Lab chimps see daylight for first time in 30 years

[G.A]

There is a video on the source page. It's not from youtube and I'm not sure how to embed it.

It's amazing how these animals show no animosity for being held captive for so long. You can feel their joy as they walk out into freedom.


THIS is the moment a group of chimpanzees sees daylight for the first time in 30 years — after being locked in cages for medical testing.

The animals hugged each other in delight before they took their first steps outside.

I couldn't help but feel joy for those guys. Just think we'll all be like that when TPTW are taken down and we're free, too!!!
That was wonderful, GA.

Thanks G.A

I had that warm fuzzy feeling after watching that clip.

Sorry - but what makes the keepers (30 year keepers) any better than Joseph Fritzl.
It's joyful now but appalling too.
Very mixed feelings here..

The poor things look so unsure. Sometimes I think humans should be quarantined so that the evil they seem uniquely able to inflict is only ever inflicted upon themselves. Poor things, cautious of sunshine :-(

Not a proud day to be human

It's ok to have mixed feelings, but I don't think we should deprive these chimps of our joy for them. We can celebrate for these chimps now, and the save the negative feelings for the captors ;)

It looks like they have just won the lottery, what a glorious moment for them.

Well said G.A. Judging by the state of thier coats and the length of time inside I hope they firmly bit their captors ankles on the way to the door.
Stockholm Syndrome?

Human - means to be kind. REALLY. Is that what we are? Kind. Kind of what?

[Lifebringer]

man-kinda-like. Mankind is a strange word for the male of the human species, or is it our species. Sometimes I think there is something to that word.
Is it because we are spliced and now are mankind as distinguishing name for the material world. Are the TPTW the actual "mankind?"
Inquiring minds want to know.

The time when no animal experiments are ever conducted can not come soon enough. The scientist or lab tech who can switch off his/her feeling/compassion and cause excruciating pain in the name of scientific experiment, is spiritually dead. This is well overdue to finish, and I say, bring it on!!!!!

[TelosianEmbrace]

I can only draw comparisons to how we will feel when finally welcomed into a benevolent universal society. Initially it will be overwhelming, then the joy will simply flood into our hearts, never to be forgotten again.

[meeradas]

nearly couldn't take it

[Lord Sidious]

Maybe they should have let the chimps out and put the ''scientists'' in?

[Catsquotl]

speecheless........

I can only imagine that our waking up/freedom from TBTW will be as joyfull as theirs...

I wonder if the 30 years enforced sunlessness was the test. :(
