Zoo Wants Chimpanzee to Stop Smoking

[Kizzy]

Charlie, a grown male chimp and the Bloemfontein Zoo, has been picking up cigarettes thrown to him by visitors and smoking them -- a habit he probably picked up by observing humans, zoo officials told the SAPA news agency on Thursday.

Monkey see, monkey do.

He's trying to quit but the patches won't stay on.

This chimp should visit thetruth.com, so that he can read about the atrocities committed by Big Tobacco and the corporate killers!

Or maybe the zookeepers should explain horrible things that smoking is doing to his body with his continued dependance on nicotine.







OR they could just fcking stop giving him cigarettes....
It's not like he's getting them at the Circle K and sneaking them in.

Why don't they teach him how to brush his teeth?

"He even acts like a naughty schoolboy by hiding the cigarette when staff approach the area,"

I've resembled that remark...

...one of its chimps had taken up smoking and was desperately bumming cigarette butts off visitors

DUDE IS JONESIN LIKE A MO FO!!
