Religious: I personally think that God created these creatures for us to take care of and for us to ensure of its survival. If people think that these creatures are worthless, so to speak from a religious point-of-view, I think it is the same as defying God. God gave us these wonderful creatures. Why not take care of them and make God happy?
Scientific: Pure logic. Simple and clear. Orang-utans need forests to live. It's their habitat. If we take care of our orang-utans, we keep our rainforests the way they are. Bottom line? Orang-utans go extinct, no rainforests. No rainforests, more pollution. More pollution, more carbon emissions. All carbon emissions, end of the human race. We die. Simple, isn't it? :)
Personal: Come on, now. Baby orang-utans are just super cute.
On a side note, let's not forget about that film 'Planet of the Apes'. I think it has gotten to me. Quite scary, hey?
By the way, these just doesn't go only for the orang-utans. I dedicate this to all animals living in my country and the entire world. I have attended too many lectures of Evolutionary Approaches to Psychology to actually find out how remarkable these creatures are.
So, if you ask me, what is my next step? Well... I can't tell you. It has to be spontaneous. You will know when I finally did it. I will write. For now, I think you know what I'm going to do. ;)
To all those corporations who think that they own the Earth, remember... Mother Nature can be very angry if she wants to :) To a certain political institution of my beloved country centred at where I am right now, the fact that illegal loggings, deforestations and forest fires did not happen because of palm oil is PURE BULLSHIT. All right, maybe real estates play a part in this too. But you do know that palm oil plays a part in this also :) And you wrote this and denied the cold-hard facts in your website? Tsk tsk for shame...
Enough with the post. I'm done. I'm out.
