- In Uganda, the encroachment of settlements into the country's western forests has sparked a battle between humans and chimpanzees.
So far this year, chimps have killed or injured dozens of children, and locals are retaliating by hunting down and poisoning their protected neighbours.
I read that chimpanzees attacks they usually aim for the Face of the victim, i can already imagine how traumatizing it must be seeing these injuries.
And genitals.
Face or groin
And fingers
The face, extremities, and genitals.
No, they go for everything. They’ll bite fingers, ears, noses, or whatever off.
It's very easy for you all to sit in your sheltered populated cities in Europe and North America and tell those Ugandan farmers (who's food you may have consumed before, especially coffee) that they're in the wrong for trying make a living with the limited resources and opportunities available to them
Why are they breeding so fast?
@@karlscher5170why are you breeding at all, start with yoyrself
The ecosystem the chimps live in gets destroyed by humans who are incapable of living sustainably. So yes, of course our deepest sympathies are for the chimps - or rather : the foundation of our lives which is the forest ecosystem.
In Africa a lot of desertification takes place because humans destroy forests. This in turn causes degradation of soil and - oh my - have you thougt about that: you cannot grow your crops on degraded soil. Uganda has so much degraded land. So think about this first before you write your comment.
And in case a stupid comment ("luxury")of yours appears after my comment: i fight for biodiversity in my town and help establishing meadows, I live vegan and don't drive a car.
@@jollyjokress3852 it's great that you're vegan and don't drive a car, good for you. But if you live in a first world country I'd bet your eco footprint is bigger than those farmers. Think of the deforestation required to build the neighbourhood you wrote that message on, the emissions used to create the electricity you use, the plastic used to build the device you wrote that comment from, the amount of water plastic and gas used to get your vegetables to you. The Americans revolutionized agriculture to make it more efficient, however it had a net negative impact on the environment so even if you're vegan if you live in a country where farmers use the same or similar methods, those farms are probably doing more damage to the environment than those Ugandans are. It's cool that you don't drive a car but trains and busses don't run on air either. Not to mention the environmental impact of making a railway to begin with
@@nhlfan1001 I bet my footbprint is equal or smaller than theirs. yes, I have my laptop and my cellphone. I am smart enough to accountg for this in my calculation. Clothes are second hand, I sew ripped trousers also I shower cold, wash my dish in cold water. I live in the temperate part of the northern hemisphere and I didn't even heat my flat i winter because to me it is a big waste:
That said, you still don't get the gist of my comment: It is futile to destroy the forest as it gives them more than degraded land could ever give them. And you defend the ones who keep on detstroying.
I'm not only "targeting" the Ugandas, I am also doing that with German wine producers, construction companies etc. We've already crossed so many planetary boundaries.
But you think it is okay to not give a voice to the remnants of the equatorial jungles? Really, evolution has destroyed the brains of humans.
This comment section proves how detatched from nature people have become.
Every TH-cam comments section proves how detached from common sense and reality we have become. There are a lot of disturbed individuals to be found within them.
This comment section shows how detaches from reality white people are
Attacking the chimps back is pretty animalistic. So maybe they are closer to nature then you think.
@hellknightmordred7655 That's literally good. Nobody is above nature. Let's stick a wolf pack in your neighborhood, fence them in a mile radius around your home, and see if you still criticize natural human preference.
It’s a TH-cam comment section of course it’s filled with degenerates and weirdos 😂
Well, this is freaking disturbing. There are few deaths I can imagine worse than being taken out by a chimp.
@@unclescipio3136 I would dispute that given the sadistic behaviors of murderers, serial killers and just look at the torture and atrocities done in war. People have often been tortured over days which is far worse than the violence perpetrated by chimps!!
Let's not forget people came into the chimps territory. It should be something the government manages better, but with a pitiful budget they probably have they can't afford to do more. That is not just a problem in Uganda but a global problem!!
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 most deaths in war are fairly quick, but I did say 'few' not 'no'.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096chimps, like humans, have been known to engage in torture, warfare etc. the only other species known to do so
It happens in chicago every day
Bear attack is worse
It makes horrible sense, because apes will also kidnap the young of lions or leopards, in an effort to eliminate or drive away the enemy predators.
