The Life Story of Cindy The Baboon

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my channel.

I'm very excited to share with you the life story of my Sister Cindy, the 29 year old rescue baboon. My parents took her in when she was just a couple of weeks old as she was found by farmers, without a Mother. This was 5 years before I was even born, so we've literally grown up together.

The video has lots of old photos of Cindy for you to enjoy and really get to know my beautiful Sister. I love her more than words can say and am so grateful for all the love and support she receives from you too! May she have many more years left yet!

Ruben 🇳🇦

*None of the animals featured on this channel are pets, they all live a natural life outside (no cages or captivity) where they feed on natural food around our farmstead just like it should be 👍

I watched this while my 20 year old cat is sleeping in my arms. He also sleeps a lot now and I am so grateful for every moment.
You are wise beyond your years.

This dude is a living testament of kindness; must have been raised by great parents. Admirable!❤

It's so beautiful to call her your sister. She really is.

I used to think baboons were ugly but Cindy won me over. I think she’s beautiful. Thank you for taking care of her.

This man is doing God's work in Africa. Bless him and his humanity.

There's nothing wrong with getting emotional. You love her

[CathyPasdiora]

Your mother is a saint. Not only raising Cindy but having twins at the same time. Beautiful story. Am so glad I found your channel. ❤❤

Can you imagine being a lost little baby baboon, and being brought into a family that will love you forever no matter what. Baboons live hard lives in the wild, and Cindy was blessed with a family who has given her a beautiful life. 29 is an excellent age, I think she’s keeping strong and healthy because she’s a secret tea drinking Brit. I’m so glad she’s still around, that you’ve had this wonderful unique relationship with her, that you got to make memories together. Baboons get a bad rep, but Cindy is a baby.
Thank you for sharing your story, and I wish you all only the best in life.
Also your mum, is an angel.

I’m a 34 year old dude, tearing up, alone in my apartment watching this video. I love Cindyyyuy

I'll admit it. I teared up when he said "I'm gonna get emotional... "I sure did...❤😊

What a polite, smart, handsome and charismatic young man. You can tell a lot about a man by the way they treat animals, and it's evident that he has a lot of compassion. The Afrikaners are such lovely, warm people. Truly the salt of the earth type of people. I have watched every video and every short on this channel by now and it fills me with pride and hope seeing such kind and caring young men.

The world would be a better place if more people understood, accepted, respected and appreciated animals the way this guy does. Much respect brother

Thank you for sharing her life with us! My heart broke a little when you were thinking about her not being there with you! She is so precious and is your life! Don't worry about being emotional as Cindy knows how much you love her! ❤

[samiehayes]

Love the story w/Cindy hiding w/her toes sticking out under curtains. Thank you for giving her a beautiful life!!!

[ArseMoriendi]

For all those that said that the internet would be a bad thing- here we all are to prove them wrong. People from all over the world brought together, emotional and teary-eyed at seeing the beautiful life that this lovely baboon has lived. If only more people were like this family- selflessly adopting baby Cindy and becoming her troop. This family and the people here that adore this baboon from afar…you give me- the most cynical of cynics, a small glimmer of hope for humanity.

[alankelly-hamm]

This is humanity at it's very finest. This kind of mutual trust is rare and beautiful.

[joncheek]

The fact she sits with you this entire video and doesn't walk away or make any fuss shows how much she is apart of your troop. Very cool channel! You got a new sub!

[ritapraino]

You had kind and patient parents to teach respect for animals, no matter what kind. This has made you a kind and compassionate young man!❤

[nedsantos]

I'm so grateful that people like Ruben and his family are among us. Many animals who are helpless are safe because of them.
May their lives be filled with light, love, and peace.

Cindy has lived such a long and happy life because of the love and care you have given her. If the world was full of people like you and your family, it would be a happier place.
