WND Poll: When Chimps Go Wild

Question: What did you take away from the attack by the pet chimp on a human?/WorldNetDaily

  • It was a freak event - one you would expect to see in the wild but not from a pet
  • It was a tragic inexplicable event - no one is to blame
  • The 9-1-1 operator did a great job working with a hysterical caller in a highly unusual situation
  • All we can do is pray for the poor woman injured in this unfortunate attack
  • Don't try to make a pet out of a chimpanzee  (More below)
  • People think chimpanzees are like humans but that's a big mistake
  • Giving Xanax to the chimp was foolish - no wonder the animal's owner is changing her story
  • Psychiatric drugs push some humans to violence - it apparently does the same for chimpanzees
  • How does someone keep a 200-pound wild animal in her home for 15 years? Some government agency didn't do its job
  • It's tragic the police didn't immediately shoot the beast
  • Years of brainwashing by animal-rights activists is the reason the cops delayed in shooting the chimp
  • I'm appalled at the performance of the 9-1-1 operator
  • Unexpected events and slow response by police - 2 more good reasons to have a firearm handy
