According to CNN, a couple visiting their estanged chimpanzee, who had been living at an animal sanctuary since biting a woman’s finger off, was attacked by two chimps who escaped from their adjoining cage.
The man lost his nose, a foot, and his testicles before the rampaging animals were shot and killed.
I don’t have a whole lot of commentary except, “Holy crap!” This is sure to be all over the news, but you heard “Holy crap!” here first, unless you uttered it yourself whilst reading.

I heard something about this, but did not know which specific parts of the anatomy were lost. Brutal chimps! They know how to hit where it hurts. Losing ones nose and testicles must really suck. Score one for the caged animals I suppose.
