BEND, Ore. --- Emergency crews were called to an animal shelter in Bend after a chimpanzee attacked a worker there Friday.
Deschutes County officials said a caregiver had left a cage unlocked at the Chimps Inc facility Friday morning, that’s when a 19-year-old female chimp escaped and bit intern Kristen Howard.
She was treated on the scene for minor injuries.
Chimps Inc. is a wildlife sanctuary that holds eight chimps and two big cats.
The offending chimp was taken back to her cage.
Officials said the chimp had no history of violence.
