A year ago it was a crazed chimpanzee being shot by police in CT. when the animal got into his police car after ripping a woman's face off, and more.

Today it was one in Las Vegas. Heard up to 170 lbs!

As this is clearly a new trend, like cannibal zombies on bath-salts, what is the best defense against chimps!?


(CNN) -- Las Vegas Metro Police received an unusual call Thursday morning -- two chimpanzees were loose and attacking cars in the northwest part of the city.

Police were forced to fatally shoot one chimp that aggressively approached officers and bystanders, said Officer Laura Meltzer.

The second animal was tranquilized and secured by animal control officers, she said.

The chimps escaped from a home in the area where they were subdued, said Bill Cassell, a spokesman for Las Vegas Metro Police.

An investigation is ongoing as to whether the resident had a license to keep the chimps, Cassell said.


Ooo, ooo, ooo...

I blame that movie, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for this.

LOL


I'd like a rifle please, if confronted with an angry ape stronger than 4 or 5 men. Preferably in a caliber beginning with a 3.
 
A long time ago I read a book about an early researcher on baboon behavior. He said he would never go out in the field and live with baboons without taking a 9mm pistol with him, because of the occasional severe aggressiveness of the baboon. He survived and became a successful author, so I guess 9 mm is adequate.
