- Oh ok, but which animal is Palm Oil mostly hurting and why?
- Palm oil is bad for orangutans because palm oil causes deforestation and when orangutans lose their habitats it affects their skills to survive so the more amount of Palm Oil people use the more likely of a chance Orangutans could be extinct soon.
- Wow that is so interesting! so if it affects animals then does that mean that Palm Oil also affect humans and why?
