No. 23

Did you know that the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago is one of the last free zoos in the United States? I was strolling one Saturday morning watching the children in awe of the apes and lions and tigers as they ate their grub for the day. The tigers sliced their paws into hunks of dripping bloody raw meat as the apes crunched religiously on their leaves of green shinny lettuce. But what I waited for was a youngster to engage the caged animal, instead I was greeted with the salute of a nose pick. We’re not so different after all now are we?
