===As pets=== Chimpanzees have traditionally been kept as pets in a few African villages, especially in the [[Democratic Republic of Congo]]. In [[Virunga National Park]] in the east of the country, the park authorities regularly seize chimpanzees from people keeping them as pets.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7839819.stm |publisher=BBC News |title=Gorilla diary: August β December 2008 |date=20 January 2009 |access-date=28 April 2010 |archive-date=5 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090205031918/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7839819.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> Outside their range, chimpanzees are popular as [[exotic pet]]s despite their strength and aggression. Even in places where keeping non-human primates as pets is illegal, the exotic pet trade continues to prosper, leading to injuries from attacks.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chimpanzees don't make good pets |url=http://www.janegoodall.org/chimp-central-pets |publisher=The Jane Goodall Institute |access-date=1 February 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150202195221/http://www.janegoodall.org/chimp-central-pets |archive-date=2 February 2015}}</ref>
