Alemão died because human vanity is stronger than any other feelings. And everyone, from Mayors to Politicians and zoo people, who used Alemão for their promotion and to human entertainment, does not mind this tragedy. But we care and will denounce them wherever they are in the country and whatever position they assume, because they do not deserve any consideration.

Alemão will be the symbol of our fight to take all the chimpanzees who still remain in zoos and can get crazy due to the public exhibition. Alemão did not die for no purpose. The tragedy we had announced two years before happened. He did not want to live anymore, for his life had no means at all. His illness was not physical or physiological, no matter the technical reports published. He died of sadness, abandonment and disgust, like many others before him who did not have the chance to go to a sanctuary to live with their equals.

World and Brazilian society must know what zoos do with our brothers’ primates. They explore, mock and submit them to the harassment of an ignorant audience, without any compassion for these beings with whom we shared, millions of years ago, evolution and that have become our slaves.

May Alemão rest in Peace!
 
“ALEMÃO’S BODY MUST BE BURIED WITH HIS EQUALS”

We are asking officially IBAMA, the institution responsible for the destination of the body, to give us Alemão so that he can be buried with their equals at GAPProjectCemetery in Sorocaba.
