Dying baby orangutan who was snatched from his mother in the Borneo rainforest is rescued

A traumatised baby orangutan who was snatched from the wild to be sold as a pet was locked up alone in a dark cage and left to die. It is thought tiny Udin was clinging to his mother when she was killed by poachers in the Borneo rainforest and torn away from her body to be sold to a local farmer. When he arrived at International Animal Rescue's Orangutan Centre in Borneo, his tiny body was malnourished and dehydrated, but he had no interest in eating or drinking. The vets looking after him believe he had given up on life and 'tried to die several times' following his rescue.
