Coming up at 10pm, Nicholas Owen will have a full round up of the days news. But first, our world. Baby chimpanzees, just a few months old, seized from the jungles of africa to be sold as pets. Its a shocking and illegal trade. Animals that are our closest relatives in the Natural World are suffering terrible losses. To get one infant chimpanzee out of the jungle, all of the adults in its family have to be killed thats as many as ten adults slaughtered. We infiltrate an animal Smuggling Network that spans the globe. During a year long investigation we went undercover. Two months . Are you still able to follow . We discover that there is far more trafficking than the authorities suspect. You may find some of the scenes in this film disturbing, as we reveal the secret trade in baby chimps. Ourjourney into an underworld of Animal Smuggling began in cairo. For centuries, egypt has been one of the worlds great trading centres. Ground floor. Going up. Posing as buyers and filming secretly, we found two dealers who said they could get us baby chimpanzees. They sent us videos of the animals they had ready. Pitiful sights of infants, recently captured and now destined to be pets or kept in private zoos in the gulf states and asia. But once they grow too big and strong, they are killed or dumped. It was in cairo that we learned how the smugglers operate. There is an international treaty, called cites, that aims to stop the trafficking of rare wildlife, but for the right money, you can obtain one of its official export permits. And one dealer, mahmoud khaled, claimed he could get hold of a cites permit enabling us to export chimps. We paid khaled a deposit. He checked it in his pet store. Publicly he deals in birds. Secretly he was offering much more. Two weeks later, we met him to collect the cites permit. And here it is, an official Export Document falsely filled in and illegally obtained. It seems to be signed and stamped by an official in the government ofjordan. And it shows our address, which was fake. A basic Internet Search would have shown that. The trafficking of chimpanzees. The price . 20,000 each. And these were the animals we were being offered. Khaled told us they were ready for shipping, but then something went wrong. Khaled got nervous and the deal was suddenly off. But we werent going to give up. Our focus shifted from the middle east to west africa, to ivory coast one step closer to the source of the illegal trade. The egyptian dealers had always said that the chimpanzees would be flown out of here. In the end, that never happened. In a video he sent us, he shows a crate, specially designed for wildlife smuggling. Animals that are allowed to be exported act as a cover for a chimpanzee hidden inside.
