MODERATORS
The wiki article seems to list three possible causes for the attack:
Travis was on medication for Lyme disease and was also given tea laced with Xanax before the attack. (Apparently the Xanax was prescribed by a Vet... though no source is listed for that exact claim, it showed up in the autopsy and may have been administered regularly?)
The woman who was attacked had a different haircut and car than Travis last saw her with, and this may have confused/enraged Travis.
A Tickle Me Elmo toy (Travis' favorite toy) being presented by the victim sent Travis into a rage.
...
In conclusion, chimpanzees should never be pets, and you especially should not give them benzos.
My takeaway was that having a chimpanzee as a pet is fine and so is giving them benzos but what you should really avoid doing is giving them a Tickle Me Elmo doll.
Or ever have a different car or haircut upon subsequent visits
Same haircut, same car, bring benzos. Got it
