A triumphant rescue mission makes the world an even brighter place. Animals in captivity should not be overlooked — especially wild animals who are victims of smuggling and illegal poachers. People also need to consider these animals feelings when separated from their families. Taking them away by force traumatizes them, and no animal deserves to experience those dangers. Most importantly, the innocent young ones who are captivated still can’t survive without their family. Animals deserve much better than being taken advantage of by inconsiderate humans.

For that reason, rescue mission stories have an immense contribution to society. One successful rescue mission story is trending on the internet, and it touched the hearts of many people. The video was tweeted by a Twitter page named, Buitengebieden. Chimpanzee siblings were the star of the viral video — not because of their usual hilarious antics, but about a heartwarming reunion. They were separated during captivity; thankfully, they were both safely rescued. The two chimpanzees were brought to a recovery site for immediate medical checkups. As soon as the two recovered well, both were given a chance to see their loved ones again.

They could not help but share a warm embrace when they recognized each other. It was a long hug, and the sibling pecked for a kiss. Their separation anxiety and fear of the unknown were banished by a tight hug. Twitter users shared their sentiments about the chimpanzee sibling’s reunion — remembering the fact that, like humans, animals can also feel emotions. The video served as a reminder that animals also have families and a place they call home.

Due to the heartwarming content, the video has already reached over 5 million views and thousands of engagements. Two innocent young chimpanzees melted the hearts of people from different countries. A 10-second video made a huge impact and made millions of people remember the responsibility of human beings to animals. Humans should protect animals and respect their lives — always remember to not inflict danger on them.
