Mass Killings of Orangutans Lead to Drastic Drops in Species


These poor creatures are the victim of deforestation and cultivation of oils. These animals have already been placed on the endangered species list and it seems as these animals have just been “disappearing” from these forested areas in Borneo, an island in Asia. "When these animals come into conflict with people on the edge of a plantation, they are always on the losing end. People will kill them.” It is so sad that we live in a world where people will kill just to get products off of the land.  "Just last week, we had a report of an orangutan that had 130 pellets in its body, after being shot at in Borneo.” Hopefully the people in charge can get this under control before we lose this species all together.
