Re: Woman Mauled By Chimp- Before and After
I read that the owner of the chimp that attacked the woman had medicated the chimp that day because he was anxious or upset or some such nonsense. I think she gave him haldol. She obviously didn't know what she was doing. The whole ordeal had to be just as traumatic for her as it was for this victim. Watching her best friend being eaten by her chimp  May she and the chimp finally rest in peace and I hope that the victim is dealing with her psychological trauma as well as her physical trauma.

Re: Woman Mauled By Chimp- Before and After
On February 16, 2009, Travis attacked Sandra Herold's friend Charla Nash, age 55, inflicting devastating injuries to her face and limbs. Travis had left the house with Herold's car keys, and Nash came to help get the animal back in the house; upon seeing Nash, Travis immediately attacked her.[8] Travis was familiar with Nash, who had also worked at the Herolds' towing company, although Nash had a different hair style at the time of the attack.[21] The ape had been taking medication for Lyme disease.[14] Herold, then 70 years old, attempted to stop Travis by hitting him with a shovel and stabbing him with a butcher knife; however this only made the animal angrier. She then called 9-1-1 and pleaded for help. Travis' screams can be heard in the background of the tape as Sandra pleads for police with guns saying, "He's eating her."[22][23][24] Emergency medical services waited for police before approaching the house. Travis walked up to the police car when it arrived and tried to open a locked passenger door, instead smashing a side-view mirror. Then he went calmly around to the driver's-side door and opened it, at which point Officer Frank Chiafari shot him several times. Travis retreated to the house, where he was found dead inside his cage.[8] Injuries to Nash were described as "horrendous" by the emergency crew.[19] Within the following 72 hours, she underwent more than seven hours of surgery on her face and hands by four teams of surgeons. The hospital provided counseling to its staff members who initially treated her because of the extraordinary nature of Nash's injuries.[25] Paramedics noted she lost her hands, nose, eyes, lips, mid-face bone structure, and received significant brain tissue injuries.[26] Doctors were able to successfully reattach her jaw, but announced on April 7, 2009 that Nash would be blind for life. Her injuries made her a possible candidate for an experimental face transplant surgery.[25] After initial treatment at Stamford Hospital, Nash was transferred to the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.[27] Her family started a trust fund to raise money to pay her “unfathomable” medical bills and support her daughter.[28] Nash revealed her damaged face in public for the first time on the Oprah Winfrey Show on November 11, 2009. She was not in physical pain from the attack, and family members said she hoped to leave the Cleveland Clinic soon.[29] Pictures have surfaced on the internet displaying Nash's face before and after the attack. As per standard procedure, Travis's head was taken to the state laboratory for a rabies test and the body was taken to the University of Connecticut for a necropsy.[4] The body tested negative for rabies,[18] but a Connecticut professor found the presence of alprazolam (Xanax) in its system.[30] Necropsy results in May 2009 confirmed the chimp was overweight and had been stabbed.[31] The remains were cremated at All Pets Crematory in Stamford on February 25, 2009.[32] <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3DeJjHAz8I?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a3DeJjHAz8I?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Citations 1# ^ a b Christoffersen, John (May 25, 2010).

Re: Woman Mauled By Chimp- Before and After
I wish there was actual footage of a person being mauled by a chimp. I'd love to see how they actually do such violent things in such a short amount of time... and how they do it. Obviously with their hands and teeth, but the method on how they do it is what I'm curious about.
