    From the minds of Tiger King comes a new docuseries about exotic animal owners. HBO’s Chimp Crazy focuses on the women who raise chimpanzees and monkeys across the US.

    Tiger King director Eric Goode focuses on chimp owner Tonia Haddix’s obsession with the animal. Tonia owned a famous chimp named Tonka who was taken away during the filming. “It’s complex,” Goode says about the situation. “She possibly loves a chimpanzee more than her own children. It’s obsessive. It’s real: she absolutely loves this chimpanzee. But there’s probably also some – and I’m not a trained in this area – mental health issues that reside in a number of these women. Why they need so desperately to have that relationship versus a normal, loving relationship that we typically have.”
