This section is concerned with the hunting and killing of apes for food - "bushmeat". The bushmeat killing of great apes is the greatest threat to the survival of the species in most of their African range states. It also threatens orangutans, who are already under great pressure from loss of habitat and poaching for the pet trade. It causes immense suffering in those great apes who are shot or snared, and in the infants who are orphaned when their mothers are killed.
