What I really want to know is who started this Chimp up on smoking in the first place. As much as I'm a believer in Monkey See Monkey Do, someone had to teach the animal to take a drag, and someone needed to either help Ai Ai light the cigarette or teach Ai Ai to use a lighter. I'm amazed that they didn't just stop her habit as soon as they discovered it 16 years ago, as a chimpanzee in a cage isn't going to just walk down to the liquor store, plunk her change on the counter and get a pack of cigarettes.
I mean, we have "Do Not Feed Animals" posted, do we really need to post "Do Not Give Animals Cigarettes?"
