A sad, moving and in some ways disturbing video was released this month, showing a group of Laboratory Chimpanzees seeing the Outside World for the very first time. Their shockingly Human reactions strike a chord in the heart, as they hug each other for support as they enter this brand new Environment.

We all know Chimps are not far off being Human, so why are we still treating them as a much lesser species?
We all hate torture of Humans, but why do we not care so much about torture of our Primate relatives?
The life of a Chimpanzee is full of small pleasures. Freedom, swinging through the trees and Family. Why then, do we find it so hard to treat them fairly, and instead lock them in labs and Zoos?
When will we realise it's not just Humans that count? I fear that these wishes will not be granted soon enough.
