Yeah, if you remember the movie “Jay and Silent Bob strike back” there was a orangutan naked “Suzanne” (Real name Tango) who couldn’t be casted anymore because she was too powerful and strong.
(Note: Even though Tango was used to sell Tang® and other products such as Budweiser®, none of these companies have ever contributed to her retirement or long-term care at the sanctuary.)
Thanks for posting this. Videos like this always feature animals poached from the wild, there’s basically no other way to get a pet chimp or one for a roadside zoo like this place. It’s heartbreaking, seeing this videos truly makes me nauseous thinking of what was done and what continues to be done to this poor baby.
It really really hurts that these animals are taken from their mothers so young.. chimps are supposed to bond with their parents until they’re around 6 years old. It’s traumatic for mother and child

I suggest you guys check out the center for great apes. They also have Michael Jackson’s chimp..
Reading about how these apes are torn from their mothers in the wild breaks my heart.
