[@haileylacrosse7698]

I think Travis losing Jerry did a lot to him, he didn't get the chance to Grieve because he had to take care of Sandra so when her friend took her away for that weekend he probably thought he was going to lose her too its just a sad story, she should never have taken that chimp from his birth mom

@@haileylacrosse7698 lol! Don’t you love how she actually REPLYS?!? This woman is out here doing the MOST for us little followers. Last week she acknowledged my existence and I felt like a whole ass Queen. Ps. I 100% agree with the statement you made about Travis not being able to grieve. Something that should be added to this is: we as humans at the end of the day realize that animals ARE animals. Even though they may live life like humans...they still have that lil wild ass spirit in them. Some of our animals may be a little more “human like” than others but at the end of the day they still have primal animalistic instincts and tendencies.

[@NoseyNuNu]

[@MaybellineQueen]

Agreed, chimps are primates/mammals just like humans are but ppl just think they can own everything on this planet. I personally own/hoard ants in my flowerbed and tree rats (squirrbos) that torment my dogs by throwing walnuts at them all day. But irl I understand the concept of humans never will be able to own the things that mother nature does, apparently 50K erases the human mind of all abilities to think rationally. It's so sad and I wonder how many times this has happened. There is a man that lives about 10 minutes from me and technically in another town but he has about a dozen big cats. The only teason i know that is bc i worked at the vets office that dealt w them in secret. They knock out the cats and sneak them in and out of the back so no one sees. I know several ppl in that area and they had no idea that the loner down the street with the high fenced in property is home to more big cats than the okc zoo.

[@valerierios7528]

I remember when this happened. That woman adopted a wild animal without knowing anything about its needs. She had absolutely no idea what she was doing. She learned as she went along - she learned from Encyclopedia Britinnica. She had no business snatching a baby, and the conservator had no business had to business selling the baby. And Travis's attack...Xanax is not meant for chimps. No idea if S got the dosage right. He may have been hallucinating. Maybe Elmo looked 12 feet tall and was attacking and Travis thought he was defending himself. No way to tell. I feel so sorry for S for her losses. It is a terrible thing to lose your family. But she wanted a baby to play with. She should've just opened her home to foster children.

[@gabbanator]

I dont even think foster children would have been a good idea for Sandra. She didn't cope well with loss of any kind. She needed therapy to learn safe coping skills.

[@YanikesWorld]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the Xanax. Because he never really showed any signs of aggressions until that moment. Plus it I don’t think he was jealous because she had been living with them for a while by that point. I really think it has something to do with the Xanax, but who knows.

[@smarti1144]

That Xanax... Like we really have no idea how it would affect a chimpanzee. Tragedy. Grief is a hell of a thing. Looking back without the grief I don't know why they didn't take Travis for day visits at a sanctuary regularly.

[@bloodymaria2949]

I completely agree. The Xanax definitely could have played a part in the attack. Then on the other hand Travis could have decided today was time to be a real chimp.

Dogs are wise and beautiful and we so don't deserve them. When I was having a miscarriage, my Golden Retriever would NOT get off the bed with me. He was not allowed on our bed. But this boy just KNEW I was mourning and in pain. He was just there, he'd look up at me, snuggle with me, and he didn't leave my side for two days. And then only to eat and use the bathroom.

And I honestly feel like she shouldn’t have gave him what she gave him in the drink because that is likely what caused the escalation of his behaviors.

“Meanwhile, back at the ranch,”.... I think that Travis knew that Jerome was terminally ill & that’s why he couldn’t look at him. I think he was traumatized by losing a person who had helped to raise him. At a basic level, Travis was a wild animal treated like a human. No matter what he was taught or who raised him, I feel he always was capable of violence. Something set him off that day, like jealousy over Sandra as you mentioned, and he completely lost the control everyone thought he possessed.

I agree, I don’t come for the makeup so I popped in my AirPod and walked away.... I had to come back to the phone and look in her eyes like “WTH This is wild” I’m here for it!!

[@lindseycota6661]

As an animal lover, this story broke my heart but your story and bloopers at the end had me cracking up. I’m glad you’re ok....your storytelling had me on the floor. Thanks for the relief at the end.

