‘Do A Head Shot!’: Bodycam Shows Man asking police to Lill Pet Chimpanzee
Chimps go after what make you “human”
eyes ears nose and genitals
Why the help are they keeping a chimpanzee? These animals are incredibly powerful and the older they get the more unpredictable they get. Idiots. Should have shot the owners.
Joe Rogan brought me here
I hope charges are filed against the owners. People shouldn’t be keeping these animals as pets.
The cop just said “ok” and 360° no scoped that monkey
Chimp belongs in the jungle. Not in a cage on a humans property
Good way to end a 15 year friendship… he probably had good reason to be angry… guess they didn’t plan he would grow up and be strong… probably the first time the creature stood up for himself then gets headshot
whath is it with these animals they are your buddy and act like the most nice animal ever but at some point in time they become violent and rip you to shreds
i dont know why this happens jsut why
Horrifying. The owners of these ‘exotic’ animals need to be put down too.
People are so stupid. Go work at at a zoo if you want to get your thrill.
People who keep these animals deserve to be killed by them.
Unfortunately it is usually someone else who gets attacked.
very unfortunate indeed
Careless parents
A 200-pound chimp. What could go wrong?
I woulda kicked that thing like a field goal
Should shoot the foolish woman for keeping an animal locked up in the first place her own fault not the animals
The cop handled that in a very calm and professional way. Well done!
A lot of times they try to rip off a males sexual organs. They are smart as they are brutal.
U cannot keep a pan trog
As a pet
You didn’t know what You were getting in to.
Now look what that has caused
Tranquilizer why tf would you own a 200 pound chimp smh
When will people learn not to have a chimp as a pet….especially a male!! These animals are cruel even to each other, let alone another species.
Never cage such a animal, especially in a cage that small. They aren’t too far from us, so they are as mad as you would be if you got locked in a cage the size of a cargo container. Also they are aggressive by nature, even looking or smiling at them will aggravate them. Orangutans are more friendly and human-like but still. Wild is wild.
This women sounds mental
We don’t bite our friends.
Homicides account for an estimated 431,000 human deaths a year, making us by far the deadliest mammals. And we share 99% of chimpanzee DNA. So, yeah… Scary monkey
Props to the mom despite a 17 year relationship with her pet she knew it had to be taken out to save her daughter.
Yeah, I’m glad she at least had her priorities straight at that point
Silly 😜 you shouldn’t own one if you leave the Lock undone,
Yes head shot the owner.
Stupid people and an innocent animal.
BOOM HEADSHOT, BOOM HEADSHOT, BOOM HEADSHOT!!!!!!!!!
Serves him right🧓
“you’re going to need to do a headshot.”
“Okay, ma’am he’s down”
“Good, now stand over him and crouch repeatedly”
Wait what?
one shot
that poor guy, and chimp. had to shoot the wrong one…
Poor Veronica.
First they took harambe, now this poor chimp
Why couldn’t they tranquilize him?
Do you know what that monkey could do to them
I worked in West Covina and this man owned one used to bring it to the store with him in the end that chimp mutilated him bad
Wow…..you think you can domesticate a chimpanzee and love it and care for it and keep it away from its natural habitat and keep him caged up only to one day having to plead with police to shoot it in the head because it bite your family member.this is the unfortunate thing we see from owning a pet monkey that one day they will attack you and people go and do it anyways
“do a 360 no scope Sheriff”
Maybe the chimp has some health issue. I have heard of elephant getting violent towards their keeper when they are in serious health issues. One such being cancer which go unnoticed.
the only thing that’s exotic about this, is how you get your loved ones killed.
idc what y’all say ending pics cute buck had a good life
Another unarmed black man killed
that wasn’t as funny as you thought it was sir
I would trust wolves more than a primate.
People need to understand that animals are not here for our entertainment. Absolutely ridiculously that they keep him in a cage and are shocked when it acts like that.
Only…
R.I.P to the Chimpanzee, aim for the owners next time.
Shock the monkey tonight. Blow that chimps head off!!
Stupid lady shouldn’t have had one in a cage in the first place
Send more than one because if the ape gets the drop on him hes gone too im ded lolololo
To be fair, he bit her AFTER she stole his snack pack.
How stupid do you have to be to own something like that. Darwin wards right there
With a name like Buck, you know what she had him for.
From her tone she seemed like she’s been waiting for this day to come. Very odd to me.
yeah like 85% of that quote didn’t make the title huh?
