Fall Out Boy has offended and disgusted me, and not just with their music!
Hi-You all know that I am an ape keeper and that I love chimps especially. I am strongly opposed to the use of great apes in entertainment and I was shocked to find out about Fall Out Boy's sickening video for 'Thanks for the memories'. The info below is from my friend and fellow ape keeper Kathy. Please check out the video and if you have time three great sites;
www.chimpcollaboratory.org
www.primatepatrol.org/
www.janegoodall.org/chimp_ce...nment.asp
I'm not asking for you to donate time or money, just to read about all of this, and decide for yourself what you think is right. Chimps are so special to me and if I can make them a little special to at least one of you, then I'll feel a bit better. Cheers!
Vegetarian, animal welfare activist, chimpanzee exploiter... what? Fall Out Boy's new video uses as many non-human primates as possible to create a thoroughly disgusting product which includes implications of bestiality. These chimpanzees are not domestic animals that enjoy being dressed up and acting. They are juveniles, taken away from their parents at a young age, and placed in retirement, often at research labs, for the last forty years of their life. See the altered video which explians the exploitation of chimpanzees by the entertainment industry:
