Orangutans stay in a cage in a wildlife protection centre in Ratchaburi province, about 125 km (78 miles) west of Bangkok April 15, 2006. Wildlife officials from Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia are scheduled to meet on April 21 to decide the fate of dozens of orangutans which were smuggled into Thailand nearly two years ago. Thai authorities in 2004 confiscated more than 100 orangutans from the private Safari World zoo near Bangkok, where they were forced to perform in daily boxing matches.
