| Another place that helps the great apes. This program more...centers around the local people and educating them about the great ape. YOUTUBE DESP: When the Cameroon Wildlife Aid Fund asked for a video showing what money raised on its behalf was doing to save gorillas and chimps, we spent a month filming at its primate sanctuary in Africa. less |

This is a documentary about the treatment of the red more...ape in Malaysia. This video has some images that maybe disturbing to some viewers. PLEASE BE ADVISE. YouTube description: October 2006
By some estimates, Borneo's vast forests are being cleared faster than the Amazon. Unless something is done now, Orang-utans could be extinct in 20 years.
The practice of bulldozing everything to make way for palm oil plantations has left Orang-utans without their customary habitat. "Palm oil is totally destructive. They're cutting down every single tree", complains Lone Droescher-Nieslen from the Orang-utan Survival Foundation. When the forests disappear, Orang-utans cling to any stump in the cleared land, unable to understand their homes are gone. It's left to charities to rescue the apes before the plantation workers kill them. Lone hopes she can rehabilitate the Orang-utans back into the wild. But if the rate of deforestation continues, there may soon be no forests to release them into.

I was told in a YouTube comment that chimps and other more...apes should be treated the way they are treated because, they are breed into the industry. WHAT??? They are taking from their mothers at a year old from these trainers. The only way to control the ape is to beat it...YES TO BEAT IT or electroshock the ape with a training collar. WARNING This video is upsetting but, it will make you think. I hope this makes you angry enough to make you think before you watch a t.v show, commercial, or movie with great apes in them. Because, they can not be tamed.... I hope this video PISSES you off. Let's boycott SPEED RACER,
I misspell BRED though the whole video...dang it!! less |

Gorillas are Better then humans. This is very unnerving more...so watch with caution. But, watch the gorillas. Took awhile for the humans to jump in. Poor baby!!!! YouTube's description:The big Silver-back showed only concern for the wee fella, but a younger male gorilla went a bit spastic for a while. ANOTHER NOTE: This incident happened in 1986 at the Jersey Zoo in the Channel Islands. At the time, gorillas were widely thought of as vicious monsters; when a five-year-old boy fell into the gorilla enclosure and was knocked unconscious, people expected him to be torn limb from limb. Instead, the male gorilla stood over the boy, apparently protecting him, until human assistance arrived. News footage of this incident was shown worldwide and is credited by Gerald Durrell, then the zoo's director, with "help[ing] to change the image of the gorilla for ever".
