From the Other Side of the Cage

Alright, two things from the world of zoos: first of, Cute Knut, who apparently can't take a shit without making the international news, has received a death threat--Berlin police says they will not dispatch bodyguards to protect an ice bear, those heartless bastards!
And then this: there seems to be a chimp at a zoo in the Netherlands who's more interested in humans than in his own primate buddies. Which means, as a visitor you're supposed to look away when the hapless ape is looking at you. Wow! This might be the greatest act of subversity from the animal world to date: forcing people--whose sole reason of going to the zoo is to look at the animal--to cast down their eyes when you look at them. Way to go, Cheetah! Knock 'em dead!
