Unexpected Danger

There's apparently something new under the sun in the taxonomy of modern dangers: Chimpanzee attacks.

Woman's life in danger after chimp attack
(CNN) -- A woman has been hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after a pet chimpanzee attacked her at a friend's home in Stamford, Connecticut, police said.

Charla Nash, 55, had just arrived at her friend Sandra Herold's house when the chimp, named Travis, jumped on her and began biting and mauling her, causing serious injuries to her face, neck and hands, according to Stamford Police Capt. Rich Conklin, who said the attack was unprovoked.


Now, we here at MArooned wish the injured parties a speedy and full recovery, and are saddened at the destruction of the animal involved. However, we cannot help but think of the possible marketing tie-ins here:

That is all.

Wild animals are ALWAYS wild animals, regardless of how much some people wish to think they aren't.
Welcome to the jungle.

And you know what will happen if we don't nip this in the bud.
