I know right?? When has anyone ever seen a child that looked anything like that? If a woman gave birth and a chimp emerged she would be horrified and rightly so...
To make that work you would need to live at theyre forest home in africa and have like a open house for those you build a relationship with. But america or europe? Nope that always goes wrong. Whitout theyre freedom they all turn aggro sooner or later.
Your lives with chimpanzees seem very complicated and a most worthwhile endeavor. I understand that chimpanzees are very dangerous animals, and never to be taken for granted. I think you’re doing a kindness for these creatures. Thanks for the video. 😅
Love and respect other species. Let them be whatever they are. The planet is not just for humans, and these animals have their right to grow happy with their own. Thank you for continuing educating. I hope less and less people keep them as pets and stop ruining their lives.♥
Think about what an angry pitbull can do. Now imagine, "What if a pitbull was four times as strong as a large human male? AND it had hands and near-humanlike intelligence?" Nightmare fuel, bro. And it's high-octane.
I don't find chimpanzees cute. I find them eerily similar to humans and I don't like it. Lol. Creeps me out too even. I prefer cats and dogs as well as most of all, horses. I still don't understand why people want chimpanzees as pets. Or also, large pythons and boa constrictors. To even crocodiles and alligators. Tigers and lions. Bears. What the actual f*ck.
Her place is horrible for those Chimps. Small cage on cement. She needs to take a look at Monkey World in the UK. Big beautiful enclosure with grass, with a huge climbing platforms plus the keepers constantly coming up with new entertainment. Poor things at her place.
In fairness chimpanzees might not adhere to human morality but I hate it when people call them evil. True, they kill their own, but chimpanzees also can form loving bonds. They care for the crippled members of their community, exhibit loyalty. Females can adopt babies who aren't their own, males sometimes adopt orphaned babies too. Chimpanzees are capable of beautiful emotions.
There is a factor common to both chimp attacks and orca attacks on people. As far as I know, it is only captive chimps and captive orcas that have been documented attacking people. Biologists who study purely wild chimps in the jungle have never been attacked, that I know of; and wild orcas have not been known to attack people, that I know of. When you force a wild animal to exist in an environment that is not its natural home, this can bring out pathological and sometimes aggressive behavior.
Wild chips attack people frequently, especially children. Dozens of children in Uganda have been killed or maimed by wild chimps. One man over there, when he was a little boy was playing with his baby brother when a chimp came and grabbed the baby. The brother tried to save the baby, but the chimp tore half of his face off before killing the baby and eating him. They are dangerous under all circumstances. When Goodall was studying them, they had to build a special double cage for their son; a cage within a cage with the space between the two cages longer than the reach of a male chimp.
I have o ly heard of 1 attack on humans in wild by chimps when 2 men were attacked , I think one died but will have to try and find video again. Never heard of a wild Orca attack on humans.
I hear all sorts of animal attack stories, but one chimp rips a lady’s face off and everyone is traumatized. It’s almost an evolutionary thing, fear of “the others”. I imagine being fearful of apes and other species of hominids kept us alive way back when.
i think its also that they are smart enough to act with malice. a chimp's intention is more than just to kill, they will castrate you, bite your fingers off and wear your face. And yeah, we spent the majority of our history in competition with other hominids and have an instinctual understanding that our "level" commits atrocities on a different scale than the rest of the animal kingdom. Most predators just do what is necessary but intelligent creatures have deeper motivations like revenge, hate, dominance
Well, think about it, by the time of Kadanuumuu 3.6 Million years ago the human lineage apparently won it's first war, vs Chimps. Defeated, they were ever after limited to West Africa, while the human lineage with projectile weapon capability, ruled East Africa and because the land bridge to the rest of the World is in East Africa, the human lineage evolved to the modern form and spread all over the world.
Well you see the results of predjudice and racism today. People kill eachother on an organized scale over things that are superficial, or because they both believe in a different version of the monotheistic death cult that has expanded all over the globe.

Are you kidding? That's such an ignorant statement! There's no such thing as a bad dog there are lots of bad owners! Pit bulls are only as dangerous as the person who raises them. These dogs have the worst reputation and it's only due to stupidity they are highly sensitive and very intelligent. Because of this they require a dominant owner someone who is able to be the alpha but that is how anybody who knows anything about training dogs is and it's why their dogs are so obedient.
