The Zagreb zoo in Croatia has opened a Homo Sapiens Exhibit:
quote:
People will be able to walk through two cages and feel what it's like to be held in captivity as well as learn why humans are "the most dangerous species on the planet."
"It is an action aimed at mobilising people against bad treatment of animals and encouraging them to protect the environment," zoo head Mladen Ancic told AFP.
These folks may want to watch their backs, though, because according to this page:
quote:
The director of the Zagreb zoo has been accused of torturing and killing animals at his facility, the daily Jutarnji reported yesterday. It said Mladen Anic has been accused by former zoo workers of beating a camel to death with a shovel, killing a polar bear and several monkeys with a shotgun, and killing several small bears and tigers "because there was no place for them in the zoo." He was also accused of assaulting people at the zoo, allegedly hitting them with telephones and soft-drink bottles, the daily reported.
I think I'd go to a museum instead.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.
