People eat chimpanzees for the same reasons people eat cows. I know it's strange in western culture but chimpanzee's are animals, some cultures need to eat them to provide the nutrients they need in their diets.

Some people eat chimpanzees because it is all they have to eat. Other times, people eat chimpanzees because it is part of their heritage.

They hunt them for either "bush meat" (i.e. sustenance), or they track them down to sell them as pets or medical test subjects.

Humans hunt them for "bushmeat." They are also hunted to be sold to zoos, biomedical research labs, and the entertainment industry.
