Ansar, Lebanon — Omega, a 12-year-old chimpanzee, bares his teeth through his cage in a zoo in the southern Lebanese village of Ansar. In his younger years, Omega 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-yard cage for 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 laws. Omega is being sent to a sanctuary in Brazil.
