Well, I guess they could have asked the Chimpanzees and Orangutans to rate their own happiness instead  :)
I can picture the scene :) :
Zoo keeper to middle aged chimp in zoo: How are you feeling these days?
Chimp: Trapped. I need my own space. If you really cared you'd let me go.

Contacting the scientist and the economist was great, Kikki.  :)

Wonder if the apes are eyeing up the young hipsters in skinny jeans and v neck t's and thinking "hmmmm think I'd look good in those, I'm lean legged and hairy just like the hipsters, sure no one will notice the great big middle age ape spread hanging over the waistline!"

Of course! How could they not? They’re having a MLC. It requires trying the hipster clothes, ignoring the midlife waistline!  ;D ;D ;D

Could the conclusions not be skewed by the studying of incarcerated wild animals instead of animals in their natural environment?

Yes, they could. In the wild Apes may not have traces of MLT/MLC. But in captivity… well… If I were a captive Ape I thing I would be having a MLT/MLC at a very early age…  ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D
