**It's a curious question right?** We have known for ages that apes do experience human-like emotions.  When I was invited by my brother to go and visite this new zoo in Holland this knowledge didn't stop me.
After some hours of walking around, I found myself looking at these clever beings. 

Of course, I **both** felt sad they were sitting there day by day for our pleasures. Furthermore, I did definitely feel honored to be able to watch the group behavior of about 20ish of these apes. Obviously, I couldn't keep myself from taking a few shots while being a visitor of their fancy-fied *cage*.

If it's true that these beings experience approximately the same emotions humans do, then one agonizing truth emerges. **Don't they know they are held in captivity?**  Realising this, I immediately felt sad for being there. Looking back at those pictures I keep wondering the same question. Who is observing who? Did they look at me while thinking:

*"Dude, only today you are already the 144th person taking photographs of our desperate faith, dont you realize this?"*

**Again I aks myself. Who is observing and judging who?**
