Chimp & See Talk

Unlocking the Cage documentary

  • MimiA by MimiA scientist, moderator

    Since we are talking about nature documentaries I thought I would point out this one which is some thought provoking stuff and dips more into animal rights/animal welfare but which of course has consequences for conservation:

    and if you get hooked, check out: http://www.nonhumanrightsproject.org/

    Full disclosure: Not everyone I work with supports this initiative, this is my own view/interest so my views here are my own and don't represent the PanAf/Chimp&See as a whole 😃

    That's really interesting stuff - it makes me want to try and track down the full documentary to see how he gets on. Whenever I see people with such a passion, it always makes me feel cross with myself for not being more proactive - it's just too easy to fall into apathy, despite best of intentions.

    Thanks very much @MimiA looks good, quiet a conversation so it is. Looking forward to it though.

    I think @Batfan you are being super proactive. Giving up your time to help out these guys, not only sorting through clips, but getting involved in talk and starting conversations that wouldn't have started. Most people have a little cry at the TV when the charity ads are on, send on a few notes then have a snooze and forget it happened. Everyone on this project, in my opinion, is more helpful than most people out there. Giving up their time and having an interest.

    Thanks @squish5. Apologies if I sounded like I was moaning - the winter always gets me this way. Once the bat season starts (bats are my particular 'thing'), I'll be so busy that I won't have time to moan.
