Andrew Donald Sammut was mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle on 1 November 1985: Man Says Ape Bit Him — Wants S.F. to Pay By Dave Farrell
A Redwood City man says the San Francisco Zoo owes him damages because a honeymooning city gorilla nearly bit off Ills finger at the Sonoma County ranch of a San Francisco Zoological Society director.
But the zoo says it doesn’t own the gorilla, and the zoological society director says the gorilla is not a gorilla.
In a claim filed against the city, Ancrew Sammut said he was bitten by i gorilla named Alice on July 13 at the Healdsburg ranch of Sonne Grilfen. Griffen, who volunteers at the zoo, is a director for the zoological society, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping the zoo.
Sammut said Alice bit him in a fit of Jealous rage after Sammut paid too much attention to her primate companion, Chester.
Griffen acknowledged late yesterday that a “privately owned pri
male" on her property had bitten a man, but she declined to provide further details. She said the animal was not a gorilla, but would not say whit kind of animal it was, who owns it or where it came from.
"It wasn’t a city-owned animal. That should satisfy you," she said. "I don’t have any city animals here. The zoo doesn’t check out animals like a library."
Sammut was invited to the
Farrell
ranch "to admire two fully developed adult gorillas located on the property which were owned and maintained by the San Francisco Zoo," his claim ctaUc.
Sammut, who now acknowledges that the creatures may have been orangutans, said in his, claim that the primates were tethered to a tree with rope. He said he "was informed the gorillas were fully tame and that he could be more'than confident while petting the' animals."
One of Sammit’s lawyers, H. Frank Wentholt, said Sammut .was told the primates were "zoo résidents on a little vacation, maybe a honeymoon ... From what he tells me, they were up enjoying a rural setting in the hopesthat they might mate.”
Sammut, who vas bitten on the right pinkie, says he has incurred nearly $7000 In medical bills so far. and he’s looking for someone to pay them.
The city told him yesterday that it won't pay because the .primates named in the suit don't belong to the zoo.
Those were rot our gorillas. We know of no primates vacationing up there at the Russian River," said Irene Casserly.a claim adjustor with the Recreation and Parks Department.
