Nash lived, she went on oprah, she sued for 10 million. How many people go crazy and kill other people? This is one incident that I don't know what happened. The chimp attacked, ripped off both her hands, nose, gouged her eyes out, ripped her jaw off and bashed her facial structure in, brain was exposed also.During the attack herold stabbed the chimp but fled after it turned it's attention on her. “We can give them a blood transfusion, and they can give us one. She replied: “Would I have done it again? Yes! They're the closest thing to humans - to us. Months after the attack, she bravely appeared on Oprah to show her injuries.Īfter the incident, NBC reporter Jeff Rossen asked Sandra: “After what you've been through with this - your friend is in the hospital fighting for her life - do you still think chimps should be pets?" Travis the Chimp was treated like a son by his owners Sandy and Jerry. He ran back into the house and collapsed dead on his bed.Īfter paramedics arrived on the scene, they believed Charla - slumped in a pool of her own blood with no recognisable features - was dead.Īfter realising she was still breathing, she was rushed into surgery and underwent a 72-hour operation while surgeons attempted to reconstructĬharla now lives in a care home with a new face and will rely on carers to look after her for the rest of her life. not much else we can title this one, really.
He opened one of the police car doors and lunged at an officer.ĭespite being shot four times at point-blank range Travis didn't die straight away. When the police arrived, Travis continued on his rampage.

In a desperate attempt to get the primate off her friend, the then 70-year-old grabbed a shovel and hit him over the head, and even stabbed him in the back.
CHIMPANZEE RIPS FACE OFF OF WOMAN FULL
Sandra, who was the only one to witness the full attack, claimed Travis approached Charla aggressively before getting on his hind legs, throwing her against the side of her car before launching the savage attack. Travis had known Charla - who was 55 at the time - for several years but she had recently changed her hair around the time of the attack and there are claims he had become startled by this and lashed out. However, just six years later they would be proved very wrong when the grown-up chimpanzee attacked Charla. The attack lasted 12 minutes, which must have felt like an eternity.Luckily, he didn't manage to catch the person but it took police several hours to entice him back to his owners and the incident led to a new law being passed in Conneticut - no one could own a primate weighing more than 50lbs.Įven though Travis showed concerning behaviour, he was allowed to stay with his owners after the authorities decided he didn't pose a threat. He gouged her eyes, leaving her without sight for the rest of her life, and tore off her eyelids, nose, jaw, lips and most of her scalp. Nash’s injuries were so serious that an officer presumably couldn’t tell her gender. “Hey listen,” one officer said over the radio, “We’ve got to get this out of here. He’s got no face.” The chimpanzee viciously broke nearly all of Charla bones in her face, removed one of her hands and very nearly all of the other. “It just opened up one of the patrol cars and we had to let a couple go,” an officer said into a radio.Īt that point, Travis went running back through the house. Some officers gave chase while others tended to the victim. Officers remained in their vehicles at first. Herold did the same.īut at some point, Travis the chimp tried to get into a squad car. Then came this over the crackle of the radio: “Person down, chimp outside.” When police arrived, she continued shouting to them to “shoot him!”. “Shoot him,” Herold kept shouting into the phone. “Tell them to shoot him. Tell them to shoot him. Tell them to shoot him.” Nash was not dead, but was severely disfigured. Wednesday, she remained in critical condition at a local hospital. “Bring the guns. You have to kill this chimp.”.Herold is at times frantic, at times sobbing. Travis could be heard squealing in the background.
“They got to shoot him because I tried stabbing him and it didn’t work. They gotta shoot him,” she said. In that graphic 911 call, Herold, the primate’s owner, implored police to shoot the animal as it was attacking her friend, Charla Nash, 55. Herold had asked Nash to come over to help calm the chimp when he started acting up. “He looked at me like, ‘Mom, what did you do?’ I tried to pull him but he was to strong, so I called 911 and told them to get up here as fast as possible.”
