I have never seen a chimpanzee this nervous and unhappy !! Gatz acts like he is breaking down. This is a tragedy. A young healthy chimpanzee should be enjoying life . This zoo has broken so many lives . 😔😪😢 Thankyou for letting this situation be known. I get so angry and sad ,when hearing this but we need to be aware this goes on . I wish they could make a break for it ..😣This is a horrible prison !!
PETA appears useless, but I forwarded two of your videos this one and the racetrack one to save the chimps and another chimp rescue and asked them to forward it to anyone who may be able to help if they can not. 💗

Wow, I'm astonished. The people in charge at the zoo allowed Furt to have another inbred child, not but a year after their failure to keep the previous one safe, resulted in death? Not only that, the director of the zoo feels he has the power to publicly say which animals can live or die? What a blatant disregard for animal welfare. I followed the death of the previous baby chimp and it was heartbreaking. I've also followed your videos outlining the zoo admininstrations complicity through failure to act when the animals needed it most. I have a hard time believing this director is of sound mind and judgment, regardless of their station or title. How can someone stay employed in such a position after displaying such incompetencies again and again. The fact they removed the mom and baby this time is great but far too late. She shouldn't have been given the ability to become pregnant by direct family members in the first place. Allowing it a second time in a year is outrageous. How many dead baby chimps will it take for them to make the systemic changes needed to ensure animal safety? I'm so sorry you have to witness this first hand, but at the same time, you are clearly the animals greatest proponent and I hope your work will create the change needed to allow these animals a peaceful and abundant life. Please keep us updated.

I think there are a certain number of people like this, but the local citizens and zoo officials who exalt them to those in power are the most ignorant and the ones who cause problems.

@GreatApesZoo I absolutely agree, many people directly and indirectly involved in the lack of care for these animals, are complicit. It would likely take major staffing changes to effect positive change. That being said, it has to start somewhere and the management with the most oversight should be removed from their positions and then methodically work your way down the list of employees. Often, people want to do more or do better but are constrained by the directives of a superior. Thank you for your efforts. With individuals like you in their corner, there will always be hope their lives can improve.

I am sorry I might not be able to watch it. It is late at night here. Thank you so much for helping the animals. This director needs to be removed from his position. Would the newspapers help and do an article? Other zoos? This zoo and the poor animals at the race track is so brutal and cruel. And, also the other one. Thank you, thank you thank you. 💗

Thank you for trying to help these animals as much as possible. Keep contacting newspapers, politicians, animal rights groups etc. Do whatever it takes. People need to be aware of this. I would even contact the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and bring this up with them. I would even go as far as to even contact the Prime Minister and even the Emperor.

@@GreatApesZoo Keep trying. You could also reach out to some great ape sanctuaries about this. One place is Monkey World over in the U.K They have rescued hundreds of primates from bad situations. Maybe they could step in and rescue these chimps.
I just looked up PETA International for Japan. But, beware sad photos although they got a company to stop testing could they help? YT doesn't allow me to post link. Maybe give them the three zoos that are so bad? 💗

It’s been said several times but I still want to offer my thank you for the work you do on behalf of these beautiful animals. Captivity in general is cruel and disheartening…add inhumane living conditions and poor treatment by those in power and you now have a torture scenario. Living on the other side of the planet I feel helpless in my desire to see changes made, all that I can offer at the moment is my verbal support and gratitude.

Hi GAZ. I’m darkly curious about the animals in this zoo. Is it possible for the visitors to give food to the chimpanzees? Of course they can’t provide the necessary, regular meals but visitors can provide peanuts or fruit for them occasionally? Something is better than nothing at this point. I can’t stand to see anything go hungry. Just a thought.

Thats very sad ,the zoo must invest in a bigger outdoor area and indoor area ,these homes need to be together in a environment that is capable to cater to their lifestyle and if they don't want to do that, they need to give them to another zoo or sanctuary

This is so sick and sad at the same time this is just terrible
PETA Asia has a website where one can contact them. Also a FB page. Again, hard photos. I don't know why the director won't learn new ideas. 🙁 I did watch the video. Just rushed through parts. This is appalling. So terrible. Can the mayor of the city do anything? Are there donors to the zoo that might have some pull? Who funds this zoo? Is there a zoology department at the University? They might have some ideas. Be good to yourself today. 💗 Editing to add, could you send this video to the tv stations, city hall? Can you send things to the royal family like in England you can write them (their office replies) His mother should have been put on birth control - basic animal husbandry. They are losing hair because of poor diet? Poor fellow.

I stopped the video. I can’t watch this. This is beyond evil. What about contacting Gabriela Cowperthwaite, the lady who did the Blackfish Documentary? Maybe somehow she can help. This turns my stomach. She’s just a plane ride away!!!!
