It is well known now that the orangutan population is rapidly being destroyed by the large-scale deforestation which is tearing down their natural habitat. Simultaneously, the market for exotic pets is growing exponentially, making the poor creatures doomed to be exploited and tortured in unsuitable conditions for the remainder of their lives. Such was the case for one poor orangutan, who was rescued from life as a pet monkey where he was fed nothing but sickly-sweet condensed milk.
Poor little orangutan baby, Budi, was kept locked up in a tiny chicken cage where he could barely move, let alone display his natural instincts to climb and play. In fact, upon his rescue, he was so weak and feeble that he could barely move at all, let alone sit up or support his own weight.
