Thailand sending 53 smuggled orangutans back home

Some great news - for many years protests have been aimed at Safari World in Thailand, where 153 orangutans have been held and been forced to undergo public boxing matches. Despite the claims that they were the result of a suspiciously successful breeding programme, DNA testing has proved that at least 53 of them were born in Indonesia and are to be returned in the future. See more details here: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/BKK69031.htm

Now according to the Jakarta Post and as reported here in the Bangkok Post - another 43 will be tested with the aim of sending them back home too. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/breakingnews.php?id=92798
