Oh my days, that is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. It also rips my heart to shreds that they were locked away in the first place

That precious chimpanzee looked up at the sky is if he just met his maker!!!

I cry out of happiness every single time I see the look in the eyes of this beautiful

I refuse to pay attention or waste my time or emotions on the bad things that have lead to this moment and SOLELY FEEL THE LOVE AND HOW MY HEART EXPLODES WHEN I SEE HIS AMAZEMENT!!

It is just SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!!

I can honestly say that this is one of the most touching moments I have ever seen online!!!

The way they hugged each other! Then the look of amazement to see the sky

[cherylb]

Vanilla, I feel that same awe every time I look up into the sky. I am glad you get to see it. Beautiful, isn’t it? I wish you joy in your freedom.

I’m sad and happy watching this video. It’s awful anyone could do such terrible things to animals but it’s great to know Vanilla is finally somewhere where she’ll be happy, healthy and safe.

28 years in solitary. That's only one torture that chimp took.

[joanrawlinson]

Happiness is a blue sky, for this beautiful being, wishing him many more years of beautiful blue sky,

[miguelalvarado]

Absolutely heartbreaking and awesome to see Vanilla free, free at last, as MLK famously said. The hug is pure joy. Vanilla looking at the sky seemed to say Wow.
These precious souls have no free will to choose like we do. Close that evil place and stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of these innocent children of God.
May God's love be with you, Vanilla ❤️
Thank you for the love you brought my way ❤. To this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen ❤😢.

All chips that are caged right now MUST BE SET FREE!

This is genuinely heartbreaking. So much of their lives was stolen for the ego of mankind

[karenthomas]
