Do you think it’s wrong to treat baby orang utan like a human baby?

nurse bottle feeding baby orang utan 300x229 Do you think its wrong to treat baby orang utan like a human baby?

I read an article about how some environmental activists are saying that it’s not right for baby orang utans to be treated like human babies, where they are bottled fed, draped on with diapers and sleeping in baby cots. I guess they feel strongly that these orang utans should be left to live and survive the way they are meant to as wild animals, but then again would they be able to, given the condition of the world we live in today?

I’m a bit torn on taking sides. I see both sides of the coin and feel that both parties have some point in doing what they are saying. But if the choice is left to me, I really don’t know which is the better way to bring up these little creatures who are facing extinction. What about you, what do you think?

I think those environmentalist are jealous. Only in SEA especially in Malaysia, we are the most successful in protecting and keeping apes population numbers up. No where else , even in Africa the monkeys are going cannibalistic cause there is not much food, jungle or anything else for them to survive.Here in Malaysia we have great volunteers, doctors and specialist to take care of our own apes.
Kudos to them and pity the hypocrites.
