Still Waters Posted February 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yet while computer generated imagery is now good enough to create realistic looking animals on screen, some movies still employ actual non-human primates. Regardless of how these animals are treated on set, the reality is that they’re being placed in unnatural environments and made to act for other people’s amusement against their will. What’s more, there’s evidence that using real primates on screen actually encourages the illegal pet trade. It’s estimated that more than 3,000 great apes and hundreds of thousands of other primates are traded as pets and bush meat each year. https://theconversation.com/putting-primates-on-screen-is-fuelling-the-illegal-pet-trade-91995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
