Male monkey cares for dying partner

3. Sort of an aside but

I get more and more uncomfortable all the time with keeping animals in cages at zoos. It started for me with observations about the Orcas at SeaWorld, living in their tiny concrete bowls, versus how they interact and move in the wild...

I think we have grossly underestimated the sentience/feelings of most animals, and that what we are doing in zoos, even as wonderful as they are for letting people interact and view wild animals they would otherwise never see, still amounts to little more than what you'd get throwing a young human child in a cage for no reason, forever.

Emotional damage for animals, most people don't even realize HAVE emotions.
