Ape does not eat ape
. . . I still find it hard to get upset by the thought I may have munched something as sentient as an ape.
Ohhh Straggler. How disappointing to read that you wrote that. Gorillas, chimps, and many other endangered animals in Africa (and the world) face a bleak future. If not for yourself, at least I hope you can instill in your newborn (congrats by the way) a stronger value for the world's shrinking wildlife.
Alas, I also eat meat and wear leather. So I won't browbeat you further, lest my own hypocrisy is hoisted on its own petard. But maybe you can read some stuff from my fav animal photographer and activist, Karl Ammann. Check out the gruesome photos:

BTW, I am a member of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. And I have tickets to see Jane Goodall (famed chimp primatologist) in Toronto April 8:

(Err, I find primatology fascinating. )
