LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3) – C.J., the chimpanzee who twice escaped from her Las Vegas cage in a residential neighborhood, arrived this afternoon at her new home in Bend, Ore.

C.J is one of two chimps that escaped July 12 from their cage. Her companion, Buddy, was shot and killed by a Metro officer, and C.J. was tranquilized and captured.

When the chimp escaped a second time recently from her enclosure at a home near Jones and Ann Road, her departure to the Chimps Incorporated sanctuary was accelerated.

Here we go again...people trying to keep exoctic pets in cages in the desert!! Are you all nuts??? First of all, they are WILD ANIMALS at heart, so you never know when they're going to go "balistic" and kill someone, once they escape their cages; (remebering the women who had her face eaten off, and her hands from a friend's chimp companion). The ONLY place for these animals is a zoo, sancutary, or best yet, left in the wild, where they can still roam free.
