A human will never be able to substitute another chimpanzee as a partner. When Travis went out, he used diapers and a thick chain around his hip, in order for him to be, in theory, controlled.Ĭhimpanzees are social beings, who live in big communities and enjoy very much the interaction among the individuals. The vision Travis had of the world was based on the few opportunities he had to go out in a car, when he was younger and before his runaway from Stamford centre in 2003, which did not have any bad consequences as long as he only wanted to play. There were moments that Travis had the option to walk through the house and share his life with his owner. Travis was a young chimpanzee (chimpanzee live as long as humans), fat, did not practice any exercise, although his body needed this kind of physical activity, and had a face of an old chimpanzee. Sandra and Travis lived in a small property in the suburb of Stamford, state of Connecticut, where a bedroom-prison had been built to keep him controlled. Travis was the substitute of her dead daughter. Sandra became a widow a few years ago and lost her daughter in a car accident. When he was a child he worked for TV commercials and had been bought by Sandra Herold from a commercial breeder in the United States. SCENERY: Travis was a 13-year old chimpanzee. There, a 13-year old chimpanzee almost killed a friend of Sandra, Charla Nash, who was helping to put the chimpanzee Travis back to his prison. After watching the images broadcasted by North American TV, the audio of the desperate request made by Sandra Herold to the local police and the several declarations of supposed specialists in chimpanzees, we found ourselves obliged to try to explain to the general public and come to conclusions about what happened in that house in the suburb of Stamford.
