Petition Details

This is when secret networks of wildlife traffickers selling baby chimpanzees. Poachers would shoot lots of adults in a family as possible. This prevents them from resisting the capture of the baby and their bodies can then be sold as bushmeat. To obtain one infant alive, lots of adults are killed.

Additional Information

This is against the animals rights. To obtain one infant alive, up to 10 adults are typically slaughtered. All references can be found on the bbc news page.
