Bubbles (the chimpanzee)

Bubbles was a chimpanzee famously associated with Michael Jackson, the pop star, during the 1980s. He was adopted by Jackson and trained to perform tricks, often appearing in media and music videos. Bubbles became a symbol of Jackson's interest in animals and conservation. Despite his celebrity status, Bubbles was a chimpanzee with natural behaviors that require specialized care. He eventually moved to a sanctuary, reflecting the inhumane challenges of keeping primates as pets. Bubbles' story highlights issues around exotic pet ownership and the importance of respecting wild animals' needs and natural habitats.
