In 2003, an orangutan named "Pony" in Indonesia was imprisoned by humans in an entertainment venue. Although Pony tried to escape, no matter how hard she tried, she was unsuccessful. Eventually, she was forced to wear makeup, dress and pick up customers, receiving just two pounds per service for six years. This history has aroused widespread attention and discussion, and there has been a profound reflection and discussion on the issue of human cruelty to animals.

1. Background

In Indonesia and neighboring countries, many wild animals are threatened by illegal hunting, trafficking and captivity. These animals are often used for gambling, shows, or sold as pets. This situation has had a serious negative impact, not only hindering the development of the local ecology, but also leading to a lot of ecological damage and animal loss.

1. A change in perception

With the gradual deepening of awareness of environmental protection and animal protection, more and more people realize that we should regard all living things on the earth as a whole, including human beings. Therefore, the protection of animals has become a common problem faced by human beings around the world.
