This site supports Primate Rights

I would like to affirm this site's Commitment to Primate Rights. I have not only joined PETA, I am also an honorary member of the Orangutan Movement.

As I did before, I welcome you to come to California! However, I would also like to point out that our weather here is not like a jungle:

The first instance [of tool use by our large cousins] was observed last October when a female gorilla (nicknamed Leah by scientists) attempted to wade through a pool of water created by elephants, but found herself waist deep after only a few steps. Climbing out of the pool, she retrieved a branch from a dead tree and used the stick to test the depth of the water.

In November, a second female gorilla (named Efi) used a detached tree trunk to support herself with one hand while digging for herbs with the other hand. She also used the tree trunk as a bridge to cross a muddy patch of ground...

You embak'was (yes, I do know a few words of your language, thank you) are certainly doing quite well for yourself! However, I really don't think the weather and the natural environment here would be much to your liking. I'm just thinking of you, that's all.
