Woron was the last baby chimpanzee rescued by Tacugama before the Western chimpanzee (subspecies) was declared Sierra Leone's National Animal in 2018, becoming the first great ape in the world to be so recognized.
This segment was filmed at GLOBIO Programs Partner Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. Visit globio.org/about-globio/where... to learn more about their amazing work rescuing, saving, and caring for chimpanzees, and their national education and conservation work.

Apes Like Us (under GLOBIO) and our partner programs in no way support the exploitation or trade of primates in any capacity (whether legal or illegal).

"No more chains." Now THAT'S a statement that can be used for an campaign against the illegal pet trade worldwide!
Well said.....and so very true.

Yes, jeffery!
A lot of zoos keep Them on chains it’s so disturbing
Much love and respect for the people taking care of our threatened relatives.
That caregiver gives off such caring vibes
When he tells him no more chains it brought tears to my eyes thank God for people like this
❤❤❤🤗😥
Yep, that's when it hit me. Poor little fella.
yeah, no more chains, just a f**king cage
@@oldmanonamission8055 Hopefully after his months of quarantine and veterinary care there are some fun trees, protected and safe sanctuary freedom, and other chimpanzee's for him to play with, for the rest of his life :) Keeping him in a cage like a zoo animal, or circus animal, or "personal pet" situation, etc., would just be cruel.
You should thank the people rather than your favorite diety.
It made me want to cry with sadness when I saw his little face and body as he came out of his cage but made me cry with happiness to know he is safe and cared for with a real future ahead of him 😁🙏
Its so depressing to see their homes destroyed. I can't imagine the trauma they go through. Thank you for what you do. I hope Woron is enjoying life now.
Dear little soul. He looks so scared and apprehensive! And that bloody freaking rope around his neck. Dear God, what kind of monsters could do this to a living, loving animal? Thank you and blessings to rescuers and caregivers. ❤️
And that rope was sooo tight..another few months and that would have been embedded in his neck..these people disgust me..he was being rescued but he didnt know that..you could see the fear in his face still..lets tie them up for yrs feed them rice live in their own excrement and lets see how they like it..an eye for an eye..#karma
The gentleman who cut the rope continued to reassure him there would be 'no more chains.' That was so tender and so caring; thank you, sir.
Because they grow up to be poop slinging psychopaths. Of course it’s going to be scared around a bunch of new people it doesn’t know
When Bala said to Woron "no more chains" I must admit that was the powerful moment I have ever watched.
Yes, at that moment I almost cried
@@MARTHA.Patito I did
I felt like Woron understood what Balance was saying.
Poor, sweet baby. I teared up as he was walking from the cage to the rescue center. I was thinking he's probably never walked so far in his life and how frightened he must have been not knowing what was going to happen to him. But he was brave and walked like a big boy. I hope he's doing well these days. My heart breaks for all of the great apes who have been so badly treated and are now so endangered. We humans owe them so much more than what they have gotten from us. It's going to take eternity to try to make up for damage we've done.
Michelle Abbott, after reading your wonderful comment, there's nothing left for me to add.
I couldn’t of said it better myself.
Well said
You should check out faces of death. They kill and eat a monkey brain.
@@youtubesucks2575 thats fake
Thank you to all at the sanctuary and rehabilitation centre, and especially mama Po, you all deserve a big medal for what you are all doing for the chimps. MAN is the beast here !! Thank you all ❤️🇬🇧
Just those few words NO MORE CHAINS boy that hit me i wont lie 😪😪 such powerful words for all animals captured and chained up. Thank you for what you do for these chimps ❤
You and me both! I cried like a baby when he said it! What a hero!!!
It’s so sad how people miss treat animals that are so intelligent
I agree 100%. What I have noticed about myself over this past decade when it comes to animals I have genuine emotions from deep inside like you have with your child, its a wonderful feeling. When I comes to most humans, not all I feel emotionally numb or annoyed.
Then I see the news and how we treat each other......smh
@@jamesblunt2014 Yep,when humans have no regard for their own kind,why would they give a shit about poor animals.
@@genxreactions I'd like to chain those cruel people up and see how they like it
It's a shame how all animals r treated
The words of, “no more rope, no more chains” really hit me hard. This man and his fellow staff are doing everything they can to help these poor animals.
I felt so happy and I cry went his said no more chain no more chain because he's now free ❤️🔗🐒
