Police have released a tape of the chilling emergency phone call made by a woman as her crazed chimpanzee went berserk and viciously attacked her friend.
Hysterical with fear and grief, Sandra Herold pleaded with an officer over the phone to help her stop the animal from mauling her friend, begging them to 'Hurry, please! He ripped her face off.'
With the chimp, Travis, grunting and screaming loudly in the background, Herold screams down the phone: 'He's killing my girlfriend!'
When the switchboard operator asks 'Who's killing your friend?' Herold replies: 'My chimpanzee! He ripped her apart! Shoot him, shoot him!'
The 70-year-old, told today how she was forced to repeatedly stab her beloved pet in order to stop him attacking 55-year-old Charla Nash at her home in Stamford, Connecticut.
Describing him as 'my son', Mrs Herold fought back tears as she said: 'He looked at me like, "What did you do?"
'It was horrific what happened and I had to do what I had to do, but still, I'll miss him for the rest of my life.'
Mrs Herold said she first used a shovel to try and stop the 14-stone chimp as he attacked Mrs Nash's face.
When that failed she grabbed a kitchen knife and repeatedly plunged it into the wild ape.
She added: 'He was too strong. He was killing my girlfriend.'
Travis, who starred in TV commercials, was eventually shot several times after attacking two police officers. He crawled back to his cage to die.
Mrs Nash was so badly disfigured that a police officer could not tell that she was a woman, and radios back: 'There's a man down. He doesn't look good.
'We got to get him out of here. He's got no face.'
Mrs Nash was fighting for her life in hospital after suffering horrific facial injuries. She also had most of her fingers bitten off after arriving to visit Mrs Herold.
dayam, did he ever make a monkey out of her :monkee:
the monkey in question:
Travis was potty trained and able to dress himself and often drank from a long stemmed glass.
Mrs Herold, who was widowed five years ago, said the chimp liked to eat fillet steak and lobster tails.
Herold, who had raised Travis from birth, later told U.S. TV that she has no regrets about keeping the chimp in captivity.
'He couldn't have been more like my son if I'd given birth to him,' she said.
except he was prone to RIPPING PEOPLE'S FACES OFF like only a good son can
