While I was never an adult during the true "wild west" of the net, the fediverse is probably as close as I'm going to get.

Today I want to talk about one of the most famous apes that exists, Kanzi the bonobo. While not as popular as Koko the Gorilla, Kanzi is a key figure in the story of ape language research.Born on October 28, 1980 (He just celebrated his 42nd birthday a month and a half ago!), At just 5 years old he began work with researchers on ape cognition, specifically if apes could learn language to some capacity. After a few years, he & his sister Panbanisha were relocated to the Great Ape Trust, where he continued working on language skills with Sue Savage. This is where he was filmed the most, some of the videos are on youtube. He was even on the Oprah Winfrey show in the mid 2000's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Myl142PvH8&t=1343sSadly, Sue did not treat Kanzi well. He was severely obese when first relocated to where he lives now (The Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative). On top of this, there were allegations that Sue mistreated Kanzi by hitting him. One claim even said she threw, or left, boiling water around and Kanzi got burned by it.Now he spends his days in a sanctuary with other Bonobos, still doing some language research, but mostly spending time with other bonobos at a sanctuary. Which still isn't ideal, but he could never be released in the wild again. There are an estimated 10-20k bonobos left in the wild, and they only live in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They will most likely become extinct in the next few decades at most thanks to multiple factors, including: Bushmeat trade/consumption, war, poverty, slash and burn farming, logging, disease, lack of local awareness.

Ooh something controversial!Personally I think that even if a baby gestating is "a bunch of cells", that doesn't really nullify what the end result is in fact going to be, a person. Some people see abortion as a personal right or liberty, but I still can't get over the concept of one person's liberties being more important than the liberties of the to-be person. They are ending a life without the terminated party having a say. Obviously, the baby can't speak on its behalf, but one would assume it wants self preservation.I definitely think all life is sacred. Then again, I think even some animals deserve legal rights and personhood, so my opinions on the matter are definitely skewed. Now obviously, there are times when abortion has to happen to save the life of the mother. Or the baby just can't be born properly, due to a myriad of issues. While it's depressing as hell, that's a completely different subject and I don't have any issues with that.

>I hope I'm not too harshOh no you're fine! Yeah it's definitely an issue when it comes to actually caring for the kid. I'm really into true crime and fucked up cases, so I'm pretty familiar with how bad things can get, especially for a kid born into bad situations. Really I think the ideal scenario is if foster and child care systems were heavily reformed and made safer, but realistically, I don't think that's ever going to happen or it would have by now. I don't think any country has figured that part out yet.Also, I definitely agree about men stepping in more to help. Children need all the support systems they can get for the best chance in life, and absentee fathers (mentally or physically) throw a huge wrench into family dynamics and children's lives.

So besides all the points I said, I did have one turning point in my own life that led me to be pro life. And that was my mother telling me at one point, she was considering aborting me, but decided not to. Realizing that I almost never existed really made me reconsider what I used to think about the entire issue.

Well the only alternative is killing myself to not eat anything or use the earth, but obviously I believe in life and self preservation so I'm going to at least lessen the impact I cause while I live. There's a million other things I need to do to really make a positive impact ecologically while on this Earth, I'm learning constantly, but this is an entirely different topic.
