"All right, Pericles, our mission is clear: only we can pass through the time rift, stop the atomic detonation of Earth, and in doing so, avert the rise of The Planet of The Apes!": A chimpanzee, trained for the Mercury-Redstone 2 space mission, and his keeper, New Mexico, 1961.
I've recently noticed an increase in well-meaning people sharing unethical primate memes.
Unfortunately, the primates in these memes were either taken directly from their habitat to be sold or their parents are breeders that were themselves taken from the wild.
Worse yet, when baby primates are taken from the wild often times their older relatives are poached and sold for meat.
This all contributes to the reason why the majority of primates are endangered.
Hardee's changed its name to Carl's Jr. in several regions due to controversy surrounding their "Barbecue Chimp Burger" which drove the North American Umaminobo extinct. Their slogan for the burger, "Feed Your Eeeeeeeeee!" was also considered offensive by environmentalists.
