"I gather that he didn't like me." Um, Frank buddy, how would you feel about a person who snatched you away from your home and freedom, shoved you into a crappy steel cage, then brayed about how they were such a "great hero"?

@critterfreek82

but the orangutan has probably the same, if not better living standards than what they face in the wild. Not to mention they don't have the same reasoning skills as humans, and would not be able to process what happened as well.

@sarva07 no I think you will find a fully grown dominant male orang will overpower a silverback, the gorilla will be more agile but the orang has much more strength, I've seen a fully grown male punch a hole through steel mesh and pick up his cage then throw it across a room

@tom11zz884 no, it's the Mountain Gorilla...but if orangutan were as big as a gorilla, yes they would be probably the strongest

[tom11zz884]

I think Orangutans are the strongest of all primates

@critterfreek82 oh wow this comment is so awesome

[abbeykroeter]

@Scott111188 I can only tell hand me down stories like the rest of the group out there, like hearing from primate trainers that a young orangutan turned a car tire inside out (!). I believe these stories, as the animals need that strength just to easily hold themselves in trees most of their lives. I can't believe nobody out there has one shred of film of a great ape of any kind, lifting or dragging something heavy, or similar to the story I heard on film. ANYONE? PLEASE?

@ahfT42 Well, fortunately we've come a long way from even the 1940s in how we treat wild animals. In hindsight it's amazing to see how abusive and thoughtless even trained professionals were just 50 years ago.
