Environmental science experts and journalists David Shukman and Sam Piranty expose the heartbreaking truth behind the secret baby chimpanzee trade in West Africa. They emphasize the issue’s severity by applying emotional diction, imagery, and appeals to logos. The authors incorporate sympathetic words such as, “ripped away,” “victim,” and “slaughtered”. The sympathy reflects the writer’s sensitive connection to the epidemic at hands.Terms like these inflect guilt and awareness to readers. Shukman describes, “a dusty back street of Abidjan, Ivory Coast’s largest city, a tiny chimpanzee cries out for comfort. His black hair is ruffled and his dirty nappy scrapes the concrete floor as he crawls towards the familiar figures of the men who have been holding him captive.” This illustrates a captured chimp’s distress and vulnerability, thus, compelling the reader to possibly take action. The article provides visual aids such as colored sketches, photographs, and video footage. Although, the author began with sincere emotion, he shifts to delivering extensive facts and statistics about the smuggling process. They provide maps which exhibit the decreases in chimpanzee population in West African countries and the international illegal chimp trade routes. Piranty reveals baby chimp prices, poor migration conditions, and the possible results. The authors primarily employ photographic evidence to further expose their claim and successfully strengthen the argument. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-5e8c4bac-c236-4cd9-bacc-db96d733f6cf
