Alex Bailey from Manchester, who recorded the interaction at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, interprets the signs as a direction to free the chimp, The Telegraph reported. One chuckling man taps on the window and copies the chimp's actions, mimicking the animal's mimes of opening the window. A bystander can be heard giggling and saying: 'He wants us to open it'. But the chimpanzee is more focused on trying to make itself understood, as it longingly looks at the people in front of him. Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk...

This is a sad indictment of how humans treat other sentient creatures on this planet. Here we have what seems to be a cry for help that is basically laughed off by the Neanderthals on the other side of the glass namely the morons taking the video. I can assure you if i had been there this would have gone directly to animal rescue or the rspca. I dont understand why you would want to cage animals in such a way. Makes me wanna go all 12 monkeys on these zoo's.

He's using British sign language " please, biscuit" and pointing to the cookie close to the cage... Dumb tourist can't communicate with him.

I sort of agree with getting rid of zoos. I think that if they come across an animal that is injured and won't make it out in the wild put them there where they can be take care of. That would be the only reason i could see for putting them in a place like that.

I guess I'm the odd ball. If living the horrible and brutal existence of having his meals made and served 3 times daily with a whole team to descend if he so much as gets a little cut from jumping around, I'm thinking he can take one for the team.
Seriously, life isn't THAT bad and nothing is out to eat him there. In exchange, letting people get to know more about them directly helps save the ones in the wild. Aren't most of these species at least 'threatened', in the wild? Education must help...and that's his way of paying his keep.
