Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 The 48 Thai orangutans are back home! FOUR AND A HALF YEARS after the first complaint was made about illegally imported orangutans at several places including the Bangkok safari park, exactly THREE YEARS after the raid on the park where over one hundred orangutan babies were found, TWO YEARS after we proofed with DNA tests that these orangutans were indeed born in the jungles of Borneo, they were finally send home! These orangutans were trained to perform shows for tourists although they were born in the wild. These orangutans were giving boxing shows for a thousand people at a time in Bangkok instead of foraging the trees of Kalimantan. These orangutans were tortured to entertain human beings. But it is over now! Find on the link hereunder the report on the repatriation of the orangutans from Thailand to Indonesia on the 21st and 22nd of November 2006 <http://www.wfft.org/orangutans.html> http://www.wfft.org/orangutans.html Edwin Wiek Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand 108 moo 6, Tambon Thamairuak Amphoe Thayang 76130 Petchaburi THAILAND Tel/Fax: +66-32-458135 Mobile +66-90600906 Web: <http://www.wfft.org> www.wfft.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
