[@denisegonzalez7407]

Such a cutie❤🐵

[@conniewolf7300]

Wonder how they relieved the pressure on her brain?

[@robpeters5204]

Anyone with an ounce of compassion will feel like their heart is being ripped out just listening to her cry from the pain. It's like watching your own child suffering.i hope she will have a good long life.

[@tammycambell5560]

Rob peters, No. No it's not. It's not remotely like my own child suffering, nor is it like your own child suffering. My child is one of 8 billion as Ty Doggo says but he's the world to me. I am glad that there are clinics like this to care for these animals but my charity dollar will always go to the children of America. You know, the ones on your street, in your town that go to school every day because they have free breakfast and lunch at school. For many, that's all the food they get. Trivia question - Except for chimps, what other animal sounds just like a human child when it cries ? Answer - A human child...listen for that cry.

[@katelynsillysquirrel3223]

[@luannduffy2218]

squirrel so if there was a starving abandoned newborn baby on the sidewalk and a baby monkey.... you're saying you would step over the baby to help the monkey?!?!

[@mosipd]

@katelyn silly squirrel I encourage you to spend that allowance on a trip to India. Not only is it a wonderful place to visit, you'll learn a lot about yourself and your position in the world. I highly recommend Mumbai as it's a place you can't miss when traveling to India. I'd also encourage you to visit Dharavi and take a guided tour from a company and see how the rest of the world lives. If you feel really adventurous, hookup with a volunteer organization and spend a day on the streets helping malnourished children. Reading about it or watching videos on KZbin doesn't do it justice. To truly understand the depths of human suffering you have to experience it, even if you're just an observer.

[@easttnlawncare6740]

Good job guys

[@sweetelle818]

I feel like digging, is so interesting to chimpanzees maybe because digging for roots to feed from is something they like

What a wonderful story, it's so great to see all these resources being poured into saving the lives of these almost extinct chimps. Humans? Not so much. If only we cared half as much about our own species perhaps the world would be a better place.

How did you get the baby from the momma ?

[@thegameranch5935]

Chimps in captivity are terrifying Wild chimps can be dangerous and aggressive but not as captive ones But if you can simulate there environment in a large cage mama chimp can hand over their child to their favorite caregiver if they are sick

Gods do not care for animals - caring humans do the work.

[@pamt7740]

@@321scully God put the animals in man's care. So of course, man has to do the work. But those who do them harm will face the consequences of their actions. Animals bred for food must be treated humanely and with dignity and respect.