Incorrect, Apes do not kidnap Lion or Leopard cubs. You are thinking of Baboons and they are not Apes.
Baboons do that not apes and they only do that after what ever animals it was killed there young first so stop trying to make them look bad
stop watching animal planet.
Nature is not a Disney movie. It’s all about survival in the end
Wow, did not know that. So, its not revenge, but survival instinct.
When I was a kid I got scared by the flying monkees in the Wizard of Oz. Can't imagine real ones coming at you out of the trees. They are vicious.
So are humans
I am more terrorized of people. People torture and kill and even eat these poor chimps!!!! humans are the monsters, not the chimps. and people are the ones destroying the chimps land!
Me tooo😮
Chimps are apes not monkeys
They aren’t monkeys, they are apes, and meanest and most wild of all apes. They even eat their own young.
People in the comments seem to lack all empathy for these Ugandans. There is no easy solution. Kenyans have challenges with lions killing cattle and elephants plundering crops. Indians face similar issues. Human wildlife conflict is a problem in parts of the world that have a booming population threatening the natural ecosystem. In the UK, wolves and bears were made extinct around 1,500 years ago. It's no surprise commenters on here can only offer shallow responses. Solutions are much harder to come by in developing countries but these countries governments and universities are trying to resolve these issues. It takes time.
I'm an animal person but don't believe in letting wild animals kill humans willy nilly. There has to be some kind of intervention surely?
The real problem is increasing human population numbers, which encroach more and more into wildlife habitat. Maybe it's not so much that there is a lack of empathy for the Ugandan people, but that we are witnessing many animal species being pushed to the brink of extinction all over the world, due to human beings refusing to control their numbers.
And everything on this earth have issues with HUMANS killing, destroying, stealing, disrespecting, etc., to not only animals and nature but to their own kind. So, who is the real evil villain here???? If someone invades your home, or constantly threatens or disrespects what is yours, are you going to roll over and let them keep at it? Understand this, THIS IS THE ANIMALS HOME FIRST! And everyone whose comments you don’t like, are entitled to express their opinion on this matter.
@@christinehall6441 Yet we play judge, jury and executioner when an animal harms or kills humans; including wild ones. Smh.
I agree 100% if England can wipe put bears, Africa can wipe out screaming chimps. Thanks Roger, it's important to remember we can wipe out any species if we want and we're 100% justified
What a nightmare this must be for all involved. On one hand Chimpanzees are an endangered species. On the other hand theyre coming into conflict with people. As with most things in life they're no easy answers. I feel bad for those kids though. They must be terrified knowing those Chimps are so close. I know it would have scared me as a child.
I like the part where you said they are coming into conflict with people!!!! …. 🤦🏼♂️
@@Drizzle600humans are animals too
Human population 8 billion, vs wild chimpanzees who number around 250.000. They have no chance of surviving if drastic measures are not taken against human exploitation and deforestation.
@@Drizzle600 Chimps less then 300.000 vs 8 billion humans, I think they are out numbered.
@@HOLLASOUNDS yeah but this is only a village. So it's more even 😯🥤🍿
These comments are so absurdly ignorant. Do you all honestly think humans just came into this world with ready-made cities to inhabit? We have ALWAYS "encroached" on animals' habitats because we are part of that habitat too.
All of you judging these poor people for trying to build a place to live from your lofty, safe cities that were built the exact same way.
The entitlement and disconnect from reality of some people is frankly embarrassing.
Exactly
You're right! I hate when people think its wrong for humans to live on this earth. We didn't come from space! Can't just disappear to make room for the animals. Earth is our home too.
They wanted humans to die more so that they don’t need to build more homes for humans.
@@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279 honestly, people act like humans are aliens from space, we've always been apart of the ecosystem, especially in Africa where humans originated from
Agreed, and they don't realize that this disregard of human life will ultimately be bad for the chimps too, eventually those kids are going to grow up and you're going to have an extremely hard time convincing them to care about protecting the chimps when they have lived in fear their whole lives. I'm all for protecting wildlife, but animals are not more important than human life
The Ugandan Government needs to create job opportunities for these people so they can relocate. Create an infrastructure where you can create something to trade with another African nation. I don't know what that is because I am not familiar with the needs of this area, but if this specific population is reliant on farming for income then other sources of income have to be sought. All parts of Uganda are not rural, they have vibrant cities too.