I so beyond disagree about your statement about pit bull dogs. I own a 5 year old red nose and he is so beyond a wonderful dog. He is friendly to everyone and even other dogs he doesn’t even bark at other dogs if anything he will cry wanting to play with them. And I have a 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter and he is so friendly and loves kids. My niece brings her twins that are 2 years old and he is beyond friendly and loving them also. All pit bulls are not bad as people think. It’s all how they have been raised. Mine listens to everything I ask him to do.
@@elliedaniels2245I think chimps are more dangerous, but my daughter who was almost killed by my ex brother in laws sweet pitbull last year might disagree. She is lucky to be alive.
She's incorrect about the strength of Chimpanzees 10:30 Read "Chimpanzee super strength and human skeletal muscle evolution" which indicates Chimps are about 1.35 times stronger than human beings.
Contrary to what you might think, go ask the caretaker of Bruno the chimp and what that animal did to a person, Limb from limb. He ways over 275 lbs and is approaching 6 feet. Try him.
They're way stronger than 5hat. They run faster than olympic sprinters, and they run up trees, swinging from branch to branch a hundred or more feet off the ground, and it's easy for them. They also have fangs.
it depends on what type of strength you are talking about. but strength and endurance combined is what Chimps have far far greater than any human. and there is no way they are only 35% stronger. id like to see how those tests were conducted.
I absolutely love what you are doing. Animals were free as they have ever been during covid restrictions. It was the only way that it should be. Cages are horrible for Animals.
You realize if it weren’t for zoos we’d have a lot more extinctions right? Do you have a better idea? Are you going to Asia & Africa and fighting poachers and/or offering them better paying work? No. You’re just randomly complaining with no perspective or solutions.
My pulse was a beating like _a drum at a high school homecoming parade_ from 0:34-0:55. You _know_ at _any_ moment, _no matter_ how _purportedly_ well trained, those chimps would go all _Gordy’s Home_ on her.
Those two chimps we're very young. I could probably take em on and I'm not super strong. But maybe it's just that I'm not super intelligent. But more importantly, I never got how Lucille ball was supposed to be so damn funny
@@paulnejtek6588Lucille Ball wasn't just funny she was groundbreaking and shocking and wicked smart. In context of the time she lived in she was really extraordinary.
@@jessyvalentine7492 with what admittedly little I know about her that's probably all true. The few episodes of her show I watched , I didn't get it. That's just my own opinion which doesn't mean much but I'm just curious what other ppl see in it. Although, admittedly,nuts kinda hard to say WHY you find something funny
@paulnejtek6588 Different era, generation, culture. Unless you were a WW2 generation, maybe earlier Boomer generation USA person, I wouldn't expect people of later generations to be amused by her silly antics.
Back in 1978 my best friend Felix and myself had a plan of sneaking into the Bronx ZOO to steal a baby chimpanzee, we had a map of the zoo that are giving out to the visitors, we had the map and a bolt cutter. we were gonna sneak in at night and go to the chimpanzees cages to take a baby chimp but we changed our minds. now at my age of 60 years old, I was thinking that we would haved gotten mauled or even killed by the chimp's mother along with the other chimpanzees. Wow that would have been our biggest mistake. We even had built a cage and had bandanas and fruits but we would have been caught by our parents and other friends if we had gotten away with that crazy mission. Those chimpanzees would have erased us from the planet lol but thank God we didn't go through with that crazy idea.
This sanctuary keeps them in cages? How is that any better…they need to go to monkey world, a fabulous place for primates where they’re allowed outside into a big enclosure with climbing apparatus, etc…
That’s what chimphaven is. It’s like 300 acres. Each enclosure is absolutely massive. If you were inside them you were think you’re in the woods. They have troops. It’s the closest thing to being in the wild you can get.
It makes me sad to see wild animals in cages. Humans are by far the worst predator. At least with a Lion you die. You don't languish in captivity for decades.
