A zoo in Indonesia has sent a female Orangutan to a jungle island in the middle of a lake to get her to quit smoking. Staff at the zoo claim she picked up the habit by picking up cigarette butts that were flicked at her.
Now zoos in southeast Asia aren't and never have been known for their humane methods. If you walk into one, you pretty much know what you're getting into. Par for the course would be a dead hippo floating in a pool, tigers sedated with massive doses of special K and at least a few Orangutans ripping darts. What you have to understand is in that part of the world people don't go to see an Orangutan in their natural habitat. They can see that shit in their backyard any day. They go to see a confined Orangutan smoking a fucking cigarette. I don't care that shit is hilarious.
Besides, who are they to take away her cigarettes anyway? If I was stuck in an Indonesian zoo I would want my cigarettes.
