Right, this isn't weird news so much as wtf coverage.
Here's the story as I initially saw it on the BBC news site:

South Africa's Chimp Eden maulers escape death penalty
Two chimpanzees which mauled an American student in South Africa will not be put down, a government investigator says.
They were defending their territory and there was no evidence of negligence by their keepers, said Dries Pienaar.
Andrew Oberle was studying at a sanctuary in north-eastern South Africa when he was attacked last Thursday.
The chimps tore off some of his fingers, a testicle and mauled his head.
Mr Pienaar, a conservationist who is leading the investigation into the attack said the animals were defending their territory.

Quite an interesting story so I read on, and then scrolled down to the bottom of the page where it gives external links to other coverage of the incident:
