Jane Goodall Instagram – “This new focus on the plight of chimpanzees used for entertainment and as ‘pets’ gives us the opportunity to throw a light on the way that chimpanzees are treated in some captive conditions. Chimpanzees (and other wild animals) should never be kept as pets or for entertainment. It is the demand for chimpanzees to be sold as pets or for inappropriate entertainment for tourists, that is fueling this trade — one of the main threats to these apes in some parts of Africa. Let us be thankful to the many people working today to properly care for and improve the lives of rescued chimpanzees in reputable sanctuaries and zoos.”
– Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, ethologist and conservationist, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, and U.N. Messenger of Peace
