Chimp Attack
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! What fun it is to show everyone our pets, especially when they are exotic and unusual. Maybe the recent attack that was experienced involving a ‘domesticated’ chimpanzee will alert us to the fact that, when it comes to wild animals, there’s no place in a private home!
It is time to wake up and realize that wild animals do not belong in the homes of private people. They belong in the wild or somewhere that they are controlled. It isn’t a time to point fingers at the poor seventy-year old woman who owned the chimp. For all those years, it was a wonderful relationship. She was following the laws of the land. The problem really lies in the fact that the law allows it to happen.
We all need to pray for the poor woman that was attacked. And for the dear lady who owned the chimp. She is suffering on many different levels. At the same time, we need to change the laws so that another incident as tragic as this will never happen again!
