It's okay to love animals but you should never LOVE animals, if ya catch our drift.
Forget a monkey’s uncle, this woman wants to be one’s wife.
A monkey-loving woman has been banned from visiting a male chimpanzee at a zoo in Antwerp, Belgium, after officials declared their relationship unhealthy for the animal’s socialization with other chimps.
"I love that animal and he loves me," Adie Timmermans told Belgian channel ATV of her simian soulmate, according to LadBible.
The heartsick woman had reportedly been visiting the male chimp, named Chita, on a weekly basis for four years in what she described as a real "relationship."
During their visits, the two bar-crossed lovers would reportedly blow kisses and wave to each other through the glass of the primate’s enclosure — although thankfully they didn’t engage in any interspecies whoopie.
Nonetheless, Timmermans believes that their attraction is mutual.
Unfortunately, the zoo has since put the kibosh on their unorthodox love affair as it’s reportedly caused Chitah to get shunned by his fellow apes.
"When Chita is constantly surrounded by visitors, the other animals ignore him and don’t consider him part of the group," zoo curator Sarah Lafaut told ATV of the primate pariah, who reportedly spends 15 hours — outside of human visiting times — completely alone as the result of his banishment.
