Chimpanzee attack victim St. James Davis (update)

(For background and more detail, see previous entry, Mar. 8). Davis has had surgery to reattach his nose and lips, a tracheotomy, and more facial surgery Monday, while he fights off a lung infection. The Davises’ attorney, Gloria Allred, says “the family had not ruled out legal action against the sanctuary’s owners.” Mrs. Davis also implied that there would be further negotiation or litigation to have their pet chimpanzee, Moe (not involved in this attack, though he’s bitten others) returned to live with them in their California suburb.
