Sad news: LA Zoo's baby chimp is killed by adult male chimp


Drag. We were telling some friends about the chimp fight we saw, and they mentioned this piece of depressing news. You can see the three-month-old chimp clinging to her mom in this so-so picture I took. That was on Saturday, the day I half-joked about how glad I was Zack didn't see some chimp blood. Just three days later, zoo visitors did witness something awful, as the baby was suddenly grabbed from her mom's arms and, in the words of one witness, "thrown around." Ugh.

Sorry to bring you down, folks! I felt this piece of the story deserved some ink.
