"People don't have a clue, they just want to condemn me," Herold says while wiping away tears. "My friends told me anyone who wants to look into whether I have a history of abusing animals will come up empty. Travis was my son and if they want to say I'm crazy or nuts for calling him that, go ahead."

Octomom and Chimp-lover need quarters in a special wing at the Obama White House for oppressed minorities.

Dear Jeff Head,

Since the animal in question was a chimp and since chimps have been used as a racist symbol in the past and since we now have a black President, that means you have called the President of the United States "a crazed, viscious animal" which makes you a racist.

Yours truly,
Julian Bond

Nash suffered such serious injuries to her face, neck and hands that she remains in a medically induced coma.

Can't be much left of a face that's been mauled for 12 minutes. What a nightmare.

This woman is definitely not connected with reality...she must be a liberal. she seems to have more compassion for the stupid ape than her disfigured friend.

"People don't have a clue..."

LOL! That's as far as I could get!

What's next from this liberal nut? "If you haven't slept in chimp pooh, then you have no right to criticize me?"...

Any way you look at it, this is a damn sad story for this dizzy woman. Personally, I’m not shy about calling my Lab my baby girl. But then she hasn’t spent the past several hundred thousand years climbing trees and eating her young!

Wonder if Travis voted? Perhaps we should check the records?

Did he have a social security card?

LOL! Probably not, but I’m sure ACORN had him registered.
