Sorry for the essay 😅 I’m just at 8:19 and I know I shouldn’t comment before finishing the video 😂 but I will anyway…besides, my comment isn’t about you guys…what you’re bringing up “what if these chimps were people” reminds me of my thoughts on medical testing on animals. I recently found out about a medical testing facility near my home town in New Iberia, Louisiana. It’s been there for decades and has already faced a lot of scrutiny. But I just recently became aware of it. I drove by, they house gorillas, chimps, and macaques (maybe others, not sure), you can see them from the road in their caged play pen type areas. I see job listings often for animal handlers/techs. Can we move toward a world where medical testing can be performed on consenting humans? Some of these animals are descended from test subjects, generations, since the 1980s, they have only known captivity, they are poked and prodded and loaded with chemicals and “cared for” by people (humans, fellow primates) who fear them, don’t want to be near them, and probably hesitate to allow themselves to feel compassion for them because of the violence of this publicly funded operation. There are disturbing parallels to human slavery, I obviously don’t want to compare human victims of slavery to these animals but is there any difference in how they are treated by the people in power? Anyway, it disturbs me. I probably won’t watch this documentary so thank you for your commentary!!!

Along with Grizzly Man, this is the Horror documentary double feature that you didn’t think you need. 😅
