BAKERSFIELD, California (AP) -- A couple's plans for a birthday party
for their former pet chimpanzee turned tragic when two other chimps at
an animal sanctuary escaped from their cage and attacked. The man was
critically injured with massive wounds to his face, body and limbs, and
the attacking animals were shot dead.
Moe was not involved in Thursday's attack, said Steve Martarano, a
spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Game.
The couple had brought Moe a cake and were standing outside his cage
when Buddy and Ollie, two of four chimpanzees in the adjoining cage,
attacked St. James Davis, Martarano said. Officials have not determined
how the chimps got out of their enclosure, he said.
St. James Davis had severe facial injuries and would require extensive
surgery in an attempt to reattach his nose, Dr. Maureen Martin of Kern
Medical Center told KGET-TV of Bakersfield. His testicles and a foot
also were severed, Kern County Sheriff's Cmdr. Hal Chealander told The
Bakersfield Californian.
