4-Year-Old Chimpanzee Is FINALLY Free From Life In A Laboratory

It's difficult to imagine a life of torture and captivity unless you've witnessed such horror yourself.

In fact a life like that isn't much of a life at all, is it? Here at LittleThings, we're so grateful for people who go above and beyond to help animals in need. From heroes who help homeless dogs to those that risk their lives to help even the most dangerous of creatures, no act of kindness is too small.

Helping a pet or an animal in the wild is a brave deed, but we often forget about those animals who are truly living in a hell on earth and don't know anything otherwise. I'm talking about the countless animals trapped in cages, who are condemned to a life of cruelty, harmful testing and sometimes certain death.

If you've ever seen videos like this one of beagles being outdoors for the very first time, than you already know how heartbreaking the situation is. Animals like the chimpanzees featured in the following video by the heroes of Humane Society of the United States don't know any life aside from their cages. When 4-year-old chimp Arden was finally saved from the cage she's lived in forever and released into a safe sanctuary with other chimps, it touched me deeply.

I'm so happy these sweet chimpanzees can finally learn what it's like to have a family, be loved and feel the sun on their faces. Doesn't every animal deserve this freedom?
