Really! Exclamation Drinking, smoking, sex...how can anyone deny evolution now?

There are actually treatment centers for chimps like this? Shocked


Russian Chimp Sent to Alcohol Rehab

By Nathaniel Hines

Proving once again that the evolution argument may be closer to home than you believe, a story out of Russia buttresses that argument.

Zhora, an ex-performing chimpanzee, lost his gig at his circus as he became more aggressive. His transfer to a zoo in the southern city of Rostov did not work out so well either. After learning there how to draw with markers, and fathering several baby chimps, he picked up a couple more bad habits � smoking and drinking.

"The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze," the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper reported.

Now, he has been transferred again. This time Zhora is headed to a monkey alcohol treatment center in the city of Kazan about 500 miles east of Moscow. Whether or not he learns the 12 steps may be harder to determine.

I did not make this up!

But actually, it is rather sad if you stop and think about it. This reminds of a news story I read about in which Indian elephants, who had been driven out of their natural habitat, had become addicted to liquor.
