Chimp Rescued From Horrible Conditions Finally Set Free Thanks To Her Brave Savior

Her new home is at a sanctuary located on Tchindzoulou Island on the Kouilou River. You may be able to imagine how excited Wounda was to be able to get out of that crate!

But, instead of dashing off as soon as the door was opened. Wounda waited. The time she had spent with her human rescuers had touched her – it meant something to her.

Wounda wasn’t going to be able to just leave without saying a proper goodbye.

For those of you out there who think animals don’t have feelings or can’t understand things – this is for you! Grab some tissues and watch the emotional goodbye! What a powerful moment!

How amazing it would be to live with the knowledge that you helped save such a loving and intelligent creature!
