Dixie Landing sued over chain smoking chimpanzee.

AP Article
quote:

An animal rights group is suing to get a chimpanzee named Candy out of an amusement park where, it says, she smokes cigarettes and is given soft drinks instead of water.


quote:

She also cited a letter from a veterinarian stating that an attempt to retire Candy to the Baton Rouge Zoo failed.

"She was returned because she couldn't adjust and couldn't assimilate," Treadway-Morris said. "It seems that if they want her to have company, she doesn't want it."


Ole girl just wants to live her life.

You do realize the vast number of boners that the confluence of these two related thoughts raises in:

Arkansas 82% (of the total adult male population)
Alabama 81%
Tennessee 79%
Kentucky 77%
West Virginia 72%

For you older folks, this is the same chimp that was at Fun Fair Park. I used to work with a guy who's in-laws own the place. He said that chimp is mean as hell and his FIL is the only one that can get near her.

She meaner than the boogieman himself. She escaped at least once. In 91 she went for a jaunt down Airline Highway and wrecked shop. Bit one person and punched another.

I worked at Blue Bayou for a summer many many many moons ago. They used to send the left overs and rotten produce over to Fun Fair Park for her to eat.

There once was a primate named Candy,
Who resided in old Dixie Land, see,
Where she'd live and she'd die,
And amuse passers-by,
Because she thought that fa.gs were just dandy

I was giving "cigarettes" to that monkey 30 years ago.
