But that was only the beginning of his nightmare. Because George wasn't properly tested before entering the USA, and could have been carrying any number of viruses, parasites or other conditions that could potentially affect humans, authorities had no choice but to place Baby George in strict quarantine in a research facility for 3 months before he could be transferred to the OPR sanctuary.
At this tender young age, George should have been cuddling in the security of his mothers arms, suckling & being groomed, learning skills to help him thrive as an adult, and chasing bull frogs and butterflies with other babies from his troop. But instead, following his cruel abduction, he spent three months frightened & alone in an unfamiliar cold steel cage, untouched, no mother to nurse or reassure him, not even a comforting bottle which he should have been on until at least one year of age.
go "home". He will have to remain in captivity, in a humans world for the rest of his life. His mother along with other troop members were most likely killed during the abduction process. Troop members will fight to the death protecting their infants, as would you or I.
