The video and pictures of Fatou che they should make us smile and rejoice, they are actually sad infinite, for some veiled, for others very evident.
After being sold as a puppy in Marseille by a sailor, Fatou was taken from a French zoo and moved to Berlin, where she arrived back in 1959. Since that year she has been a "guest" of the Berlin Zoo, if we can forcefully say so. .
For all its existence this gorilla has known nothing but its fenced area, the gazes of children and tourists, throughout the year, year after year until today, in which it turns 65, almost all locked up in this zoo.
Yet his is one of the many stories of animals deprived of the possibility of living free, but which is nevertheless cheerfully celebrated, forgetting that the best gift you can ever give her is freedom!
