Earth Touch Yeah, that is a positive thing. It's a shame you don't see more people try to tackle the underlying issues ie: inequalities in social classes, education etc. You gotta combat what fuels the fire aswell, not just the flames
Poor Tam. My heart breaks for her. I’m glad she’s been rescued and can enjoy her remaining days. The cruel reality of what humans are capable of doing is just disgusting. It’s terrible.
AllMightyMaze Hi there, apologies for the late reply. You can volunteer at the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project in Phuket (www.gibbonproject.org/volunteer) or you can donate some money (www.gibbonproject.org/support-us).
I don't know. There is another highly social wild animal that humans kept as pets--dogs--and it arguably turned out well for both of us. I'm not advocating poaching of gibbons, but I disagree with this moralistic attitude that keeping wild animals as pets is always a bad thing. It can be bad or good depending on how it is done, why it is done, and what quality of life the animal has. Don't forget that life in the wild can be harsh and unforgiving. There is a reason that domesticated dogs have become varied into many forms and temperaments that aren't suited to survive in the wild. The reason is that we took care of them, protected them, fed them and now many genetic variations that would have died off in the harsh wilderness are able to thrive and be passed on to future generations.
Earth Touch, really enjoyed your video, I just did a video with the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project of Thailand. It's a shame what is happening to these amazing animals.
I love and wanted a gibbon. But when i saw this video, they are endgared and captured in the nature. I deside to see them on video instead. And respect to you who rescue them. But 1 question. If you organisation see gibbons ln captivity or human have then like pets, do you take them from them with force? Because you show people have them in citys. Or you can't do anything cause of the law? Thanks
I think this is wonderful, but the cages they keep them in are horrible. Why wire bottoms on the cages? Why can't the cages be attached to the ground somehow so the animals can walk on the earth instead of wire? I understand they spend a lot of time swinging from above, but it looks like they walk around a lot, too.
Caretaker: "He always has sex on the female's leg" Narrator: "Thankfully this problem is rare" lmao good to know that most gibbons do indeed know how to find the hole
I'm so grateful for the gibbons and the wonderful workers that devote their lives to these gorgeous apes. Thank you so much
Those volunteers are heroes!
I particularly liked this video. Primates are my favourite group of animals.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ethan. It is a bit of a bittersweet situation, but at least there are organisations trying to right the wrongs.

Nice to hear. I'm one of those!
great video.. i love gibbons! i want support the work of the volunteers!!!

Ok so what happens if a Gibbon takes a liking to a particular person and DOES NOT want to go back to the wild?
Photograph flashlights are too short to cause cataract, a more likely explaination for Tina's cataract is the high refined sugar in the food she ate.
Great work the rescue organisation is doing there! Is there any possibility to give support?

It's brilliant we have incredible people and sanctuaries helping Gibbons. Those poachers deserve the death penalty, no questions asked

That tiger at the beginning of the video was stunningly gorgeous...

🥺😨😰 i am so sad for gibbons.
Thanks for your video :-) Spread the message and come to visit us in Phuket !!!
The most wild cruel animal are Humans
I dont think humans are wild animals. Humans have been domesticated by their parents
Tourists should be educated on Wild Animals and Nature, especially to better considered wild Animals and Gibbons!

you did a good thing.
Porque no hacen en español
I miss my gibbon too

3:40 that gibbon looks miserable… but at least he isn’t flying on southwest
I mean when your government don't give a fuck to protect em this shit ends up happening constantly.
Poor animals and there pity face it shows everything
🤩🥰🥰🥰😍
Lol. If you are all about “nature” you should let her go into the wild and let “nature” take over.
Why people are so nasty...
Aww they so cute!! I want one as pet 😆
Feminazi Rein Francks you idiot. Did you miss the fact that this video is about the ILLEGAL PET trade???!!! JFC....
Why? These things are horrible pets!!!
With hope you were just stupidly joking
