Chimp That Mauled Woman Had Xanax In System
A chimpanzee that mauled a Connecticut woman had the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in its system, toxicology test results show, but it is unclear whether the chimp took the substance voluntarily or not. The attack points to similar tactics as those purportedly used by the “Old Man of the Mountain” as he sent the first assassins (hashish’ayns) to violently implement his political will. At Alamut, these foot soldiers were famously loyal to their leader, willingly jumping from the ramparts if commanded. If the nature of this attack signifies similar loyalty to the global gibbon government among NHPs it is further evidence that the monkey-menace to homo-erectus (and other life forms) will be more potent than currently imagined.
In another case of missing the point, authorities are still weighing whether to file criminal charges against the chimpanzee’s owner, Sandra Herold, said Stamford State’s Attorney David Cohen.
The 200-pound chimp, named Travis, attacked Stamford resident Charla Nash on Feb. 16. She lost her hands, nose, lips and eyelids in the attack. Doctors at Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic say she is blind and faces two years of surgical procedures.
Nash’s family has sued Herold for $50 million. The suit alleges, among other things, that she had given Travis medication that further upset the animal.
Police say the drug was not prescribed for the animal.
