Imagine having a child, at age 12, be strong enough to throw you against a wall. This was the case for the Temerlin's. There daughter though was not a human, but a chimpanzee. The Temerlin's had adopted Lucy from a circus when she was just a baby in 1964. They had kept care of here for many years until she became to strong and agressive. She would push the guest and jump on people. The Termerlins had to get rid of her and moved her to a chimpanzee rehabilitation center in Gambia in 1976. they stayed a while till they left couple months later. By then Lucy was starting to loose hair and not eating. They left but left one of Lucy's sign language teacher to look after her. She stayed with Lucy and even moved to a new island and lived there for a while. Finally Lucy became independent and the Teacher finally left. Two years later she came back and saw Lucy's bones. Lucy had been skinned by poachers left behind the bones. I take away from this story that chimpanzees are like us, but tehy dont know the differences between dangerous humans or friendly humans.
