I don't even think of chimps as animals. I think of them as beings.

But let us not forget that human love and compassion are equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage, and in this sphere too our sensibilities are of a higher order of magnitude than those of chimpanzees.

If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.

However much you know giraffes, to see one in the wild for the first time feels prehistoric.

Of course animals have a personality and emotions.

When you meet chimps you meet individual personalities. When a baby chimp looks at you it's just like a human baby. We have a responsibility to them.

When you borrow you plan to pay back. We're stealing from our children - so many people have no intention of paying back.
