thedailygreen.com — The vast majority of animal attacks are provoked by human beings, normally because of foolish or aggressive actions. Sometimes animals attack out of illness (rabies, distemper, Lyme disease, etc, which may explain Travis, pending an autopsy), to protect young or desperation.

Do not f**k with primates, ever. FTA: "Davis was bowled over, had an eye gouged out, lost several fingers, and had his nose, lips and even teeth chewed off. One of the primates sunk his teeth into his skull while another bit his genitals off. Even a .45 couldn't stop the attack... until it was fired at very close range. Today Davis is severely disfigured and confined to a wheelchair."mother of god...

Most of the attacks listed on the page involved children. While I believe wild animals don't belong as pets. If treated well, and the owner acknowledges the risks..... BUT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES NOT IF YOU HAVE KIDS. As unpredictable as some of the exotic pets are, would you want your little child who is just as unpredictable and doesn't quite grasp the dangers to be near something like that?
