The owner of the chimpanzee that viciously attacked a local woman, leaving her permanently scarred, won't face any charges CBS 2 has learned, a development that comes as surprising development to some.

Did Oprah Go Too Far in revealing Chimp victim's face?

Oprah is a genius in the art of the interview, and that comes from having a sense of compassion that can't be contrived. Even with all her accomplishments, her segment with Nash may go down as one of her finest moments. But was it really necessary to show this woman's face? Did the veil need to be lifted? Now Nash must face the ramifications of knowing that images of her will reach every corner of the Internet.

The physiology behind Chimps super strength

February's brutal chimpanzee attack, during which a pet chimp inflicted devastating injuries on a Connecticut woman, was a stark reminder that chimps are much stronger than humans—as much as four-times stronger, some researchers believe.

Congress passes high priority anti chimp law

Sometimes, I admit, I go too far in making fun of members of Congress.
