They will accidentally cut the baby. They then chain the baby up or put it in a crate about the size of a large dog cage. They are traumatized and you want to handcuff them to a tree?

      Thats not actually ideal though. Orangutaans are solitary. In the wild they prefer to be alone, only really socializing for mating and raising babies. So growing up means learning how to be without mama. But all babies in any species, even humans, have this, so this process of weaning is perfectly natural.
