An Orangutan faces deportation after being caught for addiction, and was sent to the zoo in preparation for his expatriation. It has been referred to the Kuwait Zoo in preparation for deportation, reports Al- Rai daily quoting sources from the Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR). They affirmed that the one-year old baby orangutan is receiving full care at the zoo, adding that its mood keeps changing due to its addiction to drugs.

According to report, its owner was arrested following a traffic accident two months ago after he and his pet baby orangutan appeared under the influence of drugs. The owner, who was referred to the General Department of Drug Control, admitted that he used to share drugs with his pet for fun.

PAAAFR contacted the Indonesian embassy and asked the orangutan be sent to Indonesia because its natural habitat is there, and is threatened with extinction.
