Those poor gorillas. I really struggle with thoughts animals suffering in any shape or form. They are so innocent, and in a captive situation totally reliant on us humans for their well being and comfort. Breaks my heart. I hope the Zoo comes up with some sort of solution.

A while ago I was looking after an elderly gentleman with dementia. The house next door decided to demolish and rebuild. It almost drove the poor man mad with the noise and confusion. Every new day I had to explain what was going on and why as he had forgotten. His brain couldn't retain the information so had to relive the disruption as a new thing on a daily basis. Very sad.

These two situations aren't all that dissimilar.
