 LOS ANGELES -- A West Covina couple who kept a pet chimp at their home for years but were forced to give it up in 1999 will be paid about $32,000 in a settlement with the city, which broke a deal to find a place to house the ape.
St. James Davis, who was nearly killed in March 2005 when he was attacked by two other chimps when he went to visit his pet, Moe, on the chimp’s 39th birthday at a Kern County facility, and his wife La Donna, will also get about $300 per month to house the chimp, according to published and broadcast reports.
