[@raypratt3611]

This is ABSOLUTELY 100% CANABALISM, do these fucks realize this??oh its cuz their starving,yet they say things like chimp and gorilla are the most SUCCULENT tasting bush meat,so no that is not hunger!!we need a new start,period!!when u see things like this happening and only getting worse by the day,yea I believe more that GOD flooded us out before,cuz it looks like we are doing similar crap today as we were back then,Idk man seems the only way would be to start over,AGAIN!!

[@anitamitchell3452]

There is no easy solution to this situation. You have uneducated people doing what they have always done, trying to survive ... and you have a government doing the best it can which isn't good enough. Nothing new here. It's a sad situation all the way around.

[@trent_king]

Its not about education, these people are more educated on the realities of life than you because they live hand to mouth. The problem is human overpopulation that has expanded beyond capacity. "first world" countries are at the forefront of this as they live for convenience, everything packaged in plastic and shipped from across the world. I would say if you can't see that fact you and pretty much everyone with the ability to watch youtube are the ignorant ones. Not trying to be harsh but it is the truth we all have to realize if we want this to end.

[@joshmetzner1202]

@@schiros123 all h These people talk about them being terrible humans. They don't have the ability to go to walmart and buy something else. They have to do what it takes to live and everything else pays the price.they r comfortable watching these videos saying how bad these people are and never put a dollar towards what they say they are so passionate about or a boot on the ground because it's no where near the standard of living they are use to so they can see and understand. I personally have not either but I have the sense to understand that these people have nothing else to rely on. And until more than trying to stop people from hunting animals changes. Guess what? Animals are going to be hunted.

[@kflores6867]

I can quite honestly say I don't feel bad for these people who eat their meat and die afterwards. Not every freaking animal is meant for human consumption. That baby Gorilla breaks my heart to know she witnessed her mother dying right in front of her.

[@SomeGuy-xs3fj]

Actually no animal is meant to be killed,i'm no a vegan,but still...

[@gretchenne]

All animals can carry diseases. Haven't you heard about salmonella or the mad cow disease for instance? If it wasn't for food safety regulations, millions of people would die each year from food (including meat, vegetables, fruits) poisoning. I find your comment a tad hypocritical.

[@SomeGuy-xs3fj]

Are you speaking to me?I meant that in this day and age,we no longer really on killing animals to survive,we can grow food and eat without harming anyone,a lion kills because it needs to survive,we as humans kill just because we like the taste...I'm not vegan/vegetarian,but i see the bad in eating meat.

[@better2236]

K Flores That just sounds stupid. Its only ok for you to eat cow, hens etc because your an entitled American. If you can't eat 1 animal you shouldn't eat any!

How can people hurt these amazing animals

[@deborahtawadros567]

The punishment doesn't fit the crime, only three years? There needs to be stiffer punishments. For the poachers it needs to be longer than ten years the same for the people who sell the meat. Maybe three years for the people eating the meat.

[@matthewmcclain1316]

Yeah that's stupid. The poachers are the main source of the meat. Stop them, stop the problem. Start out with super harsh punishments, to prove a point.

[@schiros123]

No its not about poachers its about POPULATION. Too many hungry mouths. 8 BILLION PEOPLE IS TOO MANY. We need education on slowing and decreasing human population everywhere.

[@joshmetzner1202]

@@matthewmcclain1316 your comment is stupid it's us people that create the extra need for the trade. We have money and want different things. Those people are poor and have nothing and wouldn't take more than they needed to live and get by. if well off people didn't create a lane for them to make the money they need to survive this wouldn't be the problem and it would be far less overhunted as it was until this started going on.

There used to be lots but now they've dissapeared. And why do you think!?

[@tabuoey]

Comments are disgusting. Its bad that theyre eating endangered animals but its a matter of survival, they eat whatever they can find. You would do the same if you were in this situation unless you all wanted you and your family to die. The real solution to this is to educate them and also provide them with more affordable and non endangered meat. In our society human lives are seen as more important than animals - if there is meat available you will eat it to survive rather than letting yourself die to keep the animal alive

[@raphaelmarcelo5503]

I felt more empathy for the apes than those of our kind. I wanted those bush meat eaters and poachers to be wiped from the face of this earth. Hopefully in the coming years all these issues will come to pass and eventually a thing in the past.

[@barbaramcelduff3763]

I agree that people living in this environment are doing what seems natural to them. You can't judge them from a western point of view. I get to go to a supermarket and buy my food. They live in a village in the middle of nowhere. Most of them probably don't even know how to read. This is an extremely depressing issue: the loss of the great apes due to the hunting and the deforestation of the forests due to lumbering and palm kernel oil production. And its us in the developed world who are the consumers of the cheap furniture and all the foods containing containing palm oil. Look up what it has done to the orangutan habitats. I'm trying to resign myself to the fact that these animals and the elephants are not going to be around that much longer.

[@MaxPower-vf8kt]

I believe it’s a privilege to be in a place to criticize these people for eating bushmeat. Living in North America, I can’t relate to the struggle for these people to eat. But eating monkeys and more so great apes, is incredibly dangerous. Transmission of disease through blood from poorly cooked meat and contamination is risky to the human eating it and the other humans with which that person may interact. HIV/AIDS is common within chimps and has little affect on them compared to us. It’s likely bushmeat that gave us the AIDS crisis.

[@dabooser1048]

One seen video of people in Africa say the chimp and gorilla bushmeat is expensive so it is seen as a status symbol to be able to eat it. Truly disturbing.

[@Wayward1x]

How ?? The frozen gorrilla arm could have easily been a human arm. They resemble us so much. Its too much like cannibalism. So sad.

[@swapnilp5774]

How can someone kill apes and monkeys, they are so humanlike... this is heartbreaking. And eating them sounds like cannibalism.

[@lynno.8539]

All I see is survival. You guys must also realize this people aren’t educated. I bet some of these people don’t even view them as close relatives as human. For ex in japan when they see whales they see huge fish. But from our western view point we see a majestic animal with feelings. All of those people are trying to us make money for their family. I bet they could feed a whole village by selling monkey meat. If you really want to help this problem you would try to bring education to this countries not Criticize them from behind a compute screen and go about your day like nothing happened.

[@Kanti12311]

Chaselynn O. I see what you mean, but for the Japanese they can go without whales. There’s not many of them left, and Japan is not a poor country or uneducated people.

[@grandmap3389]

So many people judging these people, I judge no one that is starving, how dare we with full bellies judge them. Animals and plants were put here to eat by the Almighty. Most these people can’t even afford shoes, self righteous nuts. And I adore animals, but if my family was starving to death, I will feed them what’s available, if a chimpanzee family was starving and came up on you, your lunch!

[@thenoicemango1827]

I agree because they're starving but it's still wrong for many reasons. You can get diseases from eating primates such as chimpanzees. It's the reason why Ebola spreaded in the first place.

[@jennymbah9537]

Bless you for being educated

[@gleenallen6386]

There is nothing illegal about it. The people are hungry and they eat what's available to them.. Would I eat it? F NO!!! I'll rather chew off my arm than eat that.. But I'm not mad at them for finding food..

[@phancyisfancy8510]

Why is everyone so mad at these people who are hunting those animals, yes its bad but those people aslo need to eat.

[@djjordan1019]

Chickens, ducks, geese and pigs are easy to raise. Once they have poached it all there won't be any wildlife left. Chicken are the easiest( they can collect bugs from jungle to feed) they get eggs and meat from them and 3 weeks incubation to hatch more.