[@tobeapearl]

No other person I have watched has gone into so much of the back story to Travis. My heart is broken for Travis and Susie. Moral of the story, don’t rip a baby a chimpanzee from his mother you horrible humans.

[@gritsnwavy3059]

Blu for the win. He stayed with you doing overtime and stuck it out until your mom showed up for the shift change. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@EricaSoLovely]

I have heard and seen this story told but this had me thoroughly entertained

[@90papaya]

"Jerry had a routine and did chores..." Aw that's cute... "He also drove the car...he was willful and possessive and jealous" Um... She would playfully call him "Son if a bitch" UM

[@Weirdkauz]

Still they did not regard him as a person, but as property.

[@sharyebethancourt3660]

S A M E‼️🤦🏾‍♀️

[@Poorsap]

I’ve listened to the 911 call and googled a pic of the friend (Sharla?), it’s crazy how she survived. I’ve never heard the whole story. Thank you researching. I’m hooked on this channel!!

[@Beautymarie93]

Ahhh shit Connecticut 😳 if you get a chance look up my aunts story ROSA DELGADO/ROSITA CAMACHO murder story. Happened to our family in the 90s. I’ve always wanted someone to cover it here on KZbin as my cousin is still missing still.

[@ms.kittycait]

I hope she sees this 🙏

[@Redd07]

Same

[@kierralatrice1379]

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@rebeccalambert15]

Dark Curiosities covered their story I believe last year?

[@Weirdkauz]

My deepest condolences! Hope your cousin is found soon!

[@solerevyval4788]

I remember this story, but knew none of these details. Thank you so much for this story. Then the fainting story was just the icing on the cake. Then the bloopers!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think this is my favorite video so far!!

[@stephanie6956]

idk if i commented this before but i would watch you when you had a few thousand followers and now you have over 100k???? sooo happy for you

[@1988MaryJane]

Mama deserves at least ten times more

[@anjulirivera9332]

I agree with you, “exotic” animals aren’t meant for a domesticated life and it’s not fair to want to confine them to that. I do think Travis and Sandra were very co-dependent of each other, especially that he was taken from his mother at 3 days old. I think he was upset that she had left him for her weekend getaway. He was doing what came natural to him. It was a sad story all around.

[@jasminegilgosch269]

What I love the most about Brittney is I could have heard a story before- like this one but the way she tells them differently and there's always details added in that I never heard the first go around. Not to knock other faves but Brittney always adds a little extra to help the story more and we love you for that ❤

[@BrittneyVaughn]

Thank you 💕

[@Weirdkauz]

She is a truly gifted story teller! Like, her ancestress way back probably had the whole village breathless around the campfire…

[@sukimawson8880]

I just held my dog and cried during this story.

[@shawndrikapeters5543]

I honestly think it was the Xanax that caused him to act out like that. There are people everywhere that have a negative reaction to Xanax so imagine the affects it has on a animal.

[@brokensmile81]

I agree. No one else is talking about that. I think it was a huge part of it

[@presentpalace5722]

Hey I actually forgot that Part. Why didn't anyone think of this?? Did she give Xanax to him before? All of this could have been an allergic reaction?????

[@marleejade4852]

Half way through and this has got me in my feelings so sad

[@mbalixhakaza537]

Wow, I've never been early enough to the point where I even watch the premiere due to the different time zones (I'm in South Africa). Although the conversation is due to unfortunate circumstances, I am just delighted to see Brittney 😭❤🙌😂💃.

[@MinkyMothabela]

Girl same!! The South Africans are here 🇿🇦😂

[@acuriouself]

We love to see it 🇿🇦

[@ryleighfoster1612]

LMFAO STOP

[@JeweL-DekAva]

I can’t see it! What is it?!

[@66belladonna]

So many Brittney vids this week 🥰 why don’t you have more followers? On a side note... I’m a white Australian and I’ve started calling everyone “girl”. Brittney darling, I’m hooked! This vid was actually easy listening, totally enjoyed the “something different”

[@caecolvin]

Brittney: can’t find younger photos for the video’s subject. Also Brittney: We’re going to play emoji Pictionary today, ya’ll.

