Dr Roy Sirimanne suggested that the Taiping Four stay at the zoo they are 
currently being held at. However, it is the same facility that thought nothing of 
the paperwork that allowed four illegal young gorillas to show up at their 
front door. They have no right even caring for the gorillas.
Sirimanne wrote: "In the meantime, all those NGOs and gurus of animal 
conservation bicker about where the Taiping Four should go to, sensationalising this 
issue, seeking sympathy and funds from philanthropists and well wishers. Never 
a thought about the four!"
I cannot speak for all, though I know many of those folks care enough to 
fight for the gorillas. Yes, you will get some low-life looking out for their best 
interests. Unfortunately, some do use great apes for their own gain. I am not 
one.
