Give me back my chimp! Custody fight for Sueko the Chimpanzee continues

Custody fights aren’t pretty, and Kansas City is in the middle of one — over a chimpanzee. A municipal court trial on the matter of Sueko the chimp has been delayed for two weeks, and a man claiming to be the chimp’s real owner came forward to reclaim his chimp and threatened to sue the city if she’s not returned.

John Michael Oyer told the Star that Sueko is like family to him, and he’ll file a lawsuit if he’s

not given his chimp back.

“That’s my baby,” he told the paper. “She grew up in my house with all

my children. She’s domesticated.”
