The point of the $$ is not so she can enjoy herself...it's to punish the people who were negligible. If I remember correctly, the city was warned several times about that animal. It had even gotten loose once or twice before this. The owner is negligible as shit. Yeah..she can't enjoy the money, but she can sure pay her legal fees, her medical fees, and any ongoing care/bills with it. Oh yeah. pain and suffering. I think she qualifies for 'pain and suffering'. Normally, I poo poo large settlement amounts like this, but this woman's life as she knew it is over. She doesn't even look like a human any more...all because some chimp fanatic didn't know when to throw in the towel. I'm sure some lawyer will argue that she willingly went over to help her, knowing the risks. blah blah blah.
