the mcdonalds case wasn't a frivolous law suit. That coffee really was WAY too hot (hot enough for that woman to receive full thickness burns, those are 3rd degree burns and the worst kind of burns). It was between 180F and 190F.
This lawsuit.. i dont even understand. Why was the chimp not in his cage in the first place? If his owner was responsible he never would have been out of his cage like this.. and coaxing him back in? Yeah, i wanna hang around the business end of a tiger with a raw t-bone in my hand.
People forget about how dangerous large primates are because they "look" cute. If she was afraid of him she never should have been near him.
its another link in the chain of completely preventable attacks by captive undomesticated animals. the OWNERS need to take more responsibility.
