Chimps can be friendly - if in a zoo and cared for by zoo experts. HOWEVER, chimps are also animals who have much more strength than humans and can turn violent in a second. They should not be raised as 'pets', because they are wild animals and belong in the wild. Mothers are hunted down and killed so hunters can sell the babies. But baby chimps grow up very fast to adult chimps and they can attack. A woman in the USA lost her face and hands when her friend's adult chimp attacked her without provocation; the chimp had to be shot by police. So don't ever think a chimp can be a suitable pet.
