[edit] Additional info

I removed the following recently added to Orangutan where it doesn't belong...

Young captive orangutans have been used in films, TV and advertising.

The Clint Eastwood movies Any Which Way You Can and Every Which Way But Loose featured an orangutan named Clyde who died shortly after the latter film was made. An assistant trainer admitting beating Clyde with a cane and ax handle, which was not illegal at the time.^[1]

The television soap opera Passions used an orangutan named BamBam. Baby orangutans have also been used in television commercials for companies such as Ask.com, Capital One and Visa.

Entertainer Bobbi Berosini used several orangutans in his Las Vegas show act ^[2] until he was videotaped beating the animals back stage.^[3] Animal rights group PETA publicized a videotape of the abuse and entered into a long series of lawsuits with Berosini who eventually agreed to release custody of the orangutans and promise not to own or use non-human primates.^[4] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Merbabu (talk • contribs) 00:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I have added this text in a new section Use in Entertainment. It seems like it belongs in this article per Merbabu's comment above. Bob98133 (talk) 17:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
