I remember when Damien took his other daughter Tansy, to see the gorillas she hadn't seen in 12 years, since she was 10. And when he took his wife Victoria, to meet them. If you haven't seen those videos they're a must watch. Very touching.

Nah, conservation is cloning that Przewalski horse to boost it's numbers and gene pool, plus restoring the Mammoth Steppe to curb climate change. That humor aside, I understand the arguments for and against zoos. It is true that they did help in preserving species. The Przewalski horse, Scimitar oryx and Red wolf died out in the wild and only survived in captivity for years. Same for Pére David's deer and European bison. Plus the classic argument of "people wanting them to get dumped in the woods and get poached to bushmeat" is quite common.

Anyone who criticizes this family for not only creating awareness through shared love and bonds for our wild friends and the amount of time, money and effort this family has provided, is either uneducated about this family or just wants to be that one person who thinks they know better or prefers to shoot them on safaris. They are not like rehabilitating other animals. They need interaction and stimulation. So caretakers must be present. Just because you imprint on in animal does not mean it is incapable of returning to the wild. What they are doing is wonderful.

I'm moved to tears, tears of joy. My fondest memories are of my interactions with wild animals. When a bird in my hand, nesting freely of its own will into my palm and turns and looks me in the eye I know I am seeing a conscious being, what the Bible calls a 'person' recognizing me as a conscious being also and trusting me. How can anyone having realized this ever disrespect another living being? A friend of mine in New Mexico many years ago taught me that when he hunts he has first to look the animal in the eye just as the animal is looking him in the eye. If the animal runs you don't shoot it. But if the animal then turns and presents itself to you it is saying it is willing to become you. They are not afraid and they do not die in a state of fear, poisoned by adrenaline coursing through their blood as those who are fleeing in fear. And the hunt itself is not an ego thrilled with the kill. A huge difference in the culture of being that so called advanced societies are so arrogantly ignore - ant of. But we are awakening in consciousness. I see it in spite of the terrible extremes of stupidity still being expressed across the globe. We are progressing but will it be fast enough to recover a Paradise of compassion, respect, delight and true Joy that your film has just shown?

This is off-topic, but there's this Silverback gorilla, named Ujiji, I'm worried about. He was transferred from Howletts / Port Lympne to South Korean Seoul Grand Park Zoo in 2012. Judging by the video clips of him he's not doing well: he has lost patches of hair from both of his arms symmetrically and now he has also lost weight. Could this be explained by anxiety or some stress-related problem or is it an autoimmune disease Ujiji has always had? Maybe he's lonely, his only companion is this older female gorilla with whom he doesn't seem to have a proper relationship.
