However, the video brought up a controversial issue, it’s whether or not animals should be put in captivity.

While the crowd was enthralled and also moved by the notion that these animals are kept in zoos, some users stated that animals should be left in the wild. However, animals, especially endangered species, would be harmed by poachers if they were left to roam in the wild. Zoos have breeding programs and are committed to research and conservation to prevent species extinction.

Sometimes, animals are better off being protected in exchange for their freedom, so they can survive.

In the end, no matter what opinions are discussed, we all hope that endangered species like Western Lowland Gorillas can have a chance to regain their population, and maybe someday they can be released into the wild again. With a mother’s love such as in this story, we believe that the baby gorilla will grow up to be a strong and healthy creature, so it can help further save its species.
