 Learn the story of Budi, a small orangutan victim of illegal
wildlife trafficking who was rescued by International
Animal Rescue.

Budi was crying out of fear.

One day Budi came to the shelter, he was unable to move on his own and every touch hurt
him.
He was only one year old when he arrived at the shelter, all his life locked in a chicken
cage, without even being able to get out to stretch his body, he did not know how to walk,
sit or eat. Nobody cared about his welfare; and paid the worst consequences.
Luckily he arrived on time, then with intensive therapy, Budi was going to achieve it,
everything was new for Budi, from a warm milk to a few hugs to caress him.
At the shelter he was able to go to the vet, who determined that his health would be fine,
many found out about his story and began to receive support from all over the world, it
was difficult at first, after that, in weeks, he began to give his first Steps; feeding, sitting
and walking was a piece of cake.
When he was finally physically recovered, at first he had a hard time getting close to people
but now he is completely happy with the people around him.
