In the early 1980's there was a National Geographic special on primate researchers who spent 3 years literaly living with orangutans in Borneo. 10 years later they went back and found the orangutans suffering from the following diseases: yaws, leprosy, tuberculosis, dermititis, alopecia, and a textbook's worth of other illnesses. Where did they get them from? A BUNCH OF IGNORANT PRIMATES CALLED HOMO SAPIENS.

Sad, yes. But in the longterm viewpoint of evolution, this is only granting the orangutans stronger genes to fight off more disease.

No it doesn't. The chimps don't have the same immune system as humans. Most likely that whole group will die off, and since chimps don't naturally travel very far, they probably won't spread it to other groups of chimps. Secondly, why would chimps need to fight off more disease? They've been doing nicely on their own for the past 200,000 years.

Why does anything need to happen? It just does. And life goes on.

That is pretty sad, but they do seem to care a lot about their own kind.

Ignorant fool...
