      I could not find the story in those links provided but adopting great apes is a very, very dumb idea. If they were so concerned with having a kid there are ways provided for adopting humans, a species generally more tame.

      Last year or the year before there was this most tragic story that began much like this one but ended where the owners' friend had her face ripped off, the owners then had to stab their 'child' with a kitchen knife to try and save the lady, the ape was shot and cowered in its place before it died, and the owners lost their 'child'.

      These things never end up nice, and people should stop trying to live in LaLa Land

      You know we in trouble when apes start writing sene3tnces and pleading their own case.
      Truth does not depend on a consensus of opinion.

      “I suspect that they are also different from you. See the mystery that is each one of them. Reverence them even as you seek to engage them. Find in yourself the courage, the faithfulness, never to give up on anyone who is given to you as mentor and friend,”

      Last week a pet snake killed a baby in Florida. People should not keep as pet, animals that should be in the 'wild'. There will be no pets for me.
