Two orangutans at Taru Jurug Zoo, Surakarta, Central Java, have been forced to give up smoking after being relocated to an isolated area within the zoo.

Your comments:

What a scandal! They punish the animals and let the real criminals, the visitors, go free.

Where are we, please?

Michael Beer

Put the visitors who do not comply with the rules on the island and deprive them of cigarettes. The orangutans can watch them.
