Popular Post StarMountainKid Posted March 11, 2013 Popular Post #1 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This s story and video is very moving for me. Damian Aspinall may be a billionaire casino owner, but he's also the founder of The Aspinall Foundation, a conservancy group dedicated to supporting global wildlife. Among its myriad conservancy projects, its most outstanding endeavor may be that it rehabilitates and reintroduces once captive gorillas back into the wild.For Aspinall, one of those gorillas in particular, a youngster named Kwibi, captured his heart. The conservationist personally raised the animal for several years before setting him free in the Foundation's million-acre reserve in West Africa. Five years later, Aspinall traveled back to Africa in order to check on Kwibi, who was now a fully-grown adult. The following video shows their touching reunion. http://news.yahoo.com/watch-wild-gorilla-reunite-man-saved-him-video-191705855.html 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted March 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Animals have far better memories than some give them credit for.I picked up a little puppy about 2 years ago someone had evidently dumped out near the woods as there are not any homes for miles around the area.He was almost half dead when i found him i took him home got some medicine,food for a pup,and had him vaccinated.After about a month he was good as new,i then gave him to a good friend of mine and every time that dog sees me he goes crazy lol.Sometimes i think animals are more appreciative than humans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakari Posted March 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Not many things make me want to cry, but that did. I wish all humans could be so compasionate towards nature. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted March 11, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2013 That was beautiful, I wish Kwibi had been able to keep his human with him, but at least he knows he is out there somewhere and may even come back for another visit sometime, sooo sweet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander CMG Posted March 11, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Very moving indeed... Loved it. It reminded me of the two chaps that went back to find the Lion they raised as a cub, after several years and this huge lion came bounding down the hillside to greet them. Thanks for sharing that StarMountainKid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted March 12, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2013 There is something really special about 2 different species bonding and having a connection. Damn I miss my dog so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakari Posted March 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Damn I miss my dog so much. Sorry for your loss. I know what you mean, many people do, and many do not. A very special bond can never be forgotten, nor replaced......Just good memories ......And that is the gift they give / gave us. Memories of unconditional love. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted March 14, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2013 That was so touching. The Gorilla was obviously happier free but he loved that man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
