Boi these aren't wild they won't survive they don't know what the outside is they were born in the zoo and feel safe. Now they do get agitated cus their not pets either their raised with their own room and small environment that makes them feel safe. Stop acting like we stole them from the wild. In any good zoo they should inform that they will not act the same in the wild and you can infact go on wild safari viewings. They are dangerous but alowed as long as you stay in the vehicle you even have to sign and if a Karen gets out your no longer their responsibility those aren't zoo kept or pets their wild and can and may killing. While zoo kept aren't as aggressive if you dont agitate them

Putting it in that environment is cruel, especially since it doesn't know how to survive alone or around wild animals of it's own kind. It's own kind would kill it or leave it behind because it's grown and can't seem to help the pack or herd if they even travel in groups, if not you just threw something that's gonna look around think its all pretty then get scared cus it doesn't know what's going on and die.

@The Dapper Fapper You're drawing a completely arbitrary line between humans and animals. Gorillas and chimps are our closest cousins in the animal world, so it's not very far fetched to assume a lot of similarities. There has been a shit ton of research into the emotions of animals and it's been shown many times that almost all mammals feel the same emotions, have the same hormonal systems and share most of the same kinds of internal organs. Their brains have the same fundamental functions and structures as ours and research on humans has shown that facial expressions are universal and independent of culture. There is no reason to believe that this wouldn't extend to the great apes as well. Again, you're drawing an arbitrary line between humans and animals that isn't supported by any scientific findings.
