Orangutans share 97 percent of their DNA with humans and have proven themselves to
be highly intelligent and resourceful. When they are in their natural rainforest habitats, they spend virtually all of their time in the treetops, caring for their loved ones, exploring their environment, and foraging for food. Just like the rest of us, they want to live in peace and free from harm.
Unfortunately, not all humans sees these amazing creatures as the thoughtful and sensitive beings that they are. For “International Orangutan Week,” International Animal Rescue, a worldwide animal rescue organization that is dedicated to saving and rehabilitating endangered and at-risk animals shared this heartbreaking story.
Bonika the baby orangutan was chained to a narrow plank for six months by a family who wanted to keep her as a pet.
