Ape Smuggling - Congo

October 2007
A rare exposé of the illegal trade in endangered animals, shipped to order from Congo to American zoos. Conservationist Karl Amman followed one consignment of monkeys every stage of the way.
It was described as; "the biggest shipment of primates that has ever come out of the Congo". Of the 100 monkeys exported, 34 went to the United States. The zoos claim these monkeys were rescued from the bush meat trade but the paperwork suggests they were probably caught to order and illegally exported.

I have recently arrived in the Congo. All I can tell each and every one of you: If you are frustrated about some monkeys, you sure as hell don't want to know about the much more serious things going on here. I have traveled the world, but this place... is uniquely barbaric!

Its easy to critique another culture after they have been raped by western and european powers for hundreds of years.

these people who live in the bush are so poor that they need to eat anything that comes along. Just like people did hundreds of years ago (by eating off the land) its the same thing for the bush people. I dont see the wrong in doing that. Humans have to eat or you'll die!
