BORENO — An animal charity that rescues orangutans in Borneo has released heartbreaking footage of a baby orangutan that was dumped in a filthy cardboard box and left out in a backyard in the sun to die.

The baby, who has been named Gito by the team from International Animal Rescue (IAR) who saved him, was so lifeless when they reached him that at first they thought he was dead. He was lying corpse-like with his arms folded across his chest and this, along with a lack of hair and grey flaking skin, made him look almost mummified in his cardboard coffin.

No way to treat a critter. Glad to see it might make it, now.

Yep.

That sort of treatment is reserved for humans.

No way to treat a human, either, imho.

No. It’s reserved for the humans who did this to the poor critter.

They aren’t human if they could do this. I think.

And now I’m crying .

Daffy, I am not reading any more animal stories today.

Horrific as it is...it’s no scandal at all when babies are given the same (or worse) treatment.

Such is the world we live in. (sigh)

"The logical import of Obama’s vote against BAIPA [Born-Alive Infant Protection Act] is that he disagrees, i.e., once a baby has been targeted for abortion it thereafter has no inherent right to the food, comfort, and medical care provided to other babies born alive.

Indeed, during Illinois state senate deliberations on BAIPA, Obama stated that one of his objections was that the bill was “designed to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.” Apparently, once the decision to abort has been made, a child is doomed even if born alive."

Nobody ever rescued dying infants left in hospital closets in Illinois that Barack Obama did not see fit to protect as HUMAN beings.

I've been told for decades by liberals that if a baby cannot take care of itself without the mama around for support, it isn't a viable being.

I AM happy that someone rescued this innocent orangutan, just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy we experience every day since the establishment of modern (1960s) Marxist feminism.

Thanks! I didn't realize what you meant at first.
Don't know how I did that (link to another page of the site).
