It's Orangutan Caring Week! - Does the SFZoo Director Care About the Orangutans?

Week Thirteen starts with it being Orangutan Caring Week (11.10.19 - 11.16.19)   I Love how this Perfectly fell into place.

Ollie and Amoi's living situation has not changed.  Their only outdoor access is to the Skytrails.  To date, there is allegedly no plan in motion to change that.

Will 13 be the Orangutans Lucky Number?

Will Director Tanya Peterson finally show some respect for these Endangered Great Apes by authorizing the commencement of an immediate temporary enclosure and the subsequent renovation to Triple Grotto, as a permanent part of the Great Ape Passage?

My previous post about what can be done with Triple Grotto

To be clear, every post I make about the Orangutan's situation, is directed to Director Tanya Peterson.  The Primate Staff has done an excellent job caring for the Orangutans, within the literal confines they have to work with. 

Confines is the perfect word for Ollie and Amoi's existence at the San Francisco Zoo.  Without an enclosure to freely move around, stretch, climb, swing, etc. , they are literally in confinement.   Yes, while all captive Animals live in confined spaces, it is a big difference, when the walls of confinement can be touched with arms outstretched. 

A mesh enclosed trail is not a Habitat.

It is outrageous that these two Beings are basically living in cages.

In my opinion, if you don't have Empathy for Great Apes, you don't have Empathy or Compassion for any Non-Human Being.

Anyone devoid of those feelings in regard to the quality of the lives they are responsible for, should not be working in, managing, or running, an Animal Care Facility.

What happened with the Chimpanzees being locked inside for Seven Weeks, and now the Orangutans not having a proper space, for the past Twelve Weeks and foreseeable future, is Cruel.  And that is not me just saying bad things, as I've been told has been said about me, those are the Facts.

It is completely valid to question the living situation of the Orangutans.
