Nash, who occasionally fed Travis oatmeal in his cage, said she told Herold that Travis did not have enough room to run around and she should give him up. "You can't control him, and he's going to hurt somebody." "I always told her you have to get rid of him, he's going to hurt somebody someday.

She said she saw him flash his teeth and pound the bars of the cage so violently his hands would bleed. Nash said she saw the chimpanzee throw large objects around his cage, including a desk and 55-gallon (208-litre) plastic drum. In a telephone interview Wednesday night with The Associated Press, Nash said she repeatedly warned Herold that the primate was dangerous and could hurt someone. "I don't want to wake up with nightmares." Nash said she didn't remember anything from the attack and doesn't want to. She remains in stable condition at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. The chimpanzee ripped off Nash's hands, nose, lips and eyelids. 16 attack occurred when the animal's owner, Sandra Herold, asked Nash, her friend and employee, to help lure the animal back into her house in Stamford, Connecticut.