Yes, you are right. Looks like they are going to be running out of forest soon anyhow, considering how fast they are turning it into firewood.
One of the few sane comments here
Uganda government is only good when it comes to corruption nothing else
Maybe the government should confiscate your house and farm and shoo you off your property. Let's be honest, if westerners faced a tribe of hostile chimpanzees, they would exterminate every single one of them.
@@gregorymalchuk272 I live in Canada and endangered wildlife land is protected from development. That was not true a few hundred years ago, but we have a better understanding of the ecosystem now and our place in it.
I wonder if there's a correlation with the death of the troop's leader. Similar occurrences have happened when elephant herds lose the moderating influence of their matriarchs.
its revenge ,almost same thing with dogpuppies kidnapped by monkeys in India
@@watjejanssen7535 just like crocodiles eating children in Florida, yeah woo, go animals !
Animals gonna animal
Humans shot the chip.
@@joefreeman3772 Why is it such a shock for you for another animal to eat or kill a human? Humans literally kill or capture and exploit pretty much anything that's alive, and also destroying what isnt.
For those taking the chimps side remember the children growing up around this could affect the conservation of chimps tomorrow. Do you really think that they'll be for protecting chimps when they grew up living in fear of being brutally mauled by them? Yes, chimps should be protected but at the same time they cannot be allowed to attack and kill people, especially children. Ignoring the human element is bad for both humans and chimps involved both short and long term
? WTF are you talking about?
they need to learn why this is happening
US: Be careful with grass stains on your new football jersey, kids
Uganda: Be careful you don't get pounced on and murdered by a chimp
Or the police
The sheer # of school shootings in the US proves your comment to be ignorant.
Humans invade land of animals who deserve to live on this Earth in THEIR habitat. Overpopluation of humans is the cause. Greed is the cause. Not replenishing what we steal from this Earth is the cause.
makes you think about real problems huh
When balance is lost shitty situations become more frequent…
David Carradine said that line on Kung Fu you damned thief!
"How many of you have..." A dozen pairs of hands were raised before the question was even finished. Children are always so cute!
The reporter is clueless about children's behaviour. They would even claim seeing dragons )))
I saw that
The Ugandan children all speak English?!?!?!!!
This is the second time this year I’ve heard about this!
I think it’s hypocritical of everyone to blame the humans, they’re just doing what they have to do to survive as well. These poor villagers aren’t living in the lap of luxury and are just trying to make it with the bare necessities. It’s easy for people, especially for those living in wealthier western countries, to point and say leave their habitat alone but a wild dangerous animal was strolling their neighborhood threatening their kids that animal would’ve been killed a long time ago.
yes i cringe as my fellow westerners spout such stupidities
@@Purwapada they want to enjoy all that modern society has to offer yet talk down to others who are just trying to survive. I don’t see anyone in the west complaining about the harm that is done to the environment by mining lithium for their precious phones, or how many people commit suicide because their job manufacturing iPhones is almost like slavery. There are countless other examples, but when others in poor countries do something to simply survive they’re outraged by it. They should go see how they’re living and what they go thru before being so judgy.
@@mohammedkhaliq1475 yes, such hypocrisy!
its not just any animal though. its a protected endangered species. for example in America, its a crime to hit the geese or harm them... same concept
@@mohammedkhaliq1475 its not about judging either. I care about the planet and the wildlife that lives there. it's 8 billion people on earth.
these people would flip if they saw how utterly insane we are in our developed countries: we take it next level with dogs. Not only do dogs regularly take out our young, and are valued above human life by most people, but we actually house, feed and coddle them. its mind blowing.
We get it a dog scared you when you were a child and now you have a vendetta against dogs, grow up would you and stop being an Ahole
A Kenyan channel showcased a trek through the forest where the chimps are just a month ago. I recall commenting that I wouldn't trust chimps, especially with children, having seen other videos on how chimps are savage to themselves and humans
I am more terrorized of people. People torture and kill and even eat these poor chimps!!!! humans are the monsters, not the chimps. and people are the ones destroying the chimps land!
