Chimp's Reaction to Seeing the Sky After Being Kept in a Cage Her Whole Life Is Incredible
A recent video is quickly capturing the Internet's heart as it's a major win for animals. A 28-year-old Chimp spent nearly her entire life in a New York research lab where the animals were kept in small cages. We can't even imagine how horrible that must've been for her and all the other animals.
But now, we're celebrating as she's been rescued and she's safe and sound in Florida-based sanctuary. The video was reposted by TikTok news account, @cbsnews. You'll shed happy tears when you see this sweet Chimp's reaction to freedom.

Aww! We can't even describe how happy we are that Vanilla is finally living the life she should. Her reaction to seeing the sky and sunshine for the first time ever is truly incredible. We love that the other chimp was encouraging her and even greeted her with a hug. The hug symbolized they finally made it out. SO sweet! The sanctuary said since Vanilla release, she's been a regular on the island, enjoying the companionship of others and the freedom the sanctuary life gives them.
"May each and every day be absolute bliss for that gorgeous animal for the rest of their life," commented @krissyay. We hope she knows how loved she is and that she'll never have to experience the horrors of a testing lab again.
