A blog article entitled “Monkeys instead of hookers – The terrible orangutan brothels of Indonesia” is currently causing a stir on social networks.

We have received a number of inquiries bash-magazine.com on May 31, 2017 So a quick check: what’s going on? After a simple check using search engines, you can already say: the content statement is in no way the product of the author's imagination, but has already found a place in various media several times in the past. Admittedly, a few sources or comprehensible references would not have been wrong, as it would prove that the content is justified.

However, there are various places on the Internet that describe a very similar frightening scene. As early as April 2002, Focus wrote under the title “Affenschande” [ 1 ]:

He split the skull of the female primate with a machete and sold the baby. This is how the poacher makes a living: he slaughters orangutan mothers and steals their young so that they can amuse people in the cities of Asia. As child substitutes, lovers, lap dogs, sex slaves or circus clowns.

The article reports on various bizarre purposes for which orangutans are captured and kept, but unfortunately also killed. Among other things, also for prostitution:

Twelve prostitutes aged 14 to 40 and Poonie are dozing in the “Sweet Woman Forever” brothel, a lightless wooden shack. The three-year-old orangutan girl wears an iron chain with a padlock around her left ankle. He is clean-shaven, including his genitals, and his head has been styled with a mohawk.

More positions

In August 2008, both SPIEGEL and WELT reported on a ZDF documentary in which actor Hannes Jaenicke advocates for orangutans, which are threatened with extinction. Der Spiegel wrote on August 13, 2008 under the title “Man is a wolf to the monkey” [ 2 ]:

[…] and he documents the story of a female orangutan who, as unbelievable and perverse as it may sound, was freed from a brothel where she had to serve men for years, shaved and chained to a bed.

article in WELT with the publication date August 13, 2008 under the title “Hannes Jaenicke and the enslaved orangutans” [ 3 ] also describes

They are used as go-go girls, kept as sex slaves and traded in markets: orangutans in Southeast Asia. […] A female orangutan is freed and rescued from a brothel. Shorn bald, it had been tied to a bed in a dark room for five years for sexual gratification.

The documentary produced for ZDF cannot currently be found in any official media library; the production company “Tangofilm” has a press release regarding the production [ 4 ] online on its website.
