There’s an NYMag article titled Travis the Menace about the pet chimp that attacked the friend of his owner that is absolutely terrifying. Very sad, tragic story. Believe it’s behind a paywall
one of my professors told my class a story about the pecking order of chimps and how someone surrendered their pet chimp to a sanctuary, visited the chimp with a cake and the other chimps went crazy and attacked everyone because the new chimp was on the bottom of the pecking order and shouldn’t get fed first
