Glad to hear that someone in PT Khaleda Agroprima Malindo will finally take some responsibility for the senseless slaughter of these beautiful creatures. Buy no palm oil or any other product from them, nor any product made from their palm oil.

This article broke my heart. I wrote an article, The Beer Drinking Orang-utan, in September 2010. In my childhood, orangutans were part of circus acts and I came to love this particular one. Now I know animals should not be kept in captivity, but it seems even the wild is not safe for them.