Honestly, if you are going to all play that 911 call w the womans adult chimp attacking her friend, TELL THE WHOLE STORY. She raised him from a baby w her husband and two kids. He was passed maturity living like a human (not enclosed) never aggressive. Within a MONTH her husband died and shortly after the kids in an accident. So, shes grieving, obviously he must be but he didn't see them pass. So to him, they just are gone. How does he express any of it? My guess is her BFF who did know the chimp showed up. She had been walking towards him and the owner. She threw him a new toy. He pounced. I believe thinking he was protecting his only living family member. They maim immediately to prevent injury in the wild. After he was stabbed and shot multiple times he ran. He was found under his blanket head on pillow, in his bed. It's devastating for everyone involved and it's why they shouldn't be raised as permanent toddlers. They aren't killing machines, but they have the rep because of shows like that. 20 attacks recorded in the wild. It's not for us to take an animal w that brain, and capacity and decide we are its alpha. Chimps rarely attack owners, but if it attacks they all kill the same.
@@musablue I agree. I don't believe they should. It's unfair to an animal of that capacity and if something happens everyone pays dearly. But they shouldn't be portrayed as some kind of apex human hunting predator, because it's false.
I really can't understand why ppl would think it's a good idea to have chimps around you or your family especially a child. But ppl want attention so bad they will risk all.
This place was Maybe reasonable 10 years ago but I think we can do better by those animals that gave up so much for us. You would think NASA could maybe chip off a few bucks to take care of them. They shouldn’t be anywhere near a private zoo.
No primate should ever be a pet. Don’t tell me you give them a better life, no human can replace the structure of natural family and group they would have in the wild.
Gorillas are similar in that they also do not want to be held captive. I think they recognize and understand when many people look at them, and it seems they do not like it. Something in the way they look tells me they do not like it.
You can say this about any wild animal not uniquely to chimps. Wild animals should not be pets but in certain cases they cannot be released back into the wild due to animals learning human behavior by observation. This is a duh conclusion and redundant. The conclusion here applies to many wild animals.
But far less hesitant, have tougher ligaments and bones, sharper everything. And way angrier, plus they have a height advantage. most people think being tall is an advantage, but not if its a wild animal going for your soft areas
Keeping big wild animals in cages is just plain wrong. I once had pigeons in a hut that I built and the pigeons could fly out and roam the sky as they pleased. They would always come back through a little hole on the roof. Each one had a little nest they would sleep in. I guess they simply felt good to have a home and nice dinner every night. 😃
I don't need other humans, I would do much better without them. Now give me that nicest apartment on the planet with that view. And get all those other humans out of my sight.
Chimps and humans are similar yet extremely different. A smile to a human is nothing like a smile to a chimp. Humans don’t understand chimps enough to keep them as pets. Those chimps in the cage are literally going insane, you can see them. I’ve seen videos of chimps killing their enemies and cannibalizing their corpses.
Every time I hear about that woman getting her face ripped off, somehow, I learn something new about the case. This time, I learned her hands had been torn off--I'm sure I never heard that before. Anyway, I think it's terrible that it happened, but at the same time, I think it took something horrific to get lawmakers to get involved...and stop people from having them as pets. I've heard other awful stories about chimp attacks, and they're all pretty bad. It's intelligence that makes humans the most dangerous animal, and ignoring a powerful animal's intelligence is a good way to find out the hard way how dangerous they can be. I've kept cats nearly my entire life--they're not nearly as intelligent as apes, but they aren't stupid, either. They, too, make plans and get revenge (my father abused the cat he'd brought home for several years...then, after he'd kicked him down the hall one night, the cat went and left a pile on my father's side of the bed...no accident, that...heh).
This happened in Connecticut. It was a story that caused changes in exotic pet ownership. The woman calling the police, long time owner had previously called her friend (Charla Nash) to help her control the chimpanzee. It was an older animal and I believe as they get older they get more aggressive because of hormonal changes. They’ll even kill fellow chimps. Charla’s mistake was thinking she could help handle this strong animal. The police were called and dealt with him but not before the friend suffered horrific injuries. Since then, she’s had a face transplant and lost her vision. A heavy price to pay for being a friend to the ignorant owner. Sometimes just say no, “I’ll call the police fir you. “
Those poor chimps at the start is just terrible how there treated as pet only to realise how something that small could have such strength. I'd rather be friends with a lion then a chimp cause lions like loyalty were chimps just want to.... I don't know what?
