Curious orang



As far as I can gather from my total lack of research compensated by a surplus of reactionary imagination - so correct me if I'm wrong - the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is a place where celebrity orangutans can overcome their addictions to various substances through a strict diet of bananas, which are dispensed twice daily in humiliating rituals that the braying public is invited to attend.

Some people might think it's cruel to parade these troubled apes in this manner, but they've got to learn. Here are some lousy photos.

Look at him, the poor junkie sod. He's probably been throwing up all day



Mother + baby. They start so young



This one doesn't know whether it's coming or going



This guy only injects once a month on a purely recreational basis: fine



These bars spark flashbacks to a life spent in and out of prison, no doubt

Conjugal visits are permitted



This one may be beyond help
