It was for a time, back in the 50s & 60s. From what I’ve heard bosses would try and set up their unmarried junior employees with a ‘good match’ too, sometimes.

Thankfully, Pony, now 21, was rescued by the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, and now lives at one of their rehabilitation centres.

I take solace in the fact that she was rescued and is now living a safe, happy life.
