How do orangutans make good pets?
yes, some people do- in places like Borneo people keep them as pets because they think they are cute when they are babies so they catch them or buy them from a market. But when they get older they kill them or set them free( where they will die because they have no skill to get their food) and they will die.
Yes, and not just in Borneo and Sumatra. They are kept all over the world.
Orangutans are NOT good pets! Orangutans are an endangered species,and to get a baby orangutan for the pet trade, their mother is shot, and due to poor handling most infants die en route. Even if they are born in captivity, they are taken from their mothers at birth, and this has the exact same effect it would on a human mother and child.
Orangutans are extremely strong, way stronger than any human. No matter how loving a relationship they have with their owner there is always the possibility they will attack.
As infants, they are relatively easy to care for and can be raised as a human child. When they reach adolescence however, they start to become unmanageable, to the point where they have to be confined to a cage. Not even trainers in Hollywood can handle them at this point. After a lifetime of abuse, the orangutans are either put in abreeding situation or confined to a cage. Even a relatively well equipped cage is not ideal for an orangutan. They are simply too intelligent. It is like confining a human child to a cage their whole life.
Zoos usually cannot take pet orangutans, as they learn how to be an orangutan from their mother, and have no idea how to interact with other orangutans. Many are so humanized they view themselves as humans. Zoos are usually full anyway, and the same goes for sanctuaries.
IF you love orangutans, work to protect them in the wild, visit them in the zoo, or fundraise for the Center for Great Apes, but NEVER keep one as a pet.

How does deforestation affect orangutans?
Orangutans are animals adapted to live in the forest, they can not live anywhere else.
If the forest is all cut down all the Orangutans that lived in it will die because they have nowhere left to live.
Humans are rapidly cutting down all the forests that Orangutans live in and this means that if we do not stop doing this Orangutans will become extinct.
The people who live in the places where Orangutans are to be found know this yet they still cut down the forests, When there is not more forest and no more Orangutans, this will be their fault and there will be environmental consequences - they will pay for this stupidity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In many ways have they been affected. Most of the population of the orangutans are being killed and the population is decreasing. So if the deforestation keeps on going on and on and on. Then in about two decades they will probably most definitely be extinct.
