DOROTHY THE CHIMPANZEE~DO ANIMALS GRIEVE?

DOROTHY THE CHIMPANZEE~DO ANIMALS GRIEVE?

Dorothy The Chimpanzee
"Chimp funeral.  The group was silent and embraced one another.  This is not "normal" behavior for an animal."
For 25 years, Dorothy was chained to the ground to entertain amusement park guests.
In May of 2000 she was rescued.

"When this female named Dorothy died of heart failure, all the chimpanzee family came out of the forest to say good bye..... the most stunning reaction was a recurring, almost tangible silence, reported staff at Cameroon’s Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Centre. If you know chimpanzees, then you know that they are not usually silent beings. I think it’s beautiful how many of the chimps are touching each others’ shoulders."
