I have been working on a paper for about 3 days now in regards to all aspects of this. However, I get a few sentences in, my eyes start to tear and I break out in a full blown balling attack.<br><br>This entire subject is so close to home for me, being that I still have not gotten over the loss of my chimps, which was a decision I made. 99% of the public, unfortunately does not understand the relationship between a human and a Chimpanzee, unless they have actually had one. I could actually write a book on this subject alone with my feelings, the education I have received through the years, and my experiences.<br><br>Regardless of what anyone says or believes there will always be ones to disagree. The ones that disagree, and can not sympathize for Sandy are the ones with no personal knowledge or experience of such a relationship. From Pet owners to Scientists, all make bonds with the Chimps in their care and when parted they feel sorrow, and emptiness. There is no other individual on this earth that is greater then the Chimpanzees, and in my opinion much better then most people.<br><br>I also had a girlfriend of many years that helped me and loved the monkeys in my care and was there from the beginning when I got Mikey and then Louie. On occasions Mikey would act out towards her and I would tell her to stay away from him at that particular moment. She refused to, always making an excuse for Mikey's actions. She loved him as I did, had no fear of him because she, like most of us that have a relationship with a chimp, never think that our sweet chimps would ever hurt anyone. The older Mikey became the more worried I got with him around my friend. He is a male, was just going into puberty and trying to find his place with everyone. He challenged her quit often, though she never stopped her relationship with him. She scared me more then he did with her refusal of the fact that he was trying to dominate her. I suppose what I am trying to say is that my girlfriend also had the "Chimp Fever", which is what I call it. She had to be around them, to interact with them or she felt as though her life wasn't complete. There are just some of us that have this fever where we can't get them out of our blood, which is a good thing in many ways, because if there weren't people like this, there would be no sanctuaries, no huge donations, no volunteers,and the world for Chimpanzees would be awful.<br><br>As far as Charla is concerned my heart goes out to her also. I do wish though that these legal procedures would wait until she is of sound mind. I think that these are decisions that Charla should be making not her brothers. I understand that they need to obtain finances for medical bills, but to have Sandy charged, everything taken away from her and possibly go to jail at the age of 70 years old for something she did not to, should be something that Sandy and Charla could try to work out themselves.<br><br>I know that if my girlfriend had gotten hurt by Mikey she would not have blamed me or Mikey, she wold have blamed herself. Why? because she chose to be with him knowing how strong he was and what he was capable of doing. By her being around him and loving him she took the same risk that I took everyday. I have thought about the fact that if I had called her in a pinch would she have come to help me? Yes I can say she would have,most definitely, without a question, without any hesitation and she only lived a few miles away.anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815438973141374410.post-67684812042329739742009-05-23T06:32:33.432-08:002009-05-23T06:32:33.432-08:00Sandra Herold is not a criminal.
