Have you heard of the Captive Primate Safety Act? It would outlaw the purchase and transportation of primates across state lines and would prohibit dangerous direct contact between them and the public. It’s too late to help Travis or Buck, but you can join PETA in helping to secure a better future for other “pet” primates. A Connecticut woman who was attacked by a 200-pound chimpanzee revealed her heavily disfigured face on television Wednesday, saying she is blind and has to eat through a straw, but isn't angry. Even before Travis ripped a woman’s face off more than a decade ago, it was clear that such attacks are inevitable so long as people continue to treat chimpanzees like Chihuahuas. PETA had already cautioned law enforcement of this very danger, warning state authorities that she had created a ticking time bomb by engaging in direct contact with a dangerous ape. She had deprived the highly social animal of the companionship of other chimpanzees and kept him as a “pet” for years before he mauled her daughter. Those who can’t live in nature need to be socialized with other chimpanzees and kept in secure enclosures that offer plenty of environmental complexity and that will protect them from being shot and killed after they unsurprisingly lash out.ĭeputies from the sheriff’s office were reportedly called to Brogoitti’s home after Buck was allowed out of his cage. Chimpanzees don’t belong in human households.

He’s free to roam the house, which is not only reckless but also apparently illegal. In this photo, which PETA obtained through a public records request from the state of Oregon, Buck is seen sitting and eating on a bed.
