Orangutans Seized in Bangkok Will Be Returned to Indonesia
After two years of investigation and DNA testing, 54 orangutans that were forced to entertain tourists at a private zoo in a Bangkok suburb, will be returned eventually to their homeland in the Indonesian rainforest. Schwann Tunhikorn, deputy director-general of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department, said recent DNA tests confirmed that 54 of the 69 apes seized by Thai forestry police from Safari World in 2004 belonged to Indonesia.
