These harrowing images show a young orangutan in great suffering after he was snared in a hunter's trap
/ 060412
[These harrowing images show a young orangutan in great suffering after he was snared in a hunter's trap. The young male ape would have died after his hand got caught in a wild boar snare, deep in an Indonesian rainforest - and even tried to gnaw his hand off. He was saved from certain death by UK-based charity International Animal Rescue, but sadly his right hand will have to be amputated due to the severe injury he suffered. The orangutan was named Pelangsi after the area of forest in the Ketapang region where he was found. The great ape is thought to have endured more than ten days of agony in the trap with no food, surviving on rainwater alone, before rescuers found him, following a tip-off from locals.] (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)

Gorilla Shufai lebt seit seiner Kindheit im Mefou Nationalpark
Gorilla Shufai wird im Mefou Nationalpark operiert

[Mar 14, 2012 - Cameroon - For ten long years, Shufai has carried the painful legacy of his mother's murder. He was still a baby clinging to this mother's arms when hunters opened fire in Cameroon's forests. Bullets killed his mother and left his arm peppered with gunshot. Too small to be killed for meat, the terrified gorilla was forced to walk to a village with a rope around his neck, where he was tied to a bed and tormented by children. After a week in agony, the injured youngster was rescued by the conservation group Ape Action Africa and taken to a sanctuary where, with love and patience, his emotional wounds began to heal.
But despite emergency surgery, he indicated as each year passed that the pain in his arm was worsening.
Now ? as these extraordinary pictures show ? Shufai?s pain has finally ended. Last week, three vets from Britain flew to Cameroon to carry out an operation on Shufai?s arm.
Rachel Hogan, who manages the sanctuary in the Mefou National Park, said: ?He was just 12 months old when he was rescued, and he was incredibly traumatised. You couldn?t touch him, you couldn?t do anything with him.] (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)

*** Floyd, the Old English Sheepdog is sheared at an animal charity after suffering severe neglect. ***
[A rescued dog can finally see again after he was so severely neglected he became trapped in a filthy ball of his own matted hair - weighing a shocking 2 stone. Floyd, an Old Englishsheep dog, was picked up by an animals charity after he was bundled out of a van and left tied up with a piece of string on the street. His filthy hair was so long and matted that he struggled to see, hear or go to the toilet and his nails had grown so long it was painful to walk. But he is now recovering after vets performed a two hour operation to shave off 2 stone (13 kg) of matted hair and clip his two-inch long nails.] (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)
