First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Woman drives van loads of rescued chimps to the forest for playtime every day.
Video Script::
so Chauncey was in that little box she was being kept as a pet the people heard we were coming and they hid her so we spent quite a long time walking up and down the street we were able to confiscate her and basically what happens then is just 24 hour intensive care she's our little miracle baby she came in physically very very bad up she had a very swollen head and she wasn't getting nutrition's and then she also of course emotionally was just completely traumatized but she's an amazing little girl and as the days went by she really came out of her shell and really started to laugh and she's got such a great spirit in 2015 my husband and I came here to hell with the former research chimps who had been abandoned in Liberia did that for a couple of years but in the meantime during those two years we started getting you chimps quite quickly once we were here and so as we started to get more we realized there was a much bigger problem so we decided we really needed to rescue the chimps who were already in captivity here and now we're already at fifty nine chimps we have four groups and then they slowly kind of work up Chauncey she's in the third group so she's not with the oldest group but her group is now spending half their days at the forest so we take them in their car which we call the school bus and she goes to the forest with her group which is about 14 chimps so it's great she's living as much of a you know semi natural life as we can give her our goal is of course providing the best life we can for for the chimps who do come into our care and giving them as much of a life similar to what they would have had in the wild ultimately our goal is to keep wild chimps wild we are really committed to a holistic approach doing public awareness and also looking at strengthening laws and working on wildlife trafficking freedom not just chimps but all protected species my favorite part is seeing their personalities come out and just seeing the transformations I think the biggest thing I've learned is the ability to to be resilient they recover and again they smile and they laugh and it's just it's inspiring for all the difficulties and stress and worry that part is just so amazing [Music] like comment and subscribe
