Endangered animals - gorillas targeted by hunters - BBC
The illegal poaching of apes and monkeys in Africa has contributed to the more than 3000 chimps and 4 and a half thousand gorilla killed each year. The habit of eating Chimps and Gorillas is examined and conservationists attempt to stop the onslaught of illegal poaching in this clip from BBC documentary, Ape Hunters.

I don’t know about …
I don’t know about anyone else, but to me just the prospect of a species going extinct doesn’t sound good. I can’t exactly go on a rant about why I think not, but it just doesn’t.
I wanna pet chimp, though.

I am a hardcore animal lover but I just can’t stand how ugly apes are. If some jungle man wants to eat one, more power to him.

in Africa there is other things to hunt and eat instead of gorillas. The reason Africans eat gorillas is because they want to inherit the gorilla’s strength. For example pregnant women eat gorilla meat hoping that the child born will be as strong as a gorilla. Things like that. Again there’s other things to eat, other than monkeys. lol

it’s one thing to hunt for fun, but hunting for food is totally natural.
I don’t think these guys hunt for fun

I would prefer that people not eat the larger apes. Probably it would be better if we ate less meat anyway.
BUT… if we are talking about human beings starving or living, people are more important than animals.

the guy at 1:50 makes a poor argument for conserving the chips. this should be an argument for conserving them if they are endangered… but not because they look similar to us. otherwise where are all the pig and cow activists?

You can see in …
You can see in their eyes how much they have suffered at the hands of man. Ignorant, greedy, selfish humans. Many thanks to all who work so tirelessly to save these precious inhabitants of planet earth. Humans need to start realizing very quickly that nature and wildlife must be respected and cherished. There is not a single animal on earth, I would suppose, that has not suffered due to human ignorance. We share the planet with them and their lives are no less important than ours.
