Zoo Wants Chimp To Stop Smoking

Ape Picked Up Habit From Visitors



POSTED: 3:47 pm EDT April 22, 2005


BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa -- A South African zoo wants a chimp to go cold turkey.

The chimpanzee smokes cigarettes. Keepers said Charlie picked up the habit by watching smoking visitors. People toss him the smokes and he puffs away.


A spokesman at the Bloemfontein Zoo said, "It looks funny to see a chimp smoking" -- but Charlie's trick could cost him his health.


The zoo is asking people to stop tossing cigarettes and contributing to the chimp's habit.


A zoo official said Charlie "acts like a naughty schoolboy" and hides his cigarettes when workers are around.

but really, he's kept in a freaking pen with nothing else to do, might as well smoke and get his lame life over with.

and every Friday, to drum extra revenue, the zoo should start up Chimpanzee Crack Night, and throw some squirrels in his pen after he smokes the rock.
