Is not possible to take a baby from the arms of her/his mum without killing her, because as in humans, mothers will do anything possible to protect their offspring.
When Mussa was rescued he was flown to his new home at the non-profit Lwiro Primates, which is located in a small village called Lwiro in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The pilot Anthony Caere wrote on his Facebook page, “This looks cute but is actually a sad story. He should be with his mum.. But happy we could give him a new good home!Chimpanzee Mussa even “helped” adjust the plane’s throttle during the flight, rescue organisation Lwiro Primates in the Democratic Republic of Congo said.
