    If they were really concerned for the well-being of the chimp, they would have a better chance proving cruelty to animals or neglect. This is just fishing for a sympathetic judge to try and change the law.

    This chimp needs to make a contribution to Sheldon Silver’s campaign fund, if he wants to be taken care of.

    Once male chimps reach puberty, they can be extremely violent.

    Does this mean that the monkey will be made a ward of Bill Cosby?

    LOL - I was just thinking the same thing!
A quick search came up with Truman calling it the White Jail, and michelle obama calling it a “really nice prison”.

    “Once male chimps reach puberty, they can be extremely violent.”
Yes.. they attack suddenly, often for no reason. They’re most dangerous when allowed to run in packs.

    They are strong enough to rip a human’s arm clean off.
And the woman who had arms and her face ripped off several years ago was attacked by a pet chimp she knew.