@@PRHILL9696 I guess we're all animals at the end of the day. With good and bad sides. The jungle is unforgiving, so brutality within and against other species isn't totally unexpected. But we humans have better judgement and we should use it the right way
@@panafrican.nationnah bro, the fact we can communicate overseas and think for ourselves is what ultimately seperates us from animals, since even animals will eat their own kids if theyre hungry or angry enough, while us humans gotta just deal with bratty kids and teach em not to be so bratty 😅
Chimps are one of a very few types of animals that can and will premeditate a murder, on their own species or others. They are regular gangbangers 😂
It's a common trait among primates.
Wait till Joe Rogan finds out about this
Dope
@MikeVan-j7sCry about it lol

Yeah, he might dedicate 10 minutes of his time to it. WTF are you thinking Joe does with his time?
Unfortunately Uganda is not keeping chimps and humans in separate places. And poor people have no access to cooking fuel other than wood. No one wins in these situations.
They could win if they used different sources than wood. Just listen to INTELLIGENT people (and not to a stupid leader) and you'd find alternatives. Uganda has severe land degradation, so it is not logical to say that the way of the people is an okay one - because where they go they leave destruction - eroded soil, on which only a fraction of original biomass can establish. So better leave the forest intact and leave the biodiversity intact.
If only they realised that having 10 children each is not sustainable we may not be in this mess

I can't imagine having children and moving to an area that chimps are trying to protect as their own. What a nightmare.
I think it's wrong to even think of relocating the Chimps. We need to find alternatives to encroaching on their ancestral habitat. No wonder the Chimps are upset and attacking
Chimps are dangerous. Cannibalism is very common.
On that basis, humans are very dangerous! They spread diseases, they destroy other creatures en mass, they pollute the world, they fight and destroy, and worst of all, they have developed weapons of mass destruction. It's all very common!
Not as dangerous as humans...
humans are dangerous, even more so.
Life is dangerous. Humanity has forgotten where it came from. We, too, are dangerous.
Cannibalism is common in plenty of species. Ritual cannibalism and medical cannibalism was common in many human societies (including European) until relatively recently. Heck, placentophagy is becoming “trendy” in Western society, and it’s borderline cannibalism.

The crazy thing is chimps are omnivores. They’ll rip you to pieces while you’re alive and eat you.
The last shot is very beautiful.
@4:04 the kids started raising their hands before you had asked the question - what a pointless exercise !
Many of the children assumed that the reporter was asking the same question he posed earlier. Look into their faces, you will see the sincerity and truthfulness.
They likely asked the question in their native language, before the interviewer said it in english
@@1PITIFULDUDE
Natives: "Look at all this free land."
Chimpanzees: "There goes the neighborhood."
Hwites: destroys nearly all their forest in the land they live in but ask everyone else to not do that
That's it in a nutshell.
Make a national park.
Form the locals to guiding and conservation.
Make it touristic enough so the locals can live decently.
The government makes loads of money already like that with gorilla..
Too bad the corruption is rampant
And too bad chimps are mean, cruel, violent and aggressive and so it'd be bad to expose tourists, and clearly even locals, to it. Gorillas are gentle and peaceful as long as you respect them. Chimps are not. Chimps kill each other, other monkeys, cannibalize their own, eat monkeys and other animals alive, and they've been documented as infiltrating gorilla territory, attacking gorillas and killing their babies and young as well.
Why was a one year old wandering alone in forest?
So you're implying that ws children never wander off ? cause if you are , you need to check your stats , boy .
@@bristerleverett844 No, my parents never left me unsupervised for long enough for me to "wander off". You'd think if you lived in an area where kids are getting taken and killed, they'd maybe care about their kids a little more. But no, the same negligence still applies. Can't blame the chimps for seeing it's easiest meal in days and taking it. Yummy!
@@jessicapearson7721 like you remember what your parents were doing when you was 1 😂
Bet you got left at the chippy by accident
because he was working.
unlike you, POOR PEOPLE have to work, or they die. This applies to children
How stupid can you be? The child was attacked and dragged off into the forest by the chimps. How sick and depraved to blame the parents.
