Budi the orangutan [top] is recovering after almost a year of serious neglect. The tiny ape spent the first 10 months of his life in a chicken coop and was severely malnourished after surviving only on condensed milk. Before his rescue, Budi was a family pet in Ketapang, Indonesia. The milk alone couldn’t provide the nutrients the growing orangutan needed to properly develop. Eventually, the family realised that Budi was very ill and turned him over to authorities…

Poor little baby :-(
Just donated €50 – get well soon baby xx
good on ya.
how many homeless people did you ignore this week?
you gonna have some rashers tomorrow?
Shut up happy it ain’t your money to spend.
50 quid though. Jaysus Aisling you must be emotional this evening. And expecting some sort of backlash to post it here.
Ah now Happy, don’t be like that…. play nice
What the hell is wrong with you? What actually goes on in your head when you see someone helping another creature and you feel the overwhelming need to sh*t on them. Actually, I don’t want to know. It’s probably so sad and lonely in your head we’d probably send you 50 euro
Nice one Aisling
I don’t even remember saying that aisling. must be my famous wit that kicks in when I have a few drinks, don’t mind me, fair play to ya
Write 100 lines: I will not post on Broadsheet after I come in from the pub.
Pray for mojo
Why is it when you say you made a donation to a charity, some one craps on it.
Not always true, like when I recently made a donation to Constipation Sufferers Ireland
For the same reason you never have to pack an @rsehole when travelling somewhere.
Orangutans are critically endangered. In terms of long terms investments, money well spent.
Spitting image of Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash)
So let me get this right… You’re saying Don Cheadle looks like an Ape?! Are you that far removed from how offensive that is? What the hell is wrong with you?
I’m more concerned that Oceans 11, 12 & 13 weren’t noted
What’s d’story Soundy?
No, I’m saying that Don Cheadle has a look which resembles the look on the orangatang above. Just as Winston Churchill had a look which resembled that on some bulldogs, or Anne Cassin (RTE) or Nigel Dodds, the DUP politician, resemble Yogi Bear.
But if you are trying to sniff out some latent racism (black people = monkeys = bananas thrown at soccer matches and all that), don’t let me stop you, we have to be vigilant about that stuff.
It’s true about Anne Cassin! And Mary Harney, a beaver.
Joan Burton and Bert Raccoon
I’d say he was definitely trying to sniff that out, and in fairness he was right to ask for clarification.
Even if you didn’t really intent it that way, you can’t ignore the heritage of some racist-tinged terms and expressions.
Not sniffing out…. Calling out your latent racism. Your reasoning is tenuous at best….
I was thinking the little baba looked like The Gooch tbh wi’ye
Call me what ye like
Blind.
Something. In. My. Eye.
Still I don’t trust small monkeys. As soon as Budi regains his strength, Vet Karmele would need to keep any sharp objects under lock and key and never turn her back on him.
Orang-utan = old man of the chicken coop
