One life ruined one life lost. It all could have been avoided if the cages had been secured correctly and the animal handler had been more careful. She should not be able to keep any more animals. She should be hald accountable it ws all her fault Thic is truly a sad story on both sides. One life ruined one life lost.

I have to say that I'm really appalled by the inconsiderate comments toward the HUMAN life that has been forever changed in this story. The comments on here about "Poor Travis" amaze me. Yeah, he shouldn't have been in captivity but he was and it seems to me that he was pretty happy with it. The one who is suffering here is not the "Poor Owner" who lost her "Pet". She should be held accountable if you ask me. The one who is suffering is the woman who was attacked. That is true suffering. Where is your human compassion?????? I think anyone who wants to try and domesticate an animal who is clearly WILD, should have to be held accountable when something goes terribly wrong. And why is that people are ALOUD to have such dangerous creatures in their homes. Only 21 states ban this ridiculous human ingnorance. And it's true that it's a shame that some people have to suffer at the hands of other peoples sheer stupidity!!! Okay…..

He was raised and treated like a human but somewhere along the line they forgot he WASN'T HUMAN. Humans are to blame for vicious attacks like these not animals. I feel bad for animals that have to be killed and die over stupid people like this. Leave them where they belong and this never would have happened.

Possibly he was imitating other Hollywood stars who've trashed hotel rooms or thrown telephones at desk clerks? It may be that he envisioned himself going on Leno and Letterman so that he could seek the sympathy of his mindless liberal fans who, rightfully, pass no judgments on him because they don't know what it's like to grow up an orphaned simian of color in an otherwise white, human, and species-ist environment... We could all have learnt a lot from that Travis, he was above us all, a well spring of wisdom and diverse chimp perspectives on our imperfect and violent human world; but alas his life was cut short by a policeman's bullet! Damned Cops! :)... Could it be that Travis was pulling some sort of publicity stunt in the hopes that he might breathe some life into his waning career in advertising?

What was she doing giving him pills that are meant for humans NOT animals??? I think this is the owners fault for being selfish and stupid and having a wild animal in her home!! Wild animals shouldn't be locked up in someone's house!! This lady is a freaking moron and should be held responsible!!!

I sympothize with the victim and her family but ,what isn't being said is that even though NO WILD ANIMAL SHOULD BE FORCED INTO A DOMESTIC SURROUNDING it went into instinct not "training" and this severe of an attack on humans is rare. Chimps are primates and we fall in the same biological family the difference is we inhabit every continent on the planet. People do your research before you even think of getting a wild animal, I want a damn penguin but I live in the southeast, and it probably wouldn't work out to well and I have to accept that. Even people with deadly reptiles that outgrow their realm of care so they release them into the wild leaving the whatever it is to cross breed and now they're all over the damn place. Just make responsible decisions rather it have short term or long term effects someone may very well get the dirty end of the stick... If I can end with saying I am a former Myrtle Beach EMT/Firefighter and currently work for a news company as a photographer and over time I have seen alot of bad things and its really sad at times like this when someone falls victim to another persons ignorance...

There could be another way to handle the situation instead of killing him but it's done. Is it his fault that he's living in this environment? Travis does not DESERVE to die.
