Yayyyy.
I figure with all the bad news in the world, isn't it time for some #upliftingnews?!! :DD
So this video is heartbreaking, and will make you cry with joy all at the same time.
Like prisoners emerging from a lifetime behind bars, a group of chimpanzees step blinking into the sunlight.
This is the first time they have felt grass under their feet and breathed fresh air for 30 years.
A few of the chimps were born in captivity but most were kidnapped from African jungles as babies and flown to Europe, where they were locked in metal laboratory cages to be used in a long series of experiments.
Their ordeal finally ended in September 2011 when 38 of the surviving chimps were released into a sanctuary in Austria called Gut Aiderbichl, allowing them to feel the nurturing contact of their fellow chimps after years of being separated by bars and bullet-proof glass.
The best moment for me is 1:20 onwards, when they are very carefully coming out of their enclosure and seeing sun for the first time, they hug each other. :D
Let's not forget our lovely animal furry friends and try to treat them with respect and dignity, like they are our own family. Animals can teach us all a lot, only if we listen.
p.s I don't want whale votes - I want whales. I just want people to love animals more. Too much cruelty in this world. I am glad Australia has stopped the greyhound racing industry after mass graves were found and animal cruelty videos surfaced on the web. Goes to show that the power of the web goes much beyond we can ever hope for.
