In Las Vegas, police had to shoot and kill one supporter of Chongo Chimp and use a tranquilizer dart on another! Is this the sort of President for the US -- one whose supporters destroy quiet neighborhoods and threaten other animals? No! I say! There has been enough of that!

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Authorities say they had no choice but to kill one rampaging chimpanzee and tranquilize another after the primates escaped a Las Vegas-area backyard and tore through a neighborhood, pounding on cars and jumping into at least one vehicle.

No people were hurt when the agitated animals escaped their enclosure about 10 a.m. Thursday and started running through yards and opening car doors in a community of horse pens, palm trees and tile-roofed, landscaped homes.

Area resident David Plunkett said he saw the male chimpanzee leap on top of a police car - with its lights on and an officer inside - before the animal jumped to the ground and headed into a vacant lot.

"We tried to establish a perimeter until the experts arrived," said Officer Marcus Martin, a Las Vegas police spokesman. "But at least for the first animal, they couldn't get there in time."

The Las Vegas-area chimps were on the loose for about 30 minutes with police trying to corral them before a male primate believed to weigh more than 150 pounds was shot and killed. The other chimp, a female, was shot with a tranquilizer dart but continued to roam the area for several more minutes before she was hit with a second dart.
