Victim Of Chimp Mauling Out Of Coma
June 13, 2005

WEST COVINA, Calif. -- A California man mauled by two chimpanzees in March has been brought out of his medically induced coma.

His attorney said 62-year-old Saint James Davis has begun his slow recovery. Davis was attacked by two chimps while he and his wife were visiting their own pet chimp at a wildlife sanctuary near Bakersfield.

Davis was attacked while he and his wife LaDonna were visiting the Animal Haven Ranch outside Bakersfield to celebrate the 39 birthday of their pet monkey Moe.

While the couple was standing outside Moe's cage with a birthday cake, two other chimps escaped and attacked them. They chewed off most of Saint James Davis's face, tore off his foot and attacked his limbs and genitals.

The owner of the animal sanctuary is asking state authorities to find Moe a new home.

If I remember correctly this guy was visiting his monkey there (for it's birthday party ) because his monkey had attacked one of his neighbors while he kept it at his home. How's that for irony?

I've always said that CHIMPS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM CIVILIAN USE!!!

But nobody listens, and look what happened.

But when you outlaw chimps, only Michael Jackson will have chimps.

Wouldn't it be cruel if when he woke up, the first thing he saw was Planet of the Apes playing on TV?

When asked if he intended to visit his pet monkey in the near future, Davis responded: "I ain't got the balls for it, man."

Yep. This old couple had tried to raise this chimp as a real human baby. When it grew older / stronger / uncontrollable, they had to give it up to this facility. They went to 'visit their baby' and it almost killed him. And now the poor stupid bastard is probably wishing he was dead.

You know things are going bad when it is the monkey that spanks you, instead of the other way around...

Those animals have super strong upper body strength, and why not? In the wilds they are swing from tree to tree, if they didn't have all of that strenght they would soon perish either starving or eaten by predetors.
