Orangutan Baby Card from Zazzle.com

Views:Product Design

This infant is an orphan that had just arrived at the Care Center operated by Orangutan Foundation International when I took her picture. Notice how she is frantically grasping her own hair for a sense of security - that is how tightly she would be holding on to her mother. Except her mother was killed. Every day new orphans arrive at the Care Center, victims of the illegal pet trade and destruction of the rain forest.

Also, you may make donations of any size at the OFI website: http://www.orangutan.org Remember the words of Francis of Assisi: "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

Thanks for stopping by.

The infant center was crowded full of orphans like this little girl on my last visit. It is heart breaking to see any creature so traumatized.

Rebecca

Thanks for raising our awareness even further of the tremendous cruelty we already know exists. OFI will be put on my list of favorites. I'll link the card to my message post too. Thanks for your recommendation about the dawn image. I made a non-holiday card out of it. Had been meaning too. Thanks for all your comments. My wife and I have one pit and two in the past now deceased. I'll cry if I think about them too long. They are angels in heaven. Maggie, another rescue is 12 years old and still going strong. They've all been "Daddy's girls (smile). Blessings, Robert. I just love your gallery.

Hi Creechers. Thank you for coming by !!

It's early in Hawaii, so I'm still up and happened to see your comment appear. Yes, this is a little girl !! She had been at the orphan care center for at least four days at this point, and believe it or not, actually looked better than when she had first come in. Her name sounded like "Seuss," but I am not sure of the Indonesian spelling.

Creechers said 9/23/2008

wow

my vote makes 71.. she is precious.. I really love her. It's a she right?

For the end of suffering

I applaud you, Rebecca. This heartbreaking story along the crude facts is a stark reminder of the importance to unite voices and efforts for the end of barbaric deeds on innocent and defenseless creatures. OFI do a caring and important work. I shall add them to the list of animal welfare organistions I promote in my conservation Web sites. I am an active advocate for the end of the illegal trade of wild creatures as pets and for their habitat protection. All the best, Carmen
