Chimps kept in cramped cages for 17 years play for the first time

After 17 years of extreme suffering, Utah and Mungo were finally rescued by PASA member Limbe Wildlife Sanctuary. After intense rehabilitation, they are playing with each other for the first time! Now it's time for Utah and Mungo to be placed in a large semi-wild enclosure at PASA member Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Watch their journey! pasa.org/ limbewildlife.org/ www.ida-africa....

WOW SO AWESOME!!! I bet that’s the first time they laughed!!! Their old cages were way to small how horrible it must have been for them. Thank u for saving them.

[@Lnzinorbit]

I know this is at least 2 years old but as I watched it I felt like crying. I'm glad they were rescued.!

[@misskimpegues]

Thanks for doing the job you do seeing them playing and laughing has got to be the best reward you could ever get for saving their lives

[@debbierabe1756]

How terrific. So many animals need rescued and fed and cared for.

[@angiedillman7963]

From one chimp caregiver to the next, you guys are awesom💚

Made me cry.

[@MagicsMoney-uv1de]

Seriously? This should make you cry In cages is where these vile disgusting creatures belong. Your doing the public a huge diservice by pretending these dangerous violent animals are just these sweet playful teddy bears. You have an obligation to also show how absolutely vile and dangerous these fifthy creatures are. This is such a waste of valuable resources on these useless creatures that should have been euthanized a long time ago..in Unganda they kidnap children and leave them dead and mutilated on their families front steps. They are the groins and hands off a man and his family whose car was stranded next to a group of these spawns of Satan. These animals are horrible and I cant wait until they are hunted into extinction.

[@deborahcustance2754]

How do you put thumbs up and cry at the same time? I hate they went through such suffering. I am so grateful you fought so hard to save them.

[@maureenm8462]

I think people who kept them in cages should try their cages see how they like it for a year

[@janelashure7676]

Maureen m ....don't you mean 17 years?!

[@Ivan-oi8un]

Love the video!! That female at 0:25 has an unusually wide eye set it's weird, or maybe it's just her eyes

[@Natta37964]

[@heathercole7564]

Why did it take so long for these chimps to be rescued ? It’s disgusting such cruelty🤬

[@christopherfranklin4760]

I heard one of them say "your butt is uglier than my butt."

[@jyesucevitz]

obviously, their situation is heart wrenching. God only knows how many more like them out there. i could be wrong, but at around 1:10 to 1:20 when they're kinda playing patty cakes. their playful motions i'd swear are something they would have learned from humans. i just dont recall that hand and leg hand slapping they were doing is how i've seen several surrogate moms play with them. that was just the 1st time i'd seen chimps do it by themselves. i'm probably making much of nothing. Chimps, i can only speak 4myself here. though i never did these horrible things to you and neither had anyone in my family going back generations. doesn't mean i cant say how sorry i am about the way you and all those like you were treated. brighter days are coming.

[@bspaet]

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I'm the kind that i would have just drove them in the cab of the truck in the seat so i didn't have to put them to sleep again..lol i'm sorta kidding but i know these chimps wouldn't hurt a person, not one who helps it.
