Controversy grows over Orangutan smoking cigarette at Indonesian Zoo
KUSI ^

A video of an Orangutan smoking a cigarette at an Indonesian Zoo is drawing a lot of criticism.
A man flicked his cigarette into the primates enclosure at which point the orangutan picked it up and began smoking it. The act drew some laughter from the crowd at the time, but now activists are saying the video is just further evidence of the Bandung Zoo’s lack of supervision.
The zoo has previously been accused of starving its animals and was temporarily closed in 2016 after an elephant was found dead with bruises on its body.

How about letting him smoke pot instead of cigarettes? I’m sure these lefty animal rights activists would have no problem with that!

Indonesians make clove cigarettes, called kreteks, which will really do a number on your lungs. I hope this wasn’t one of them.

If children can smoke in Indonesia (and apparently they can) then why shouldn’t Orangutans be able to smoke?

I guess veterinarians are supposed to care for animals who reside at a zoo. Presumably that would be feeding them appropriately, and keeping harmful substances away from them.
