Afraid I can not join in the merriment here. That poor woman had her face wripped off and eaten perhaps, as well as her fingers chewed off, according to some. What a moronic, stupid idiotic "mother" that chimp has..then going on TV and saying he was my son (it gets worse), etc. We have to protect society from people with terrible mental issues, and she did lose her daughter and husband, but I don't think she would have been allowed a kitten under proper screening. She should be criminally charged, and if she is found not to be mentally competent, which I do not know how she could be, let off, but never allowed to have any lpet whatsoever, and probably be in some sort of supervised capacity herself. It was a sick realtionship, bad enough, but someone got nearly killed, and might die, and is without a face or jaw..

because some nutty woman was lonely. Deal with it. Join a grieving group or whatever. I hope the law steps in with her and with anyone else with dangerous animals. mg
