We have to financially support the rescue centres, lobby our politicians to stop supporting first generation biofuels and write to food companies like Unilever, ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Procter & Gamble, Kraft, Nestle and Goodman Fielder demanding that they support a moratorium on deforestation for palm oil plantations.

So we can save this beautiful animal. Maybe round up as many volunteers as possible around the world. I for one would love to help. I just cannot understand how anyone could consider hurting or killing such a beautiful creature. I guess they think totally different than us with no heart.
