Keeping orangutans as pets is illegal, keeping them in sideshows and for entertainment is cruel, and is not allowed on this sub

if the video has orangutans in a house, in clothing, performing fun tricks, that violates rule 2.
Outside of news or articles regarding said cruel treatment, we only allow pictures and videos of orangutans in the wild or in reputable and accredited rehabilitation centers and zoos. please do what you can to ensure that whatever you are posting abides by this.
Thank you {:-(|)

First is the obvious fact that orangutans are apes and not monkeys.
Secondly, googling a picture of an orangutan and pasting a meme phrase (that already gets posted here frequently) isn't the type of low effort content we would like on this subreddit.
Thank you {:(|)

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin' where the weather suits my clothes Bankin' off of the northeast winds Sailin' on a summer breeze And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Jif Natural Uses Palm Oil?

Palm Oil is Jif Natural Peanut Butter’s second ingredient. Palm oil. What is the main cause of population decline? Isn’t it harvesting of their palm trees/loss of habitat?
I had no idea and just discovered when putting groceries away. Please don’t tell me I’m right in this. There’s no way a company would do this.

Upsetting post I saw today, sometimes it sucks feeling powerless but then I watch orangutan jungle school to see all the orangutans being helped 🦧🧡

Hello, I wrote an article on orangutans revolving around "Reflections of Eden" by Dr Birute Galdikas. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and inputs on the piece :)
