In the past weeks, I have been hearing news about little girls being raped. Come 2014, almost a total of 4 or more rape slash murder cases have been filed. Each case is from different cities here in the Philippines. It got me stunned! But what made me feel so sad is the fact that somewhere within Asia, a village held captive an animal as a "Sex Slave". Yes, you read it right! Two weeks ago, I and my officemates were talking about these rape cases that's currently happening here in our country, and one our officemate who's an animal lover said, there's even a worst case that is SO IMPOSSIBLE to believe. She said "I've seen a report of an Orangutan made as a sex slave somewhere in Asia." and I was like O_o "REALLY?" It got me curious and I started researching for it.

PONY THE ORANGUTAN SEX SLAVE IN BORNEO
Below information is from an article I've read way back 2011:
From the article:
"She was being used as a sex slave. She was probably about six or seven years old when we rescued her, but she had been held captive by a madam for a long time. The madam refused to give up the animal because everyone loved Pony and she was a big part of their income. They also thought Pony was lucky, as she would pick winning lottery numbers.
Did the clients realize that they were in fact getting an orangutan?
Oh yeah, they would come in especially for it. You could choose a human if you preferred, but it was a novelty for many of the men to have sex with an orangutan. They shaved her every other day, which meant that her skin had all these pimples and was very irritated. The mosquitoes would get to her very badly and the bites would become septic and be very infected, as she would scratch them constantly. They would put rings and necklaces on her. She was absolutely hideous to look at.
How did you get her away from there?
It took us over a year to rescue her, because every time we went in with forest police and local officers we would be overpowered by the villagers, who simply would not give her up. They would threaten us with guns and knives with poison on them. In the end it took 35 policemen armed with AK-47s and other weaponry going in there and demanding that they hand over Pony. It was filmed by a local television crew and in the background of the film when we are unchaining Pony you can hear the madam crying hysterically, screaming, “They are taking my baby, you can’t do this!” There is no law enforcement in Indonesia so these people didn’t face any sentence or anything for what they had done."
Is there any other indication of how far so-called "human beings" have fallen as a species?
And we have the nerve to call the creatures we exploit "animals." It's clear who the lesser of the species is.
If approached by a man, she would place herself in a sexual position. She was 6 or 7 years old when she was rescued and had grown up with prostitution almost all her life. Initially, the madam of the brothel refused to surrender the animal because she was a big part of their income. Yes, you read it right, even with human prostitutes, men and more men came regularly just to have sex with the orangutan.

We are living in A WORLD that is NOT SO SAFE ANYMORE! How can one do such crime? I felt so scared. Scared for a fact that God is really punishing 'ALL' of us because of those sin these people committed. Come to think of it. I know my family and I are not perfect. We at times do things that can harm our environment. But I make sure, as much as possible, to help patch things up to at least lend 'Mother Earth' a hand to survive. I thought to myself, HE is also punishing us because of what some of us does to our fellow. What one does affects each and every one of us.
As what Mother Teresa once said, "Go home and love your family." Everything starts within our home. The values we've acquired while growing up, is what we also share when we go out of our home. If our family taught us the right way and the true value of the gift of life, we’ll grow with fear that whatever mistake we’ll commit, HE will punish us.
I have a 3-year old son now and my Dear and I are planning of getting a baby girl (or another boy will do) in addition to our family. But of what’s currently happening in this world. Honestly, I am so scared of bearing a girl child. I don’t know, maybe I just got a little bit traumatized of what I‘ve heard and seen on the news this days. But I promised to myself, I will take good care of my children. I’ll make sure to teach them the values that God has taught us ever since. I'll make sure that they grow old embracing the commandments of the Lord.
To ALL MOMs out there. We should all join hands in helping our WORLD to be a better place. Let’s all start it within our own Family.
