Chimp Was Not at Fault in Attack—Wild Animals Should Be Left in the Wild

While I agree that the Chimp attack was the owners fault, I think you are off your rocker with the rest of your blog. The owner should not have ever let a person in with a Chimp.

First of all, leaving animals in the wild is a death sentence. With human encroachment, destruction of forest in the thousands of acres a week, poaching, disease, predidation etc, they would become extinct in no time.

Zoo's cannot save them. As a matter of fact, it is the private sector that has saved more species than can be counted from going extinct. Zoo's have not ever saved one.

Zoo's are all hype. They have reduce the wild cats that they plan on breeding to just 12 out of 38. They only chose the ones that make them money. Zoo's are pretty worthless when it come to captive conservation efforts.

The injuries/deaths from wild animals is less than one half of one percent in the private sector. Truth be known, most injuries happen at Zoo's and wild animal sanctuaries, not in private hands.

Dogs cause many many more inhuries and death as well as horses. She we ban them? Thousands of people are injured or die is car wrecks. Should be ban all cars from being driven? I would think the answer to both is NO. So, why should ee ban wild animals if they cause a whole lot less issues than domestic animals.

Sadly, you are blogging on something you know nothing about.

I agree!!! I said long ago that we need harsher sentences along with strict laws that prohibit posession of ANY wild animal!!!
