Omega In his younger years was used in one of the local restaurants to entertain people and was made to smoke cigarettes and serve water pipe to customers.



After he grew stronger, he was locked up and taken to a zoo where he has lived in a 40 square meter cage for the past 10 years. Organizers of Omega's evacuation say it marks the first time a chimpanzee has been rescued in Lebanon, a country with virtually no animal rights protection laws.
