He also had a bullet in his chest which we removed on the scene,&#8221; the conservationist said in a statement. &#8220;It\u2019s clear that had we not been able to conduct the rescue, his future was to die starving here, or make a run for it where he could have been shot at and killed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>This excerpt from a news article appeared on and is courtesy of Mongabay.com and can be read in its entirety <a href=\"http:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2015\/0504-orangutan-rescue-mrn-gfrn-leuser.html\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Rhett A.