Once visited Mbuji-Mayi in the DRC and was astonished to see deforestation for as far as the eye can see. Booming populations are decimating old growth forests worldwide. At this rate, the human race virus won't last much longer.
Of course there is a solution, but these people are too far down the rabbit hole.
No they are just to selfish and thought they could do a land grab for Free and do what they want with it, with total disregard and no respect of Chimps.
Yes the answer is let the humans tear the chimps to shreds, chimp kills human, humans tear chimp to shreds.
And Some people want to bring them overseas to keep them as pet in a tiny apartment.
They are frustrated enough in the open woods and behaving badly.
Well, as a follower of spaghetti religion, I would say this is our God's punishment on the country for outlawing homosexuality.
These animals are trying to protect their living space! Man has taken all their natural living space and with it their food supply I don't blame these chimps but it's very sad for families who lose children!
Unless there's a rigidly defined border to prevent people destroying the forest
then this won't stop..
The chimps need space to continue there existing on this planet. The government should designate a location for the people to live instead of being in harm way. There should be a government intervention.💕🦊
It seems they know what to do about this human problem. They go for the young, taking out the future threat, as a way of acknowledging they can't win currently.
Logical. Sad but true. Backed in a corner. What else would u do?
Disgusting words coming from you.
Interesting. Valid insight. I would never have thought of that.
It's so nuts when you think of all the resources are in africa. If not for colonialism, this problem would probably not exist.
When you say you want to peacefully coexist you mean you want to continue to expand your habitat into their habitat without repercussions?
Fool
Like the suburban trash in the US here or Australia?
People like you get silent when your own folk do things like this, and even people in South America.
But it's Africa so you don't care about their kids
its horrible for the parents and the child, but maybe the chimps had enough of their homes been taken away...
And the parents probably had enough of wild animals ruining them and their children lives

@@ravenmeyer3740who said they don’t dingus
Some people say growth is good thing. Clearly not watching this! Apparently it's good for the economy expanding the younger workforce. Why not focus on improving the people's healthspan instead, most disease is preventable. Then the vast majority are functional into old age.
Much love to mother nature. These comments should show many the disgusting nature of racially charged hatred. Spitting on these people is degenerate behavior.
If chimpanzees could make a video I think it might sound the same.
Well, you can't really blame 'em for doing this. Baby-sized primates are wayyy harder to catch...
Someone dropped the ball and left one year old alone 😢 it's like if you know there's wild animals where you live then either keep your children close or inside away from danger.
_Rise of the Planet of Apes_ was a prophecy 💀
People are invading the animals habitat 😡

I love it how the narrator of this story and the government are acting as if these local humans never existed in Africa and the Chimpanzees were here first!
Humans and animals have been coexisting for a long time, and it doesn’t mean it’s always peaceful.
Stop acting like you’re some kind of “higher up sympathetic human” without living in one day in the shoes of these people.
If people didn't want their children dying like that, then they shouldn't be bringing those children with them to invade the land of another species to begin with ffs!
Here’s what I will never understand. People encroach on animals territory and when something bad happens they don’t understand why

This is so sad and disturbing to watch. What to do. Surely someone can mitigate this situation in some way to protect humans and chimpanzees!
In more cases than not, there is no solution in a ressource battle. That's why for example there is only one species of human beings, conflict with the other ones was unavoidable and in those case, there need to be a winner for things to calm down. Same for a lot of wars between humans, when ressources were limited, you couldn't always "share" the little ressources that existed, so if you wanted your child to avoid famine, you needed to win. That's the history of humanity, or I should I say the history of nature, and life itself.
I was thinking the same thing surely we could get a bunch of social workers to go and talk to the chimps and work out an amicable solution. Maybe if the people didn't have 10 children each we wouldn't be in the situation
Ugandas' people aren't allowed to carry guns? Gotta protect & preserve ur property 🤷♀️
I’m disturbed to read so many of the comments. People are valuing humans and animals equally. Not to mention this countries own government is valuing the chimp above the humans. So sick.

Or don't have 10 kids each then it's much easier to look after the ones that you do have
Unfortunately this is the same story across the world, humans move into an animals territory and then there is conflict. There isn’t enough land to move animals into new areas (and even if there was humans would eventually move to those areas). Then humans get upset and say governments care more about the animals and not the people. No easy answers but as long as the human population continues to explode these wildlife and human conflicts will never go away and we all know who will lose out in the end.
