Farah makes friends

Three months ago a frightened little 10-month old chimp arrived at Mefou Sanctuary after being confiscated from an ape trafficker. After weeks of round-the-clock love and care, Farah has been introduced to three new friends, who will form his new social group.

    It's so precious to see how his first friend kissed him and hugged him. They are smart and sensitive animals and need love to feel happy. Thank you for caring for these precious orphans. God bless all the people who help these innocent youngsters.

The babies are so supportive of each other, and find comfort in each other's arms. Lomie keeps kissing Farah, and little Farah hugs and treats Lomie like his mother. May God be with ALL of you!

    Try to imagine a completely alien being coming to the sanctity of your home and all of a sudden violently murdering everyone you know and love. The grabbing you and throwing you in a cage and taking you somewhere around a bunch of other alien beings that make noise from their mouths and move their bodies in ways that is extremely bizarre and unfamiliar to you. I shudder at the thought.

    Very good explained!!! I always think like that way if humans hurt animals. And I try to explain this in this way to other humans if they are not compassioned enough to the suffering of animals. When I explain it in that way the suddenly understand it much better how it must be to the poor animals.