[@sharyebethancourt3660]

😂🤣😭😭

[@B-Lynn44]

The way he was he raised made him react that way he is an animal who didn’t know what to do with the emotions he was feeling and he snapped

[@alaynalarson9864]

Just smoked, made ramen, got a bag of takis and water. And Brit posts amen 🙏 this is the life. God is good❤️

[@hollyhannaford2559]

You gotta love & appreciate mamas! ❤ No one else in this world will ever love, help, protect, understand, forgive or worry about you than her! 🥰 I have been watching you for about a yr now and I found you bc I watch Bailey Sarian and MrBallen and one of your videos popped up oneday. You are a beautiful woman 😍 and I love the fact you sound like me. I also have a southern accent (or so I've been told by my in-laws 😂). Listening to you is just like hanging out and gossiping with my girlfriends. 💯 Love your videos so keep up the awesome work! 💋🏆👝👑💄🙏💜🌻💣🦋❤🌟🎉

[@belizaydn9949]

This is the only true crime case that has ever made me scared and gave me chills, my heart goes out to her

[@Kk.Nyx.]

The Demi Lovato Clip!! COME THROUGH QUEEN!

[@90papaya]

"As he looks into her eyes...wondering where his Momma was." 😭😭😭 just let the babies stay with their Mommas

[@lisalamb5448]

I loved the extra about Blu. What a gentleman he is! 🥰

[@sherryernst9901]

Ontop of him losing Jerry and not being able to process it she drugged him and I know people who have taken zanax and lost it and did things they would never have done and not remember it. She should NEVER have drugged him.

[@holly2554]

I fully believe that the xanax was the whole reason for the attack. As a person who was formerly addicted to it, I lashed out many times, feeling completely out of control with no sense of a way to process the anger outside of verbal and/or physical aggression. It's the reason I got help. Do not give animals your medications period!!

[@Weirdkauz]

Absolutely!!!

[@breannaduran8159]

I’ve loved the true crime community on KZbin for YEARS and i just recently found your channel and... I LOVE YOU GIRL ! honestly even more than a lot of big names on this platform! You are awesome 💗

[@BrittneyVaughn]

Thank you 💕

[@peacedove1182]

This is a public service announcement: show species-specific love. Case in point, turning a monkey into a human and showing him human centric love, will leave the animal confused and not equipped to handle. Show species specific love.

[@babybluecheeks]

I love when Brittney goes and tells us stories about things that happen in her life, she always have me crying laughing!.

[@fawn4968]

Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are officially my most looked forward to days of the week! Brittney makes my week so much better!

[@TheNaomiChristina]

I think Travis didn’t want to run the risk of his “mom” leaving again. It’s unfortunate that people don’t understand that animals, no matter how domesticated, are not going to react the way humans will, EVER.

[@s.matai2c155]

I've heard this story before but never in your version which was the most preferred as you've already been told from all of us! However, not only your narration was on point BUT that final commentary from the perspective of the animal itself exposing our selfishness as humans got me feeling all kinds of ways about it. You are absolutely right in your assessment of the fact that taking on a primate animal as such from its natural habitat and spending all kinds of coins to try to make them humans is in essence boxing them and caging them away from its kind. And this supposedly act of kindness is in essence a true demonstration of our selfishness as humans in trying to manipulate the animal's environment for our own entertainment and our self-loathing purposes! And YES! Animals we have close relationships with as our personal pets do have an innate 6th sense within themselves to be able to anticipate human emotions. Therefore, they do sense when we feel happy or sad, stressed or relaxed. Afterall, just as we, as humans, were created by God with our individual Spirits, our animals were also created by the same loving God with their own animal Spirits. Hence, we should never mistreat animals, likewise ourselves and each other.

[@203andme]

I’m from CT and this is still talked about a lot- was surprised to see it here! ❤

[@karrieweldon3682]

I’ve been binge watching all your videos and just super glad to be here with all the other girls watching... and guys too!! lol

[@loribarefoot9310]

OMG Brittney, every time I say "meanwhile" too I want to follow it with "back at the ranch." I've never heard anyone else say they do that so this is hilarious to me! Also, you tell the stories like no other. I just love how you do it.