I don't care how endangered a species is...if it threatens me and my own, or just humans in general, it's time for extinction mode.
Yes. Like you came to the Americas and tried to wipe out our people and the people of the lower Americas. Then call us names and like you enslaved people you brought over to the Americas. You reap what you sow.
The only time you can disagree with “it was their land first” Uganda, east Africa, the birth place of the human race. It was both our common ancestors land. They need to work out how to create a situation for them to peacefully coexist. Just my opinion which is worth about £0.05 but I’m gonna give it….
too much population that's the problem🙄🙄🙄
If I would live in place like that, I would not make children, so they would not be damned to live in poverty and afraid of chimp attacks.
Some may same the same about where you live with assaults and traffic accidents all the time.
@@uk145so? We definitely need to "multiply" no matter where.
thats so dumb for that farmer to say if faced with the fact that In 25 years the forest will be gone which means a end to countless of different animals... stop having so many human babys stop the growth and be satisfied with what they already got its not that hard to figure out or move to a city far away from the chimp forest
❤❤❤
Not the sharpest tool in shed huh?
@Leafboiiiii the only reason pep are geting attacked is because of population groth and the need to get more land more farming land more trees cut down and the chimps got to live somewhere id say you are not the brightest because u think human life has more value but it dont we have driven so manny different things to theyre death due to the want to have more then we need there is no reason to breed in a over abundance
@Leafboiiiii and the fact we are a higher thinking animal we should use thoes smarts to know better...when a animal becomes a evasive creature it is because they dont know no better but when we do it with the knowledge that we only got one planet..that we know there are consequences to our actions then shame on us
@Leafboiiiii and yes the rain forest are like the earths lungs they create the oxygen you breath your the one thats not that smart pep who live around the forest should take care of them knowing with out them the whole planet would not be able to support our life and that includes the animals that live with in cause they make a balance that helps the rain forest live its called the circle of life fool
People are their own enemies!
Their government is failing them. They need to find safe places for the residents to live. No one should be scared to go to work or school because of an animal attack.
its not the governments problem. its the peoples problem. they are rejecting birth control and reproducing in mass amounts. they can easily be relocated if there are less of them.
I visited Uganda and saw the Chimpanzee's in Kibale. Was an incredible experience. They walked right past us.
This is sad on both sides.
These things happen. Making an article about this is something I understand. But where are the articles pointing news towards humans killing chimpansees? Destroying their homes, environment and ripping their family aparts al due to cutting down trees and acres of nature?
"a fight between two species and they were there first." like the chimps are of equal value to the humans? revolting idea.
there are 8 billion humans, and Africa is overproducing when they lack the resources to support the growth, the chimps aren’t less important, because they are endangered and manage their own populations better than the impoverished people that can barely feed themselves pumping out a dozen babies and then acting surprised when 9 of them starve to death.
I mean humans aren't anything special there are 8 billion of us. I'm not saying the people should die but the chimpanzees need more attention. They are endangered. So in this situation the chimpanzees should stay. They have done no wrong
The chimps lived there first probably for millions of years and not to me there endangered and having there homes etc taken away so it's pretty care which side is being untreated
@@AKayani559 who is more important, humans or chimps ?
@@danien37what does it matter? Chimpanzees deserve to remain alive they are vital for the ecosystem
The same situation with stray dogs in Russia and Ukraine. Our governments protect the dogs, the dogs killing children. Except the dogs are NOT at extinction not near.....
Fighting others who are encroaching in on their territory, seems to be not just a present day * cough cough Russia/ Ukraine cough... human issue. 🤔
What does it matter whether they were there first LOL; man enjoys priority - what I don't understand is why the government simply can't set a couple of acres of land aside and then create an animal wildlife sanctuary or similar the same way that South Africa does for example where the wildlife can live undisturbed, including these chimps. Humans have their land and those chimps have their habitat, there's plenty of room isn't there
When the conservationist bring out the old "they have been here for centuries" argument, haven't the natives been there for centuries too.
They don't see it that way.They have the,we can do it,but know one else can,mind.
the western usually much care about animal than human, nothin surprise
Obbviously they haven't been in this forest, this is a recent development because of the growing population.
