I actually don’t think they made the right call and whomever wrote this article, began it by planting a seed in the readers mind that these chimps are killers and will maul people on first contact.
Of course that will make you think that they did the right thing, but is it actually true that no person interacts with these animals directly across the world?
It sounded to me like sheer ignorance and complete lack of experience of the people who worked there. I don’t blame them seeing as how they are located in the middle of nowhere, and having the right people at hand might not be optimal, other than one of the other women who actually had connection with the smart chimp.
But that woman was denied entry. And yet she was probably the only person who could have accurately judged the situation for what it was as opposed to “what it could have been”.
