  Knock Out Orangutan Boxing in Thailand

  These orangutans were stolen from Indonesia and Malaysia by smugglers when they were babies. Their mothers were murdered as the forests of Borneo and Sumatra were destroyed.
  
  Once in Thailand (or Cambodia or Laos, etc), the orangutans are badly abused. They are forced to live in small cages made of concrete and steel bars. They are beaten until they learn to perform on cue and many have been killed in the process. They are given no enrichment and have no access to grass, trees or anything natural.
  
  Due to proximity to humans, many of these orangutans have caught human diseases such as Tuberculosis and Hepatitis. These poor creatures will never be allowed to return to the forest. So what will happen when they get too big to perform? (Adult orangutans WILL NOT perform on cue!) They will simply disappear... which is to say they will be killed. This is a crime that must be stopped...
