NEW YORK – “Together the monkeys are stronger,” says the adage coined to give themselves courage by those Wall Street investors, mostly very young, who prefer to follow the advice of a broker to those they find online.

Well, in less than a week, GameStop and others have paid those who protect our distant ancestors, be they baboons, orangutans or gorillas, about $ 350,000.

Environmentalists said they were “surprised and moved by these donations that have come down to us from those who invest in WallStreetBets. We thank them because saving the gorillas means saving the planet ».
