"When we made eye contact, the charge was on," LaDonna Davis said. "There was no stopping anything, and the big chimp came around from behind me and pushed me into my husband. The male came around from behind and chomped off my thumb. ... My husband must have realized we were in deep trouble because he pushed me backward. At that time, they both went for him."



(I'd swear, she's trying to hide a smirk...)

What the article doesn't mention is that, purportedly, the human couple gave something nice to their ex-pet. The other apes saw this and wanted equal treatment. (However, good species as they are, they didn't attack Moe but the humans. Makes "Planet of the Apes" seem more realistic, oddly...)
