monkeys

Regarding comment #2, Congo is actually being destroyed by unprincipled foreign investors (with a few complicit Congolese allies) pouring money and weapons into the country without a thought for the consequences. Most of the Congolese people are as much a victim of what is happening as the wildlife ...

Informative, relative, and absolutely necessary.

has this been published on Ynet?

Colonialism was a horrible abuse of the natives and the resources of Africa. I other ways, the whole of Africa was better off with outside control. Of course, it would have been best with no interference from the Europeans, or from the Arabs.

save first the humans there, have you ever heard on blood dimonds and that is just a small part of terible reality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_(disambiguation) as you see not much of stability.

Save these innocent chimps of Congo from the bushmeat trade. Put the evil chimp of Iran in their place.

but are monkeys kosher? if not, they should be.

with the latest news about chimps and malaria, several sources are blaming the deforestation of the rainforest and the bushmeat trade.Do people understand the ingesting great apes contributes to wide spread diseases? These "foreign" investors need to be exposed for everything they are contributing to and destroying in Congo, in the name of greed!

I agree with Kathy in comment 11 ... humanity is taking an enormous risk allowing the slaughter of all these non-human primates in the tropics. Every time a chimpanzee or gorilla is butchered in the forest, we risk unleashing a new pandemic (see the transfer of the HIV virus from chimpanzees to Homo sapiens as a frightening example of how this can happen). This is yet another reason to fight the illegal bushmeat trade.