Animals are not here for the entertainment of humans. Unfortunately humans are so selfish they put unnatural demands on wild animals and expect a show. I feel so sad for animals in zoos that can't live a normal life. We also infringe on animal habitats and kill animals when they eat crops or attack a human that is living on what was once their territory. It's really a shame.
When I look in to there eyes it ant the same as a turkey. They have a sense of who they are. I almost see a human staring back. One scientist said that they could be looking into your soul or maybe they want to eat a bug they see on your shoulder.
While you may be saying all the good you are doing for these Chimps I do not see much difference in the cages they are in now to the cages they were kept in It does not look like these poor guys have any room to get any exercise at all For Christs sake people Is that it ...them in those cages? Or are those few frames of them in a yard like atmosphere what they really have to move about? Instead of talking about what you have done for these Chimps Why can't you concentrate on giving them some Damned Room to get about You can learn al lot by looking at how Monkey World In Dorset England gives their Chimps Freedom of Movement Instead of sitting there and glorifying Yourselves about What you have done for them
Donate to them so they can have the money to improve their facilities. Many of these rescues have to rely solely on donations and all the ignorant people that adopt monkeys and them dump them onto a sanctuary when they become dangerous don't pay the sanctuary to care for the monkey. Now the sanctuary is responsible for all the costs incurred and the stupid person that thought getting a monkey was a good idea just walks away.
The thing is if you take a step back and look at everything as a whole we humans created ALL this it’s a mess all these animals are ruined they will never have a normal life ever they are not in their normal habitat where they are supposed to be it’s sad they should NEVER be kept as pets ever they are wild animals….
We dont get pets for their sake. I have a dog. If I "wanted what's best for her" I'd bring home every one of her brothers and sisters and her parents so she can have a natural pack to live with. ...no one does that, does it mean we hate dogs?
There are those out there who still think it cool to keep wild animals,be it chimps,tigers lion's,only animal's who couldn't survive in the wild,is it acceptable to be in captivity,and only then in a natural and vast environment,with access to large open space.
Tigers are safer than the animals you mentioned including a pitbull. Out of thousand pet tigers all the ther attacks have been from sarcas abuse revenge
People say Chimpanzees are so cute cause they look like humans when we all should be terrified of them cause they act like us too.
I think they're ugly, however they are amazing animals.
they are ugly and very violent after they hit puberty
Yeah, I bet _Amon Göeth_ looked cute when he was a baby, also
Look up ‘Charla Nash’, and see how ‘CUTE’ they are😢
They are not pets. They don't deserve us f'n with them and we wonder why they go crazy on us.
It is so hard for me to believe that anyone would look at a chimpanzee and think it would make a nice pet.
I 100%agree. I also cannot believe so many think they look like human children.
I know right?? When has anyone ever seen a child that looked anything like that? If a woman gave birth and a chimp emerged she would be horrified and rightly so...

Chimps have a strong bite force as well. But they’re smarter, can climb, and have four functional limbs.
I legit think chimps are evil, like humans. As in they have malice, wrath, and the need for revenge. Yeah, you wouldn't want that in a pet
They are horrible animals when fully grown and extremely dangerous. They have many of human being’s worst faults and few redeeming features.

The way SOME humans treat their fellow animals is nothing short of monstrous.

it depends on what type of strength you are talking about. but strength and endurance combined is what Chimps have far far greater than any human. and there is no way they are only 35% stronger. id like to see how those tests were conducted.
That's ridiculous. Plenty of humans are 1.35 times the strength of an average human, but they can't swing in the tree and rip your face off.
@@JA-gx4hbGood point
I absolutely love what you are doing. Animals were free as they have ever been during covid restrictions. It was the only way that it should be. Cages are horrible for Animals.
You prefer it when we was caged 😂! People that love animals more then humans have severe problems
Do you know how many more species would be extinct if it weren't for breeding and conservation programs at zoos?
