The other one took two rounds of .223 before it went down.
He must have been hunting HM's Texas lease. HM has all sorts of exotic game running around down there!
They lived on a ranch that had a lot of different things. Monkeys,zebras, giraffes. Basically a zoo but personally owned. Not just anyone can go in there. Two of the chimpanzees escaped one day and were running amuck. One tried to break through the front door where my cousin and their new born baby were at. He got home as quickly as possible and the first one charged him. That's the one he shot with the Glock. The second one he shot was walking out of the place they doctor the other animals. He could hear it throwing glass bottles and stuff around in there. One of the chimpanzees belonged to Micheal Jackson at one point. No wonder it was so aggressive.LOL
Chimps are known to be aggressive with a lot of reported attacks here and abroad. They'll literally rip your genitals and face off and eat your fingers. Lots of documentation and some video on attacks like this. Glad he got home before they got into the house.
Oh they're mean as heck. I don't know if it's true but they said one chimpanzee has the strength of 7 men. I remember going out there and seeing them when they were alive. The male would shake the bars on his cage and spit loogies at you. He wasn't friendly.
My cousins ex-husband said when he shot him with that .357 Sig he looked down at the bullet hole and let out a scream that he'll never forget. It wasn't a scream like he was scared. He wanted to kill somethin.
He'd never shot anything before up until that point. It bothered him. He said to him it was about like having to shoot a human he figured. To him it was like that.
