandra Herold began stabbing the chimp in attempts to save her friend and called 911 for help. Here is the heartbreaking call for help:
Police shot Travis the chimp once they arrived on the scened and the chimp died. Not only was Travis the chimp fed Xanax but he was also suffering from Lyme disease. Instead of eating lobster and wine he should have been treated like a chimpanzee including treatment for his ailment. Is it really a surprise that an animal who behaves like a human resorted to animal behavior. I think not.
Victim Charla Nash is currently in hospital in critical condition with extensive injuries to her face. The chimps owner could possibly face criminal charges.
