Meet Pony. She is an orangutan from a small village in Borneo, where they cut down the rain forest to render the palm oil that gets sold abroad and made into lip salve, ice cream, chocolates, and cheese crackers.
VICE: So tell us about Pony.
Michelle Desilets [Director of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation]: Pony is an orangutan from a prostitute village in Borneo. We found her chained to a wall, lying on a mattress. She had been shaved all over her body.
I want to cry.
If a man walked near her, she would turn herself around, present herself, and start gyrating and going through the motions. She was being used as a sex slave. She was probably about six or seven years old when we rescued her, but she had been held captive by a madam for a long time. The madam refused to give up the animal because everyone loved Pony and she was a big part of their income. They also thought Pony was lucky, as she would pick winning lottery numbers.
Did the clients realize that they were in fact getting an orangutan?
Oh yeah, they would come in especially for it. You could choose a human if you preferred, but it was a novelty for many of the men to have sex with an orangutan. They shaved her every other day, which meant that her skin had all these pimples and was very irritated. The mosquitoes would get to her very badly and the bites would become septic and be very infected, as she would scratch them constantly. They would put rings and necklaces on her. She was absolutely hideous to look at.

(42,443 posts)They'll think it proves their point; as I understand it, women's sexual behavior were compared to a Bonobo's, BB rightly objected to a modern women's sexual behavior being compared to an Ape, and evolutionary hell broke loose, with a lot of deliberately missing the point. Now they can compare women to orangutan's -- she wants it! She's presenting herself! Just like a women going out for a night on the town.
They'll sleep next to their awesome wives/girlfriends (they all have them I noticed) in complete happiness. An Orangutan is being prostituted out.

so prostitution which is supposed to make everything better and in this case the guys could have picked a human female to have sex with.
but it results in abuse of animals. are people going to claim this was ok ?
