Date: 2009

From: Moreu, Michael, 1969-: [Digital cartoons published in the Christchurch Press and Fairfax Media]

Reference: DCDL-0011803

Description: In five frames a group of corporate managers try to solve the problem of how to retain the habitat of orangutans while at the same time getting the palm oil they need for their chocolate. In the end they decide to battery farm the orangutans because apparently the fat of apes improves the taste of the product as much as palm oil so in this way they will save the tropical forest habitat of the orangutan at the same time as increasing numbers of orangutan. There is a scandal because Cadbury's have decided to add palm oil to their chocolate which endangers the rain forest habitat of orang-utan in Southeast Asia. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
