Yesterday we brought you the unfortunate story of 8-year-old Tayce Nickel, who was attacked by a macaque in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Springfield, Missouri. We cited a local news report which quoted the monkey's owner, who said that Tayce had entered their SUV and was then "scratched" by Charlie.

Look at Charlie the macaque up there. Doesn't he look terrified? Confused? Distraught? He should be. That sweet-looking little girl, 8-year-old Tayce Nickel, has all but administered the lethal injection that will stop the rapid beating of his tiny, simian heart. In return, he probably gave her herpes.
