Monday Monkey News-Chimp Shot Dead

Hi Everybody. Sad news today as it has been reported that Travis, a chimpanzee who has starred in commercials on TV has been killed after attacking some people - including police officers in Connecticut.

This is a sad days for chimpanzees and monkeys - and is a step backwards for getting more respect and help for the monkeys.

Details are still waiting to be discovered as to what caused Travis to go bananas. Hopefully they will investigate.