No, they haven't been in the forest. They pushed themselves into their habitat
A human life is more valuable than that of an animal, there is no discussion.
Amen!
Not to the animal defending its colony.
FACTS but I'm human so I may be a lil biased lol
@@windycityliz7711 killing a harmless child is not defending your colony.
@@SGOV86 But it IS in the wild. Many animal species routinely destroy the young of others to control their boundaries.
leave the animals alone they have a right to be there not humans
They shouldn't chop thier forests down.
Say that to the farmer family who struggle to survive with no education, "just" by farming, to give ther children food.
@@Timmanurs4 the farmers should go somewhere else it's the chimps land..humans are just scumbags it deserves them right
@@scottishlad1990 Okey mate where do you draw the line then? If you try to think a little bit longer you will realise that you are living in an old animal habitat. Your house, city or work place stands in an old animal habitat, but you don't think about it because the animals that's lived ther before are #1 not exotic enough for you #2 they don't attack you #3 they was forced to move ther habitat hundred of year's ago.
I don't know you and don't know how you live or work, but from the statistics it's 95% chans that you don't belong to the group of indigenous people. If you think like that even the first homosapien was "exploiting" the habitat of animals.
You are one of use that exploits the earth just by living. So, where do you draw the line? If all the animal lives are worth more than humans lives, should the human race (including you) be exterminated?
Best regards
@@Timmanurs4 Doesn't excuse cutting down trees
@Leo sun Aqua moon the animals don't benefit from that
That would be very scary to go out that way, poor kids.
Those poor villagers. I’m a huge animal lover & advocate, and I understand that humans are encroaching on their habitats, but chimps in Uganda have been targeting, attacking & killing human children for years & it needs to stop. Sorry but I’m all for killing the aggressive chimps that attack humans to make sure it doesn’t happen again & make it clear that kind of behavior won’t be tolerated. I’d rather they fear humans & keep their distance than feel confident enough to approach. I love our closest relatives but I love human children more. Whether it’s right or wrong, I think we need to protect human children first & foremost.
It’s humans that are encroaching on the chimps’ land, not the other way around. Where are the chimps meant to go? So not, you’re not a “huge animal lover & advocate”. I bet you’re not even vegan - how can you claim to love animals if you pay someone to torture and kill them so that you can eat them? Hypocrisy at its finest.
I don't agree but probably the evolutionary drive to multiply human species to infinite numbers isn't strong in me. That said, they could protect their kids, but please not by killing the great apes. That would be criminal!
@@jollyjokress3852 how will they protect their kids without killing the killers?, even in your country when someone come for your life with a knife or a gun and you're able to get them first, it isn't criminal but self defense, you may love animals more than your own species which is ridiculous but tell me why should this villagers care about your opinion when their kids are targets for chimps.
one of the most sensical comment here.
@@ruzimabonieck6908 There is nothing ridiculous about loving another species more than your own species - of course.
Specifically, when individuals say things like you and make up a majority which defines a species then the species has to land lower in the list of my preference.
That said, there are also a lot of awesome humans, just not the likes of you.
Anyone paying attention to chimps won’t be surprised. Even a younger chimp could probably tear apart the strongest man on the planet. We ended up being so pathetically weak and lacking the acute senses that many animals have. Yet we are the Apex Predator, above the water anyhow. Probably for the same reason why Orcas rule the sea, lions can hunt much larger game than tigers, and wolves out hunt bears. Teamwork, baby!
It is safe to say that every wild Chimpanzee will be gone in 50 years
That is very sad to think. I think I prefer them to humans tbh.
not true in the slightest. ignorant fool
@@harry.flashman Too bad you won't die with the chimps instead of those poor toddlers and babies. If you prefer chimps to humans, you should die for them instead.
@@robinlillian9471 You just asserted my point. You naughty monkey.
@@harry.flashman wut?
HUMAN ANIMAL IS WRONGLY ACCUSED POOR ANIMALS PLEASE LEAVE THEIR TERRITORY AND LET THEM ENJOY PEACEFULLY THEIR LAND
please do the same, leave your city to the squirrels or other animals that were displaced when your people settled there
