Lacy, First I would consider an ad listing the price of a chimpanzee at $2,000, highly suspicious. My problem is the desire people have to purchase wild animals as pets. As for the chimp attack in CT, yes the owner gave her chimp medication but the outcome of that attack was not an isolated incident! There have been many similar chimp attacks without the involvement of drugs. The injuries Charla Nash sustained are a common outcome in a chimp attack. Her case was widely publicized and her pictures are all over the Internet. Although I agree with catman that this ad is clearly a scam, the people seeking to purchase a chimp are real. I advise those interested to look up the photo's of Charla Nash before making the decision to own a chimpanzee.
