  1. This video only makes me feel sad and ashamed. We humans are the most deplorable….evil species on earth. Nothing but sadness and pain….that’s all I feel watching this video. 💔😔😔. They are better than us….and they deserve this beautiful planet more than us. Everything we touch we destroy….everything we see , we think is us to take and damage it. We deserve everything that’s coming our way….

  2. How could humans be so cruel

  3. Humans are sick. They don't deserve animals

  4. Research labs. If only the videos of research were available for the public.

  5. The atrocities we commit on animals is discusting

  6. Why would anyone be so cruel caging an animal for 28 years 😢😢😢❤

  7. Jesus they are beasts. Who keeps centian bien caged up for whatever amount of time

  8. Humans are terrible,..
    If it helps, One consulation I can remember says;
    "When the Native & the Horse came together, it was like two long-lost Brothers, finding each other again"..a'ho.

  9. He said, 'Whoa!' 😂❤

  10. All animal testing needs to STOP!

  11. Ok so now its time for everyone involved in this animal being caged. Its their turn to see how they like being locked up for 28 years. Heartless pieces of shi*, I wonder what was gained from this.

  12. Im glad that she is free, but aint nobody going to question what kind of research was done??

  13. It’s a beautiful site to see the sky! Thank you for helping them get to a place where they can be free to roam. ❤ I do wish the company would be exposed. The humans that did those horrible things to animals should live in fear. I wonder if they go to church and think they’re going to heaven.

    Who saved these beautiful souls and how did they find a place for them? ❤

  14. What place had her locked up for 28 years and why are we not talking about this god-awful place

  15. 😢💔 our species is the worst

  16. That big hug just got me for some reason

  17. Aww that is awesome!!!

  18. Dang they were really hugging each other. There’s definitely a soul in these lives right here.

  19. EVIL? IF ONLY PLANET OF THE APES WAS REAL. And I mean it. NO AMOUNT OF NEED FOR RESEARCH/CURE🤮. They are doing pig hearts for humans in transplants for research. ALL WAS DONE TO EACH LIFE RACE OF HUMANITY till inhumane/civil rights laws to prosecute & we actually let Animals go thru it as if it's not in our history of enslavement/servanthood. Humans used to eat other humans as well. 🙏& TAKE ACTION for the Animals & our Earth. As long as there exist an obvious inferior foreign life they are given unto the same until we end the cycle. Try your best to give up animal products or anything made from the labor of them. As long as such remain people with $ can manipulate. It's an addiction of anyone's inability to stop eating animals flesh and ITS NOT YOUR FAULT. THEY NEED TO BE SUED LIKE THE CIGARETTES ETC.

  20. It's like when humans die and transition out of their bodily cage to reality 😅
    Everyone is in awe when they cross over and are always reluctant to return to incarnate back on earth 😅

  21. Stop using animals for experimentation. There is no no need for it. Selfish, selfish humans
