Story on Yahoo.

Yesterday's story on this also said that the man's testicles had also been torn off.

Repeatedly, we are reminded not to mess with wild creatures (Sigfried & Roy), but we never learn.

This story has turned up in multiple places. Gruesome.

Yesterday's story on this also said that the man's testicles had also been torn off.

Nothing I've read so far has specified the technical details of whether they were ... torn off or ... bitten off. They just said "severed". Just like the guy's foot.

*shudder*

I think I'm going to go for a walk.

Are the details of testicular removal really of importance? The guy just about had his face ripped off by some apes.

I imagine they were to him. At least at the time.

Poor chimps. Who cares about the owner?

I don't. Not one bit.

I have no sympathy for the guy who got chewed up. From the sounds of it, he was there as an extension of his claim that wild animals make perfectly safe pets and society is wrong to tell him otherwise. Maybe he didn't expect the same message to come from a chimp.

I think they have been able to reattach his nose.

Poor chimps.

I wouldn't call them poor any more... just dead.
