      What? Showing how much she loved her? Nope...she is not a human..she hugged her because that is what primate mothers do with newborns, hold them close to their chests to facilitate breastfeeding!!

      Yes, most primate mothers including humans instinctively hold the newborn to the chest. And most primate parents including humans love their children.

Je mag in alles geloven wat jij wild maar laat anderen niet mee genieten van jou overtuigingen en woorden. Al jou ouders nooit het geloof in botte kop hadden gestampt zou je anders denken. En daar zijn maar al te veel voorbeelden van. GOD en ALLAH is 100 % het zelfde geen enkel verschil. Hier wil ik het bij laten anders raak je overstuur en kan je niet slapen de eerste nacht wat eraan zit te komen voor jou........ de mazzel van een kind van de aarde en verder niets, helemaal niets.

    God I'm so sick of hearing this, "freedom of wild," bullshit. Freedom doesn't exist in the wild. The only difference in freedom between a wild habitat & the equivalent artificial habitat is that you could maybe get lost in the wild one, cause there's too much of it to walk around in. But unlike an artificial habitat, in the wild, you must face: predation, disease, parasites, starvation, dehydration, territory conflict, conflict between different troops, etc. The wild is *dangerous*. It is not a utopia for animals, it is a killing field where your life is always potentially in peril. Why the hell did you think that humans created our own environment just for us, away from the wild? Because the wild fucking SUCKS. Because ultimately, nobody belongs in the wild, it is preferable to be in an artificial one, created by those who know what the prerequisites are for living comfortably.
    Just as humans don't belong in the wild, nor does any other animal. Animals do not belong in the wild.
