Day Three - Chimpanzees Feel 🩶

Chimpanzees experience joy, fear, excitement, grief, empathy, and love. They celebrate new life, comfort distressed friends, and mourn the loss of loved ones.

Recognizing chimpanzees’ emotional lives reminds us they very much deserve our compassion and
protection.

❤️ Compassion begins with understanding.

Call to Action: Comment with ❤️ if you believe chimpanzees feel emotions.
