The 15-minute recording captures the bizarre horror of Monday's attack, which left a 55-year-old woman critically injured and the 200-pound ape dead in a hail of police gunfire.
"Hurry, please! He ripped her face off," the ape's frantic owner, Sandy Herold, 70, is heard telling the dispatcher on the tapes released Tuesday night.
"Listen to me, you have to shoot him."
The terrifying screeches of Travis the chimpanzee are heard as he mercilessly pounces on Herold's pal, Charla Nash.
"He killed her!" Herold told the dispatcher. "He ripped her apart. He tried attacking me. How fast can you get here?"
The dispatcher sounds incredulous as Herold describes how she had to stab the burly ape and only aggravated him.
"He's eating her," Herold screamed. "Please have them go faster."

I thought the ape was prescribed the xanax since it was getting over lyme disease?
LOL! TMZ has that joke up on their website... a pic of cops blasing the chimp with that caption.. oh, there is a poll there as well... racist? yes or no.
Ha!
Murder in the Rue Morgue—I thought it sounded dumb when reading it, but maybe I have to reevaluate it
I respect your FReeper nick.
24/7 cable TV is the ‘circus’ portion of the Imperial public dole.
The ‘bread’ part is being, er, stimulated as we speak.
It was the chimp expressing itself on man’s role in global warming and the switch to digital signal tv
LOLOLOL!!!!
Yes, I’ve heard the tape.
*** BOOM ***** BOOOM ****
Two dangerous parasites instantly tried, convicted, and dispatched.
If the lady had her own gun, she could have dispatched the stupid chimp before it could have done as much harm as it did.

what is it they say about how people , in time, begin the resemble their dogs ?
I would suggest wearing a concealed handgun which has a trigger guard too small for the apes fingers in the case that the ape knows how to use it. The .38 I have with me appears to be a good candidate for such a use.
All good points ... prolly not a good idea to consider wild animals as friends either ... Unless you are Rex Harrison of course.
Ever heard of "Jungle Fever"? 'nuff said.
I haven’t seen this person, was she wearing a loin cloth like Jane from the Tarzan show?
I’ve heard that chimpanzees are nearly twice as strong as humans.
You make a good point. A trigger guard too small for the chimps finger could have saved the day. Another example of it is better to have a gun and not need it then need a gun and not have one. Buy American!
LOL! Back on the nitrous???
yessir! New tank and all!
Response: Well. At least she faced up to the chimp problem.
I was on a team that wrote software for the 911 call centers. The system automatically connects to the appropriate agency and transfers the call information as the information is filled in by the dispatcher. As soon as she identified the nature of the call and the dispatcher selected the pulldown, all the information was transferred to the police and rescue center.
“Travis’ violence may be linked to a recent bout with Lyme disease, a tick-borne infection that can cause paranoia and mood swings in people, said Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin. “
This is true of dogs also.
Chimps are defintely NOT the exotic “pet” that anyone except a professional primatologist should be involved with.
They are incredibly strong. I remember a guy at a zoo telling me he saw one pick up an industrial freezer and throw it across the room in a fit of range.
Its a tragedy for the woman who was injured and I pray she recovers.
It was a tragedy for the owner who was obviously very attached to the creature.
And it was a tragedy for the chimp who should have been left in the jungle where he belonged.
None of these actors should ever have been together. It was a bad mistake which turned into a mutual nightmare.
that’s on video?