You realize if it weren’t for zoos we’d have a lot more extinctions right? Do you have a better idea? Are you going to Asia & Africa and fighting poachers and/or offering them better paying work? No. You’re just randomly complaining with no perspective or solutions.
Animals shouldn’t be in cages & wild animals aren’t pets.
Life isn’t Disney.
I want to become a chimp whisperer! 😂😂😂😂😂 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Great people doing great work.
My pulse was a beating like _a drum at a high school homecoming parade_ from 0:34-0:55. You _know_ at _any_ moment, _no matter_ how _purportedly_ well trained, those chimps would go all _Gordy’s Home_ on her.
Those two chimps we're very young. I could probably take em on and I'm not super strong. But maybe it's just that I'm not super intelligent. But more importantly, I never got how Lucille ball was supposed to be so damn funny
@@paulnejtek6588Lucille Ball wasn't just funny she was groundbreaking and shocking and wicked smart. In context of the time she lived in she was really extraordinary.
@@jessyvalentine7492 with what admittedly little I know about her that's probably all true. The few episodes of her show I watched , I didn't get it. That's just my own opinion which doesn't mean much but I'm just curious what other ppl see in it. Although, admittedly,nuts kinda hard to say WHY you find something funny
@paulnejtek6588 Different era, generation, culture. Unless you were a WW2 generation, maybe earlier Boomer generation USA person, I wouldn't expect people of later generations to be amused by her silly antics.

This was a wonderful story about Chicago.
😂😂😂😂I'm from Chicago, you are spot on!!!
Back in 1978 my best friend Felix and myself had a plan of sneaking into the Bronx ZOO to steal a baby chimpanzee, we had a map of the zoo that are giving out to the visitors, we had the map and a bolt cutter. we were gonna sneak in at night and go to the chimpanzees cages to take a baby chimp but we changed our minds. now at my age of 60 years old, I was thinking that we would haved gotten mauled or even killed by the chimp's mother along with the other chimpanzees. Wow that would have been our biggest mistake. We even had built a cage and had bandanas and fruits but we would have been caught by our parents and other friends if we had gotten away with that crazy mission. Those chimpanzees would have erased us from the planet lol but thank God we didn't go through with that crazy idea.
This sanctuary keeps them in cages? How is that any better…they need to go to monkey world, a fabulous place for primates where they’re allowed outside into a big enclosure with climbing apparatus, etc…
That’s what chimphaven is. It’s like 300 acres. Each enclosure is absolutely massive. If you were inside them you were think you’re in the woods. They have troops. It’s the closest thing to being in the wild you can get.
They behave like criminals in jail 😮
It makes me sad to see wild animals in cages.
Humans are by far the worst predator. At least with a Lion you die. You don't languish in captivity for decades.
the chimps you see in these old shows are baby or juvenile chimps.
Notice how they are babies if they were adolescents oh boy
Many problems in society are caused by women's misplaced maternal instinct.
Honestly, if you are going to all play that 911 call w the womans adult chimp attacking her friend, TELL THE WHOLE STORY. She raised him from a baby w her husband and two kids. He was passed maturity living like a human (not enclosed) never aggressive. Within a MONTH her husband died and shortly after the kids in an accident. So, shes grieving, obviously he must be but he didn't see them pass. So to him, they just are gone. How does he express any of it? My guess is her BFF who did know the chimp showed up. She had been walking towards him and the owner. She threw him a new toy. He pounced. I believe thinking he was protecting his only living family member. They maim immediately to prevent injury in the wild. After he was stabbed and shot multiple times he ran. He was found under his blanket head on pillow, in his bed. It's devastating for everyone involved and it's why they shouldn't be raised as permanent toddlers. They aren't killing machines, but they have the rep because of shows like that. 20 attacks recorded in the wild. It's not for us to take an animal w that brain, and capacity and decide we are its alpha. Chimps rarely attack owners, but if it attacks they all kill the same.
They should never be pets.
@@musablue I agree. I don't believe they should. It's unfair to an animal of that capacity and if something happens everyone pays dearly. But they shouldn't be portrayed as some kind of apex human hunting predator, because it's false.
They are killing machines.
Travis was also on Xanax and had been drinking wine
Travis knew the lady he attacked, she has been around him many times. That's why she called her to help get him back inside.
