Quote of the day

"You bloody bastard!"

The following quote comes from a CNN.com article about bonobo chimps. In a nutshell, bonobos are gentle highly sexual chimpanzees, native only to the Congo rainforest. Numbering 100,000 in 1984, there are now an estimated 5,000 left. Their greatest threat comes from local poachers, who sell their tasty meat to restaurants.

"Our ancestors have been eating bonobos for centuries. How could they disappear?"
