Spanish term or phrase: recoger
organizaciones particulares destinadas a recoger a los chimpancés

En el sombrío documental carcelario que vi hace algunas semanas surge de pronto el alivio de la bondad humana. Personas generosas, veterinarios con una vocación de misericordia y justicia que va más allá de los límites de la propia especie, fundan organizaciones particulares destinadas a recoger a los chimpancés y a construir para ellos refugios en los que puedan llevar una vida lo más parecida posible a aquella de la que fueron arrancados en la primera infancia.

(Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes")
