Yes, I think so!
They have plenty of game meat out there, without resorting to eating beautiful apes.

Bush meat is usually eaten by very poor people or is sold in the local markets as that person's main source of income.
While I hate that these people are killing apes, you can't address the problem by merely making a law to outlaw eating great apes. Hungry people don't follow laws.
After you have enacted a plan to feed these millions of people & give them jobs, then the need for this law will be greatly reduced.
I'm with you, I hope the apes are saved also.

Crossover viruses like H.I.V. are doing the job. Sadly aids is already killing major percentages of many African countries. Even if African countries wanted to stop the trade in "bushmeat", they do not have the manpower nor the resources to do it.

Think of it this way-cows are sacred in India to some. How do you think they perceive Americans eating cow meat? I would rather hope that they would not eat these animals, but it is true, who are we to tell them what to do and what not to do? Maybe if we look at the reasons they are eating them, for example-if they are starving, well then maybe we could give them something else to eat, like cows.

Do you want people to pressure you to stop eating cows and pigs and chickens?
Personally, I hope humans will be saved. If it's their food source, what do you expect them to eat?

We should pressure, but we should provide them with other sources of protein. Pressure alone would not work unless you give and immediate alternative.

If we favor to give up us of a, we ought to ought to attack them. they don't hearken to us. They requested to invade a rustic, were given a veto from the Benelux, France, ... and wanting to do it on their very personal. So except we went to Iraq with our personal military to forcefully give up them from invading, we do no longer have any impact. the in ordinary words element we are able to do is say 'we are going to no longer promote to you' or 'American import ought to have larger taxes'. yet then there'll be a backlash... . do we manage that? Our political leaders determined lets no longer. So why are we unable? because we do not favor to get into conflict with the U. S.. or possibly we are able to not. The Nato consists of usa of america and Europe - maximum international places haven't got an 'military' of their very personal any extra. also, we've had some disadvantages: even as the ecu international places were struggling with between themselves contained in the first part of the 20 th century, usa of america became transforming into. even as we were attempting to get alongside - it extremely is fairly complicated simply by our distinct backgrounds, cultures, previous, languages, and the occasional malicious application - usa of america became transforming into. And, also, remember, all of us remember on usa of america. Painful simply by the indisputable fact that is to say. After WW II funds cost became linked to the yankee dollar. Wall highway crash. And now they're in hardship back in usa of america, and wager what? we are having vast losses besides. we are tied to that continent by employing marketplace. What first minister is going to placed all our prosperity on the line? it ought to have advantages contained in the destiny, yet he'd lose the subsequent elections. contained in the accurate, with the exception of our inner issues, global marketplace and military-difficulty, we are nevertheless governed by employing human beings that're in essence egocentric. Politics is no longer something you do because you've an perfect. that is a job.
