How sad...CHIMPANZEES: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY.

[Brutuskend]

I just got done watching a show on PBS called CHIMPANZEES: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY.

If you have any love for animals and you have the chance, you HAVE to catch this show!

So sad in so many ways, yet it gives you a good feeling knowing that there are those out there who care so much and are doing what they can to repay the chimps, now in their old age, for all they have done for US!

I didn't catch the show but read the intro. Poor chimps.

I think all chimps deserve 40 acres.

Well lets see, they flew in space to make sure WE could survive it, they have tested COUNTLESS drugs to make sure THEY wouldn't kill us, many of them carry AIDS due to the testing done on then to help save US from dieing from it, and the list goes on.

You REALLY should catch this show!

Scientists couldn't do AIDS testing on rats because they couldn't get the rats to butt fvck each other.

All in all it made me ashamed to be a human....

is some animal testing terrible? im sure.

but how about the 800,000 rwandans that were slaughtered in 100 days? how about the sudanese right now?

as disgusting as what we do to animals may be, what we do to ourselves is incomparable, IMO

Are you really that dense to not know that Chimps are so close to us genetically to know that testing on them is pretty damn close to testing on humans?

It makes for more accurate testing vs testing on some random mouse or rat.

That being said, Chimps and other "high" primates should be held to a higher standard IMHO.

BTW, anyone else love the movie Project X?

That movie is what made me love chimps and still to this day makes me teary eyed (yeah, I know...what a a pvssy)
