CONCLUSIVE PROOF

That There Is No God and Humans Are Essentially Evil

Published October, 2007
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.

How did you get her away from there?

It took us over a year to rescue her, because every time we went in with forest police and local officers we would be overpowered by the villagers, who simply would not give her up. They would threaten us with guns and knives with poison on them. In the end it took 35 policemen armed with AK-47s and other weaponry going in there and demanding that they hand over Pony. It was filmed by a local television crew and in the background of the film when we are unchaining Pony you can hear the madam crying hysterically, screaming, “They are taking my baby, you can’t do this!” There is no law enforcement in Indonesia so these people didn’t face any sentence or anything for what they had done.

I’m a biology student and we just had the director of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation herself come and speak to us today. I googled this b/c when she presented it in the seminar we were all utterly horrified and in disbelief. The account that was given here is spot on to what was presented today. I’m glad they were able to get Pony out of that hell hole. Wtf is wrong with those Indonesians wanting to have sex with her. Sick sad world I tell you.

Many people whining here about "real problems and disgrace of humanity". Seriously what the f-? Human are doing such things as this, human are slaving each other and taking personal gain of everything they can, HUMAN HAS NO VALUE. Get it? If human had the morale some animal species have, we would a real working world and less problems. Stop overrating all that humanity bullshit already, you’re a disgrace to your own race.

the ’no law enforcement’ thing is not true. i live in indonesia and this country have law enforcement, but no animal rights. i still wonder whether this story is true or not tho.
Oscar Thompson, on Jan 28, 2010 wrote:
This is just one of many exploitative sensationalist features from Vice but everybody has an opinion on this one because its to do with animal rights. I seriously don’t give a fuck about any animal while human beings are suffering in this world. i mean 35 heavily armed police to save a fucking chimp. Fuck, if people invested that much money/man-power/effort to save human beings, imagine the world we’d live in!
