If you ever happen to goto England, there is a superb Gorilla sanctuary in 
Kent (SE England). It's named Howletts and is one of the few 
enclosed-animal areas I've seen where the animals don't seem trapped (the 
Rhino enclosure at Louisville Zoo is so depressing).

The founder (John Aspinall) preached close human-animal contact and 
there's a famous story of how one of the gorilla's took Aspinall's 
daughter up a tree to mother her. There are a few infamous stories too as 
they also have a lot of tigers and have had a couple of keeper maulings 
over the years.

The site (http://www.totallywild.net) is not too impressive, but the park 
definitely is impressive. In fact, my wife and I honeymooned there (for an 
afternoon) as due to VISA issues she couldn't leave the country :)
