Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees are listed as, endangered and have already disappeared, from four countries Their habitat is in amazing forests, of central Africa and they spend a lot of their days, high up in the trees When chimps are grounded, they travel on all fours but they can walk on two legs, for a mile with no sores They use a stick, to fish termites out of a mound and drink water, by bunching leaves from the ground Chimpanzees can live, for more than fifty years and are very social, nurturing their young for many years They are our closest cousins, with 98% of our genes so let us have respect, for our ancestral prime mates The Ebola disease, has killed tens of thousands and poaching for bushmeat, is to feed rich residents Infant Chimpanzees, are caught and sold as pets as the greed of money, sends all life down the dunny

I did not know their babies were sold as pets. I would have thought that would be illegal.

It is illegal, in most countries. The USA has 7 states that allow personal possession.
