Julia’s comment is a bit over the top, I believe. I was on that shoot, and Louie is the kindest, most well behaved, sweetest animal I have ever seen. His teachers and handlers were very kind and patient. I don’t think she needs to include little Louie in her message – he’s no way been beaten or abused. He’s a sweet sweet boy.

The behind-the-scenes story on chimpanzees in entertainment is very dark. Baby chimpanzees used for this purpose are taken away from their mothers at birth, causing irreversible psychological harm. In the wild, chimpanzees nurse until they are 4-6 years old, so you can imagine how important the mother-infant bond is for them. Chimpanzees are very strong and cannot be trained by positive reinforcement alone, so trainers use physically and psychologically brutal methods to literally beat them into submission. By the time they are between 5 and 7 years old they become too strong to be dominated, and “retirement” usually means being cast off to a roadside zoo or other substandard facility. Chimpanzees usually live into their 60s.

I’d much rather spend time with Conan than a chimp.

Aww. You can tell Annie’s a little freaked despite the convincing thumbs up. Mandi, next time go with her for moral support and to cover the “animals” beat.

Judging from the picture, that chimp sure looks like a barrel of monkeys.

Conan. While the chimp looks charming, and I’m sure he’s an awesome conversationalist, I’m not worried about flying feces when hanging out with Conan.