And he gently patted him as he said it..probably the first bit of kindness he'd ever been shown..
Given his tragic background, it's surprising little Woron was brave enough to follow Bala, without resisting or pulling back on the rope. "Where am I going? What will happen to me next?" Poor little soul. Thank heaven for all of you who rescue and care for these precious babies.
I love that man, the one who removed the rope from Woron's neck. I love that he talks to Woron, acknowledges him as a living being, treats him with respect.
Thanks for saving this beautiful fur baby..And all the other innocent apes your sanctuary saved..
No more chains, i cried, honestly. Love to all, thank you for Worons new life.💓👍🐾
This baby is really calm
OK made me cry! Thank you for the unbelievably important work you do and thank God for gentle Mama Po! She is an Angel on Earth!
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER " NO MORE CHAINS" AMEN
He is literally gliding as he went down the path as if hovering. I got chills
Thank you for saving this Chimp cousin of ours! I could feel the rope around his neck and the relief he must have felt after the rescue. Thank you for protecting the Chimpanzees…
It’s so sad how people treat these beautiful babies and all animals. They don’t deserve to be treated like this they deserve love and affection by their family members. Not being locked up and tortured. It’s bad enough they had to watch what they did to their families so they could take the babies. Thank you for rescuing these precious animals now they will know what it’s like to be a Chimpanzee.
How wonderful is this. Enjoy sweet chimp and much thanks and love to all involved
How I'd love to hold them. Thank youuuu for rescuing them and let them free. Animals deserve all our love, we don't realize how lucky we are to share this planet with them.
They're the jems of jungle, have family life, emotions like human beings. When he removed and shown the rope and he murmured to him no more chain, how calm and maturely appreciating him! Omg, the way they cut, soon people that area will be orphaned. Thanks to recovering, rehabilitation teams who are treasure hunting the jems and reinstate humanity.
Thank you so much for your appreciation of great apes and for watching our channel.
Such a sweet little guy. So trusting
Worn is so sweet. A tear fell from my eye when he said no more rope. I am human once again.
What a sweet forgiving little being. Love & take care of him.
Thank you to Mama Po and all of the rest of the staff that make this important miracle possible ! To those who have more than you'll ever spend on your life ! Donate to this organization please! ❤
Thank you for your kindness towards the animals
@@ApesLikeUs it's or duty to take care of our Primate brothers and sisters!
Amen to that request 🙏
Yes, like most watching this I cried when he said 'no more chains'! Beautiful little chimp will now receive care and compassion for the rest of his life. Thank you, all who do this amazing work.
Thank you for your compassion!
Love how these men just work together. Its amazing. We must stop these countries from selling off land to people who do not care .. we have to for our planet, for our lives, and their lives.
Thank you all so much for saving this beautiful little baby now he will have his freedom and be well looked after may god bless you
great people doing a wonderful job with caring and devotion
Bless these babies 😢 treat them with the repeat they deserve!!! They dont and must not be caged and tired up, let them free to enjoy life. Those that inflict such pain and suffering i hope you never sleep at night with peace
“NO MORE CHAINS” those 3 words gave me cold chills and tears 😢
Same here. Thank you for watching and for caring about apes.
PRIMATES ARE SO FASCINATING!! I love to watch videos on the Monkey parks in Cambodia. I LOVE ❤️ APES LIKE US😀 It seems to me like they have to many Monkey Paparazzi filming in there own environment, they’ve gotten to the point where they tormented and abusing the monkeys just to have a blog. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!
Bala. What a wonderful man who speaks to this poor small and fragile baby. « No more chains » Thank you so much Sir, I love you for what you are doing with your heart and precious soul. God bless you too dear Mama Po, what an Angel you are !
Thank you for your kind words. You may enjoy our podcast episode with Bala. You can listen here: talkingapes.org/posts/bala
Continue helping the helpless ❤❤❤
For a place with a history of so much grief and violence, it's heartwarming to see love and compassion.
Bless ALL who are making these rescues possible!
I can only cry for them, and hope for the best.
Thank God for people like these. It gives me hope for the human race. Thank you!!

It is sad how human greed and total lack of compassion will eventually cost hundreds of species. Thankfully due to sanctuaries like this some can be saved. Thank you for your critical work, passion and commitment.
