Strange and Tragic

Connecticut woman Charla Nash was mauled by a 200 lb. chimp named Travis after being given the anti-anxiety drug, Xanax.  Travis was shot dead by Conn. police and Nash is hospitalized for her injuries.  Nash went to Sandra Herold's home to help calm the agitated chimp.  Police speculate that Nash was attacked because she was wearing her hair differently and was not recognized by the animal.

The same chimp had to be subduded by police when it escaped last year.... reminds me of when the gorilla got loose from franklin park and through that baby off of blue hill ave
