A recording of a woman calling emergency services after her pet chimp attacked her friend has been released.

The 200lb (90kg) ape, who had appeared on TV commercials, attacked the woman as she got out of her car to visit its owner in Stamford, Connecticut.

Stamford Police captain Richard Conklin told reporters the victim sustained "a very lengthy, brutal attack" and is critically ill in hospital. The chimp was eventually shot dead by a police officer.

This is why it should be illegal to own exotic pets that the owner can't realistically control.

Chimps are reputed to be something in the range of 5 to 6 times stronger than a human being - and can do some quite appalling damage to a person as evidenced by this case, and the one in CA a few years ago. They can literally rip people limb from limb.
