   Surprised I had never heard of this disturbing case study.   
      
   The sad saga makes you wonder why that Connecticut lady who was raising chimp   
   Travis kinda sorta like a human--before responding authorities shot Travis to   
   death in February 2009 after the beast went ape mauling, blinding and   
   disfiguring her visiting    
   lady friend--didn't realize how tragically her own experiment might end up.    
   (I presume she--or anyone else setting out on such a fool's errand--was   
   familiar with the parents'/researchers' 1933 book "The Ape and the Child").   
      
   It would be interesting to learn the details behind Kellogg's suicide at age   
   43; it's entirely possible, of course, that he was tormented by matters   
   completely unrelated to what so weirdly happened in his early childhood four   
   decades prior.   
      
   Meanwhile, the pretend-journalist who sloppily wrote this piece never bothered   
   to tell the reader whether this was somewhere stateside, or over in the U.K.   
   [my hunch, given it's from the British Daily Star], or somewhere else on the   
   planet.