Well done!! 🎉🎉
I think there is a population of wild ones in the south
I never liked chimps. I'd much rather have a Pitbull, Doberman, or Rottweiler.
I believe both an anaconda and an Alligator are quite bad to.
I really can't understand why ppl would think it's a good idea to have chimps around you or your family especially a child. But ppl want attention so bad they will risk all.
A chimp can become aggressive and they are at least 3 times stronger than humans. They can literally rip you apart.
This place was Maybe reasonable 10 years ago but I think we can do better by those animals that gave up so much for us. You would think NASA could maybe chip off a few bucks to take care of them. They shouldn’t be anywhere near a private zoo.
No primate should ever be a pet. Don’t tell me you give them a better life, no human can replace the structure of natural family and group they would have in the wild.
Disgusting abuse of an intelligent species.
I guess it's just me, but I find the humans in this sort of creepy.
Gotta get out into the world some more then kid
Those cages look awful.
What about other primates?
Gorillas are similar in that they also do not want to be held captive. I think they recognize and understand when many people look at them, and it seems they do not like it. Something in the way they look tells me they do not like it.
Leave them in their natural environment
I would rather be mauled by an angry kodiac momma bear then a chimp.
In this day and age, most 7 year old humans don't have the intellect of a 7 year old human...
Such a kind man
Is this Lucille Ball in the opening?
Yes
They share 98% of our DNA but its more appropriate to point out that the 2% difference in DNA makes up 98% of what separates us.
You can say this about any wild animal not uniquely to chimps. Wild animals should not be pets but in certain cases they cannot be released back into the wild due to animals learning human behavior by observation. This is a duh conclusion and redundant. The conclusion here applies to many wild animals.
@5:40 the one in Florida is a community known as The Villages.
Captivity is the enemy real talk………. That part is so human 🎃
Actually, pound per pound, chimps are only 1.5 - 2 times stronger than the average adult human male.
But far less hesitant, have tougher ligaments and bones, sharper everything. And way angrier, plus they have a height advantage. most people think being tall is an advantage, but not if its a wild animal going for your soft areas
Family guy did several jokes about chimps being dangerous.
Did they?
Keeping big wild animals in cages is just plain wrong. I once had pigeons in a hut that I built and the pigeons could fly out and roam the sky as they pleased. They would always come back through a little hole on the roof. Each one had a little nest they would sleep in. I guess they simply felt good to have a home and nice dinner every night. 😃
I don't need other humans, I would do much better without them. Now give me that nicest apartment on the planet with that view. And get all those other humans out of my sight.
Chimps and humans are similar yet extremely different. A smile to a human is nothing like a smile to a chimp. Humans don’t understand chimps enough to keep them as pets. Those chimps in the cage are literally going insane, you can see them.
I’ve seen videos of chimps killing their enemies and cannibalizing their corpses.
Every time I hear about that woman getting her face ripped off, somehow, I learn something new about the case. This time, I learned her hands had been torn off--I'm sure I never heard that before. Anyway, I think it's terrible that it happened, but at the same time, I think it took something horrific to get lawmakers to get involved...and stop people from having them as pets. I've heard other awful stories about chimp attacks, and they're all pretty bad. It's intelligence that makes humans the most dangerous animal, and ignoring a powerful animal's intelligence is a good way to find out the hard way how dangerous they can be. I've kept cats nearly my entire life--they're not nearly as intelligent as apes, but they aren't stupid, either. They, too, make plans and get revenge (my father abused the cat he'd brought home for several years...then, after he'd kicked him down the hall one night, the cat went and left a pile on my father's side of the bed...no accident, that...heh).
This happened in Connecticut. It was a story that caused changes in exotic pet ownership. The woman calling the police, long time owner had previously called her friend (Charla Nash) to help her control the chimpanzee. It was an older animal and I believe as they get older they get more aggressive because of hormonal changes. They’ll even kill fellow chimps. Charla’s mistake was thinking she could help handle this strong animal. The police were called and dealt with him but not before the friend suffered horrific injuries. Since then, she’s had a face transplant and lost her vision. A heavy price to pay for being a friend to the ignorant owner. Sometimes just say no, “I’ll call the police fir you. “
The worst thing was it wasn't even the chimps owner, it was her friend. She was innocent, and had her life completely ruined
Travis the chimp ate the ladies face a few years back
Yall need to stop with the animals. Smh
This is sad leave wild animals alone in th wild we’re they belong
I think these chimps are no longer capable of being repatriated into the wild.
