I'm always pushing for human responsibility. Given that chimpanzees and many other animals are sentient and sapient, then we should treat them with respect.

I think anything is better than war. The extent to which one can negotiate with fanatics, I have no idea. I don't know.

Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.

Other people have talked about chimpanzees being a window into the past, which I suppose is true, in a way.

The chimps' way of aggression is quick and brutal. I compare them to gang attacks.

My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature.

Of course animals have a personality and emotions.
