“they hunt and kill other monkeys” implies that bonobos are monkeys. They are not monkeys. They are apes.

Uh.. maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events, but the Congolese natives consider the Pygmy to be an enticing delicacy.
Plenty of records of testimony with the UN documenting the practice that is way too common.
Sorry to bum you out. Google up cannibalism, and "congo."
Cannibalism was also common in Liberia back in the nineties before outside forces stopped the fun:

So chimps eating monkey's isn't an anomoly. It's in our dna.

Bon appetit
