The behavior of some beer-sloshing humans at the London Zoo is enough to make a Creationist become an instant Darwinist.
And it certainly is enough to make most folks wonder just which species should really be locked inside those cages…
Kristina Bravo of Takepart.com writes about “more than a few disturbing incidents at this year’s Zoo Lates.” These
recipes for disaster (just add alcohol) include the following: a man “pouring beer over a tiger,” a woman attempting to enter the lion’s den, and another man wanting to waddle with the
penguins.
At first, these Zoo Lates fundraisers seemed like a brilliant idea.
The plan was to invite London’s “finest” in for a nocturnal walk on the wild side at $35 a head.
Apparently, though, ferocious beasts weren’t enough of a sensory stimulation. Stilt-walkers, comedians, and “fantastic food from around the world” were added to the mix. Still not enough… Bring on
the beer!
One attendee (after noticing fellow frolickers "crushing butterflies on the ground”) concluded: I don’t think
partying, alcohol and animals are a good combination.
A zoo spokesperson, however, begged to differ by pointing out that “only three people have been thrown out of the facility since 2013.”
