Chimpanzee Danger

Many people have a fascination with exotic animals.  According to the NY Times Around 3:40, on February 17, Charla Nash was attacked by her friends 200 pound chimp.  Travis (the chimpanzee) was considered tame, and not dangerous.  If his owner had registered the chimp, travis would have been fully legal in the state of Connecticut.  I do not believe that people should be able to keep exotic animals as pets within their homes.  Exotic animals should be with their own kind.  It is sad, and unfortunate when an animal is orphaned or hurt, but it is not an individuals job to house it in their residence.  People should let zoos, and animal sanctuaries take care of these exotic animals.  Although monkeys are tame, they are still wild animals and people do not realize the power of these beasts.  If an individual is fascinated and curious by these animals they should go to the zoo to observe them, not keep them within a residence.
