It really does seem that way doesn't it!! I don't think they will get through ofcorse.

these animals are more human than humans

Sometimes people help them :)

That is interesting. Why do you say that?

but i think these humans are more humans than us ! :)

Primates are fascinating animals their intelligence is outstanding

your words are also outstanding :D

God bless these people who are helping this gorilla. Cause nowadays people are destroying the forest and in this case, these people are helping this gorilla. God bless this good people.

Agreed ! they are more human than us !

As a human being , we should do like this.... If we don't show care of them it will be disgraceful....... God bless them all the creature in the world..

They are like people.

Good work and nice 💙💙

Really nice right? At-least it is a positive occurrence

Thank goodness there are loving humans on this earth . My full admiration for them .

So Sad

It is heart warming to know people care about animals this much!

awesome photo, same like a injured human..

agreed they are caring that animal as if he is a human !

Well it is nice that animals get medical attention since honestly some need it in many cases. We have destroyed nature now we can hopefully heal it.
