This is video footage of Suryia the orangutan and Roscoe the dog who became best friends upon meeting each other. Both Suryia and (now) Roscoe live at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species in Myrtle Beach, SC. This story will be featured this fall on National Geographic Channel's show "Odd Couples" and later this month on "Oprah".

I fell in love with Orangs at the Fort Worth Zoo. Some little kid threw a pebble ito their habitat and the older one came over and picked it up and threw it back. Next thing I know I am playing toss with an orang for almost an hour. It hurt to leave them. They were like a family. The baby ones were playing peek-a boo and the older ones were trying to groom them and sleep... its incredible. That we think we are the only ones who feel, and love and know things. We could learn so much more...
OMG I am loving me some Suryia!!! I did not know about the palm oil. I'm going to look it up to see what products have it, and yes I will not use them. Write the companies and tell them why I won't buy or use it.
The biggest reason orangutans are losing habitat is the slash and burn of old growth forest to make palm oil plantations. One of the biggest issues the wildlife rescue workers are finding with the affected orangutans (aside from major loss of habitat) is they are literally suffering incapacitating and fatal burns and asphyxiation.
This is so freaking gogeous, I can hardly get over it. It speaks VOLUMES about the illogic & insanity of racism.
I don't know what's wong with buying palm oil, but I won't buy anything with palm oil in it any more. I ALWAYS look at ingedients - usually avoid colous & things I can't understand, now palm oil I will observe too.
