Jon Stewart (who i adore) & the Daily Show (which i adore) have a new book out and on the cover is a chimpanzee. I think everyone on here knows why this is unacceptable. A lot of great conservationists, scientists and animal rights activists have already posted on the wall of their facebook page. Please consider adding your voice, or "liking" the comments of others to show your support (You must first "like" the page to post) Thanks, MA.
Here is my post:
"I see that a lot of people here think this "chimpanzee issue" is one of animal activist nut jobs. It is not. It is a major conservation problem. Just so we are all on the same page, please read this paper that came out in the March 14 2008 journal Science "Inappropriate Use and Portrayal of Chimpanzees" which can be found here: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/319/5869/1487- One of the authors is "moderate" Jane Goodall! If you cannot access it, a good summary is here: http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1295189/chimpanzees_endangered_status_often_forgotten/ If you are interested in the article, send me a message I would be happy to send you a pdf."Reference