I felt bad it had to go that way but dam a 200lb chimp going nuts? I’m sorry I gotta do what anyone is gonna do!
I shouldn’t have clicked this
Clean aim
Has Joe Rogan weighed in on this yet?
Props to that officer
Good. Maybe a few more people will get eaten before these idiots stop trying to cage up wild animals. They got what they deserved
I’m not a NBC News viewer. I just came here to see a cop smoke a chimp.
Everything’s cool with the wild-animal pet until the moment it draws blood from a close relative, especially a child… Then it’s “retire-by-gunshot” time
Hmm, seems like this isn’t a pet, this is a confined wild animal.
The chimp should of just torn them up they don’t deserve to live locking up a creature like that for what??? Would they like to be locked up for 17 years no right?
😳 I’ll never look at Curious George the same way again. 🐒
Chimps don’t give an eff. It would have been safer to have a gorilla or lion
Każdy kto ma zwierzę i małe dziecko wie że małe dziecko nie widzi granicy między sprawianiem bólu a zabawa. Winien jak zwykle człowiek.
Ugh..poor chimp. Ruthless brutal and primitive animals they for sure eat the hand that feed them, why anyone would want such a animal as pet baffles me.
It always saddens me to see a animal life taken, hopefully buck went out fast and the owner and her daughter are okay
Head shot is what you want if you have to shoot your pet. Its quicker, you don’t get the horror of a non fatal shot, only to have to try again while your pet is wailing and confused.
My dad had to put down two very old, cancer ridden dogs once, with a gun (lived on an island, no vets, only way to do it quickly was by gun). He says he will always regret not having another person there to shoot both at once. The second dog was in the crate too and Dad thought the few seconds difference wouldn’t matter- but she freaked at the noise and the blood- she knew what was coming. Her final seconds were of betrayal and terror. 30 years later my Dad is still haunted by the guilt
Sad as it is you do have to admit that that was nice clean shot.
Do a headshot on the owner for choosing to buy a chimp. Fkn muppets
RIP. She only wanted that chimp dead because it hurt her & she was upset. Why not call Animal Control?
This animal died because the people are selfish idiots.
Should have done a head shot on the people
It’s sad because that chimp isn’t meant to be kept as a pet it’s meant to live in nature and be free. So when the chimp attacks or comes aggressive they shoot it. It’s like setting the chimp up to fail and trying to tain and dominate it
this dude actually said shoot him in the head, with the way the average police officer shoots you will be lucky he even hits his target
😮
Great shot
why doesn’t anyone take the Travis the Chimpanzee story seriously????
poor Cheetah .
People don’t learn, so many other pets people can own. People are stupid.
“360 no scope it”
Super chilling to hear the owner herself say “ if that ape gets the drop on him he’s gone to”😢
His name is Buck…
RIP the homie
“This is what you get for keeping an exotic pet!” You can HAVE and take CARE of an exotic pet, but chimps are especially notorious for being brutal, smart, and extremely strong. There’s a difference between a fox and a chimp, you’d rather have the fox.
I can’t get over how she just accepted that the chimp was gonna have to be shot, no problem. And the fact that some cop really got assigned the task of wasting an angry chimp
💯 the owners fault.. should have never had it in the first place. RIP chimp
Ok now shoot the owner
Chimps should have human rights. A chimp that grows up as a baby in a family thinks he is human. When he is treated differently as the other kids he feels that. And understands that. It builds up until he snaps like a human would do. Who’s fault is it if he snaps? It’s all logical. They aren’t pets their DNA is so close to ours. It’s just silly to look at them as you look at dogs cats or parrots.
And most of the time it’s MALE chimpanzees who attack. In case you were interested.
Chimpanzee’s are very emotional animals (same as humans, alot of our immidiate thinking stems from emotions) therefor are very sporadic in behavior. Unpredictable is the word i was looking for. Hope the girl is okey. And please be VERY proffesional if you are gonna house exotic animals, know your stuff 🙁
Bruh a 200lb male chimp, could simply dismember you.
Terrifying leave this animals in the wild.
If you think a chimp can be a pet than you are far too ignorant to even have children.
Bloody idiots that own exotic animals
Joe Rogan brought me here
It’s too bad that any other option could have been used and the chimp relocated to a zoo or similar.
the cop said…… ok,
another use to the phrase “you get what you pay for
