Chimps Taught Us We're Not Separated From

Thousands Of People Who Say They "love" Animals Sit Down Once Or Twice A Day To Enjoy The Flesh Of Creatures Who Have Been Utterly Deprived Of Everything That Could Make Their Lives Worth Living And Who Endured The Awful Suffering And The Terror Of The Abattoirs...

Is It Not Possible That The Chimpanzees Are Responding To Some Feeling Like Awe? A Feeling Generated By The Mystery Of Water; Water That Seems Alive, Always Rushing Past Yet Never Going, Always The Same Yet Ever Different. Was It Perhaps Similar Feelings Of Awe That Gave Rise To The First Animistic Religions, The Worship Of The Elements And The Mysteries Of Nature Over Which There Was No Control? Only When Our Prehistoric Ancestors Developed Language Would It Have Been Possible To Discuss Such Internal Feelings And Create A Shared Religion.

Be Assured That Our Individual Actions, Collectively, Make A Huge Difference.

The Chimps' Way Of Aggression Is Quick And Brutal. I Compare Them To Gang Attacks.

I Thought My Life Was Mapped Out. Research, Living In The Forest, Teaching And Writing. But In '86 I Went To A Conference And Realised The Chimpanzees Were Disappearing. I Had Worldwide Recognition And A Gift Of Communication. I Had To Use Them.