Those poor chimps at the start is just terrible how there treated as pet only to realise how something that small could have such strength. I'd rather be friends with a lion then a chimp cause lions like loyalty were chimps just want to.... I don't know what?
Do these pharmaceutical companies pay towards the rehabilitation of these beautiful animals?
Good joke
That’s not a sanctuary, it looks more like a prison.
Omg those things are so cute & funny. I bet they couldn't hurt a fly.

No, they DO NOT look like humans. Whoever adopt these animal, get what they get for being foolish and naive.
the worst predator pet you could ever ask for is human, not chimp
RIP Lancelot Link Secret Chimp
Animals are not here for the entertainment of humans. Unfortunately humans are so selfish they put unnatural demands on wild animals and expect a show. I feel so sad for animals in zoos that can't live a normal life. We also infringe on animal habitats and kill animals when they eat crops or attack a human that is living on what was once their territory. It's really a shame.
Chimpin ain’t easy
When I look in to there eyes it ant the same as a turkey. They have a sense of who they are. I almost see a human staring back. One scientist said that they could be looking into your soul or maybe they want to eat a bug they see on your shoulder.
While you may be saying all the good you are doing for these Chimps
I do not see much difference in the cages they are in now to the cages they were kept in
It does not look like these poor guys have any room to get any exercise at all
For Christs sake people
Is that it ...them in those cages?
Or are those few frames of them in a yard like atmosphere what they really have to move about?
Instead of talking about what you have done for these Chimps
Why can't you concentrate on giving them some Damned Room to get about
You can learn al lot by looking at how Monkey World In Dorset England gives their Chimps Freedom of Movement
Instead of sitting there and glorifying Yourselves about What you have done for them
Donate to them so they can have the money to improve their facilities. Many of these rescues have to rely solely on donations and all the ignorant people that adopt monkeys and them dump them onto a sanctuary when they become dangerous don't pay the sanctuary to care for the monkey. Now the sanctuary is responsible for all the costs incurred and the stupid person that thought getting a monkey was a good idea just walks away.
100% right, at Monkey World in Dorset they have at least a little taste of freedom. These poor chimps in metal cages don't belong there either.
@@CharleneOrtizTrainingno they should be returned to the wild
@@Stophatingjittmost can't survive in the wild especially the elderly test subjects
I’m sure we only saw a small part of the sanctuary and there probably are large outside areas for them to frolic in.
No offense to those who dig them, but I've always disliked chimps and clowns in about equal measure.
The thing is if you take a step back and look at everything as a whole we humans created ALL this it’s a mess all these animals are ruined they will never have a normal life ever they are not in their normal habitat where they are supposed to be it’s sad they should NEVER be kept as pets ever they are wild animals….
We dont get pets for their sake. I have a dog. If I "wanted what's best for her" I'd bring home every one of her brothers and sisters and her parents so she can have a natural pack to live with. ...no one does that, does it mean we hate dogs?
People know this but yet they continue to have these dangerous animals as pets!! No sympathy here for those who get their face ripped off !!
There are those out there who still think it cool to keep wild animals,be it chimps,tigers lion's,only animal's who couldn't survive in the wild,is it acceptable to be in captivity,and only then in a natural and vast environment,with access to large open space.
Tigers are safer than the animals you mentioned including a pitbull. Out of thousand pet tigers all the ther attacks have been from sarcas abuse revenge
Why do humans need to cage animals . I hate zoos leave them be in th wild .
Brown Bears are far worse .
Either way nothing beats a human animal when it comes to violence and brutality . Chimps arent as bad. We are still way worse 😂
They also have hard sharp nails.
Chimpanzees need Chimpanzees 😢
Bubbles did great looking after michael jackson.
Didn't Bubble become a little too aggressive playing "I got your nose". 😂
