Zoo chiefs, who said he needs to focus on socializing with other primates, said the chimpanzee’s romance with a woman visiting his abode must stop.

It’s a love story that made headlines in Belgium with the heartbreaking news that the woman would no longer be allowed to have weekly meetings with Chita, a 38-year-old chimpanzee.

Adie Timmermans is a regular visitor to the zoo and has grown related to the chimpanzees she has been visiting for four years.

She claims that she and Chita would be upset if they weren’t allowed to see each other anymore.

Addy is reported to have said, “I love this animal and he loves me.

“I don’t have anything else. Why would they want to take that away?”

Their weekly get-togethers will include kissing and waving through the glass of the chimpanzee enclosure, the Telegraph reports.

Although the zoo threw cold water on the friendship and said it is not good for chimpanzees on a social level with other animals.

He pointed to the fact that for most of the day he is with other chimpanzees and must be able to communicate with them.

The zoo reportedly stated: “An animal that focuses too much on people is not respected by its peers.

“We want chita to be as chimpanzee as possible.

“Outside visiting hours at the zoo, he has to run 15 hours [a day] in his group. We want to give him the chance to be as happy as possible.”

It is reported that the Chita was raised as a pet and was donated to the zoo when it became too large to manage.

Since then he hasn’t adapted easily to other chimpanzees and fights have taken place including one where he injured his back in 2008.

The zoo said Adie wouldn’t be welcome at the zoo if she kept seeing Chita but Adie doesn’t see what she’s doing wrong.

Addie argued that she had done nothing wrong and that at age 38 it is unlikely that the chimpanzee would change now (

She is said to have said: “Cheta is 38 years old and has gotten used to people from a young age. On average, a chimpanzee lives around 40 years, so his behavior will not change now.”

Meanwhile, an animal protection group in the United States alleges that the Missouri Primate Foundation faked and concealed the death of the famous chimpanzee Tonka, despite a court order.

The people involved in the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have reportedly argued that the temperature recorded for cremation could not be high enough to be carried out.

The Missouri Primate Foundation, which hired monkeys and chimpanzees to take pictures and films, has reportedly been accused of mistreating the animals in the past.
