See No Evil

There was nothing cruel about this but it was weird. I don't think if the ape could talk it would choose to stay. The expression on the ape's face was total disinterest. Stop anthropomorphizing animals. They may be smart and share some human-like characteristics, but treating them as a roommate for 30 years is just freaky.

Giving Cheetah beer and cigars is conditioning him with your bad habits. Add a birthday cake and you are safely down the road to weirdo-ville.

If you die and these animals are left on there own, they can never return to the wild, be put in a zoo, or anything. Wild animals deserve to be left alone and enjoy there existence without human interference.
