[NSFW] Woman's hands, nose, and lower jaw torn from her body by a chimpanzee that was on Xanax.

Travis (The chimpanzee) was acting “rambunctious” on Monday. He had stolen the keys to her car and gone into the yard. Trying to calm him down, his owner gave the chimp some tea laced with the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She also called her friend, the 55-year-old victim, who knew Travis well, to come over to help calm him down.

So this lady knew the owner, and the chimpanzee - so well that when it was acting up, they called her over.

The victim arrived in an unfamiliar car and emerged with her hair done in a radically different style from what Travis was familiar with. The owner speculates that perhaps the chimp didn’t recognize the victim and viewed her as a threat. There is also speculation that the chimp’s behavior was affected by medication he was taking for Lyme disease.

Meaning immediately when the victim arrived, the chimpanzee begun attacking her.

The brutality of the attack was beyond horrifying. Travis, the chimpanzee that had starred in Old Navy TV ads and lived with his owner more as a son than a pet, was savagely mauling the face of her friend - inflicting grave injuries. In her desperation, the owner had no choice but to stab Travis with a chef’s knife.

So the owner tried to get the chimpanzee off her, got a knife.

And as she plunged the knife repeatedly into the 200-pound animal, “He looked at me like, ‘Mom, what did you do?’ ” Herold told NBC’s Jeff Rossen in an interview that aired exclusively on TODAY Wednesday.

Even stabbing the chimpanzee had no effect - of course the owner was near 70 or so age wise, so this isn't unexpected. So she called 911, where the owner has the misfortune of talking to like.. the worlds worst 911 operator.

911 Call

“Send the police up! With a gun! With a gun! Hurry up!” she shouts.

911 Operator: “Who has a gun?”

Owner: “Please hurry up. He's killing my girlfriend!”

911 Operator: “Who is killing your friend?”

Owner: “My chimpanzee.”

911 Operator: “Oh, your chimpanzee is killing your friend.”

Where finally, after some time - police show up - the chimpanzee runs up and opens the cruiser door, shows bloody fangs at the cop and is shot dead.

Seriously - the level of incompetence here is extraordinary, by all parties - the victim, and the owner. But definitely more so the owner- who has a 200lb chimpanzee as a pet without some way to put it out/down/asleep whatever. And who the hell goes to try and calm down a 200lb chimpanzee without some kind of protection? Then the 911 operator... Like come on.

There's just so much fail here, I don't even know where to begin.

Oh, Source
