They're locked up as no one can go near them without endangering themselves. Chimpanzees are often neglected as well. They are social and extremely intelligent.
I 100% agree with this. No one needs to have a pet chimp in their back yard or in their home. Their much too difficult to care for, plus they are so strong & smart they don't belong in someone's home in a cage they belong in the wild with their family. I remember a story where a man had a full grown tiger in his apartment in New York City and ended up getting eaten by it because he wasn't feeding it enough. Seriously people should be able to just buy a chimp or any kind of big cat just because they want one. Because in the end the animal always ends up getting killed for being a wild animal. It's completely pointless. I read in a National Geographic magazine that was talking about exotic animals, that a man had over 50 exotic animals that consisted of lions, tigers, bears, zebras and some other animals. He couldn't take care of them all so one day he let them all go to run around the neighborhood and the authorities came and shoot all the animals dead. It was a horrific picture of corpses lying all over the ground. Maybe banning isn't the best choice since they can go overboard with it but something seriously needs to be done about this. Sorry I'm going on & on but this is something that really upsets me. This is the last thing I'll say, I think it's pretty sad that your blaming that poor woman for getting her face torn to pieces. I don't think it's her fault at all. Her friend should've never had a freaking chimp in the first place. I'm pretty sure she's doing all of this to keep others from having to go through what she did. Okay I'm done now.
