This is a perfect tome for a "bear on a uni-cycle" joke. Unfortunately I don't know any. *NM* everynametaken Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 02:21:43 AM
Seriously? I mean how the heck did the chimp get cigarettes and booze in the first place? and how did he continue to get them to where he got addicted? So we humans basically took an innocent creature and made is a slave to the vices that afflict us? The chimp was begging people that passed by for booze and cigarettes? It is so sad to me that we would do this to an animal. Team Tillikum baby.

A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday.

An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices.

"The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze," the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper said.

It added he has now been transferred to the city of Kazan, about 500 miles east of Moscow, for rehabilitation treatment.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
