“Loving chimps to death” – Jane Goodall

This is a decent, though short, opinion piece from famed primatologist Jane Goodall. She mentions the appeal of chimpanzees as pets and attributes the wants to the portrayal of the animals in the media and entertainment industry. (i.e. the superbowl commercial with chimps in mechanic costumes) Goodall also discusses why chimps (and other wild animals) don’t make good pets as well as the fact that the animals are losing habitat at a drastic rate and their numbers being reduced by encroaching human populations.
