Attacking Chimp Owner denies Xanax use

The owner of the Chimp involved in an attack that was  caught on a 911 recording, denies giving the animal Xanax.

Owner now says she never gave slain chimp Xanax

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) – As authorities considered criminal charges, the woman whose 200-pound domesticated chimpanzee went berserk and mauled a friend backtracked Wednesday on whether she gave the animal the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. Sandra Herold told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she never gave the drug to her 14-year-old chimp, Travis, who was shot dead by Stamford police Monday after he grievously wounded Herold’s friend Charla Nash.

However, Herold said in an interview aired Wednesday morning on NBC’s “Today” show that she gave Travis the drug in some tea less than five minutes before he attacked Nash – she even showed a reporter the mug. Police have said Herold told them that she gave Travis Xanax that had not been prescribed for him earlier on Monday to calm him because he was agitated.

I wonder what Charles the Darwinist has to say? This is just a weird story.

    Very weird story indeed. I understand that the woman who was attacked had surgery today and has massive face injuries.

    Who cares what Charles the darwinist says, on this or any matter.

    Only his echo chamber.

    Bar,

    I think it’s funny too. Come on people, doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor anymore?

    Good lord! How many political cartoons did they have for Bush, Palin, etc.?

    Is every criticism of the current Administration going to be called racist? God help us!

    The race card is in constant play now as a cheap way to avoid any criticism.

    Now although Teh One advocated the pork bill he didnt write the legislative monkeys did.

    Bar,

    Yep, you’re right but I guess because he’s going everywhere campaigning for it, the idiots think it’s a racial slam against him. Geez!

    Not only was it an odd story, but it was sad.

    Not only was the woman attacked and harmed by the chimp, but the cops shot and killed the poor chimp.

    Doctors say woman mauled by chimp making progress

    Charles will say, this chimp showed human behavior. Hence it proves we come from them. That is what I was getting at with my question of what Nancy thinks.

    I want to know why the the chimp story is a msm main story these days when if I didn’t read the blogs, I would not even know about the moderate muslim slicing his wife’s head off.

    Arwyn, I think we know why.

    They’re using the chimp to distract us; “Hey, looka da monkey!”

    Gotta push this kind of story so that we don’t find out what is ACTUALLY in the Spending bill that takes away LOTS of rights for the sake of government depedence.

    LOOKIT DAT! HEY, LOOKIT DAT MONKEY!

    (Pay no attention to that Moslem, beheading his wife, or the spending bill!)
