Zoos serve many different purposes for us. They allow us to see our enemy face to beak, they allow us to publicly interrogate the animals and they also serve as death camps. No one seems to have told that to Zoo New England, operators of the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston.
The zoo gave Gigi the gorilla a colonoscopy. At first, this sounds like a great way to humiliate our enemy, but when you think about it, this is just ensuring the logevity of this prisoner of war. In this country, we don’t use our funds to keep our citizens healthy, so why do we allow our zoos to provide healthcare to its inmates?
Waterboarding is great, rough interrogation is even better, but there’s a fine line between anal probing and health services.
