A chimp would never plan to pull another's nails out.

Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.

People say, "Oh, we ought to fight for animal rights." We fought for human rights, but even if humans have rights, they can still be horribly abused and are every day. You don't have to go to some far off land, far away place; we have a lot of child abuse in our own society.

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

I was even accused of teaching the chimps how to fish for termites which I mean that would have been such a brilliant coup.

It is these undeniable qualities of human love and compassion and self-sacrifice that give me hope for the future. We are, indeed, often cruel and evil. Nobody can deny this. We gang up on each one another, we torture each other, with words as well as deeds, we fight, we kill. But we are also capable of the most noble, generous, and heroic behavior.

The awful thing is we don't respect each other.
