NBCConnecticut.com-This past week a woman was attacked by a chimpanzee in Stamford Connecticut! Apparently, Charla Nash (victim) went over to visit Travis the chimp and her longtime friend Sandra Herold (the owner), and when approaching Travis, he viciously attacked her. The public had spoken to the media, stating that the attack was quite difficult to understand, since Nash had always visited them and Travis did know her. So what could have possibly caused Travis' reaction? As of now there is no actual answer, but many probabilities. Travis had lime disease that he was being treated for, the medication is thought to have caused this reaction. However, many say the medication had nothing to do with it, it is highly speculated that it was the color of Nash's hair. It seems that Nash had a dark color the previous week, and when she came this time around to greet Travis, she had blond hair. Therefore Travis didn't recognize Nash, and ferociously attacked her. The desperate call to the police by Herold, led to the killing of the chimp; it was the only way to get him off of Nash. Doctors at Stamford Hospital say, that Nash is lucky to be alive, since the attack was BRUTAL to her face leaving her a bit disformed. Her hands and scalp had major injuries, and blood was everywhere which made it hard to see through. Nash and her family were taken by a private jet to Cleveland Clinic, to a medical team that specializes in facial surgeries and plastic surgery.
“It will be several days before we can determine the full extent of her injuries, therefore it will take some time before we can determine what will be the next steps in her care,” one of the doctor's said. (msnbc.com) So i guess we have to wait and see what will actually happen to Nash, but she will recover! Good Luck!!
