"Chealander said the chimps probably escaped because, unbeknownst to Brauer, they had learned to reach through the wire mesh and push up the pin that held the door in place -- a trick investigators saw the female chimps perform during a March 10 visit."

I've always wondered, and perhaps someone can tell me, why is it that chimps are so much stronger than us? Do they have a much lower adrenaline threshhold? Is it a matter of physics? I know they are much smaller. They say a chimp can effective bench the equivalent of 1200 lbs which is just astounding. I'm very large and I've only approached 400 lbs.

This was and remains, so horrible. Am glad to see an update as did wonder what happened post 'media'. . .

Am shocked to learn that this poor man is not yet aware of his own condition at this point; though perhaps he knows, at some level. . .would not want to be there when he wakes up.

That said; I would not want to wake-up; at all. . . .

This is the couple that was visiting the sanctuary to see their former "pet" that had attacked someone (a child I think), right? They were forced to get rid of the animal after that incident.

I'm very sorry to hear of his devastating injuries but it sounds like they are the poster couple for reasons NOT to try to domesticate chimps and other critters.

. . . feces he inhaled while wrestling with the chimp in the dirt . . .

Well, I'll not complain about having a bad day. That's for sure.
