A Connecticut woman mauled and blinded by a chimpanzee is seeking to sue the state for $150 million. Attorneys for Charla Nash's family filed a notice Wednesday with the state's Office of Claims Commissioner asking for permission to sue the state. The 200-pound chimpanzee named Travis went berserk in February when his owner, Sandra Herold, asked Nash to help lure him back into her house in Stamford. The animal ripped off Nash's hands, nose, lips and eyelids, and she remains in stable condition at the Cleveland Clinic. How is this the state's fault that a woman tried to domesticate a wild animal?
