\n Joe’s saga continues: (for those of you too lazy to scroll down to yesterday’s
\n entries, Little Joe is a teenaged 300-lb gorilla
\n who keeps sneaking out of the house and on Sunday was recaptured at a
\n bus stop in Dorchester). Zoo officials announced yesterday that they
\n were boosting security and launching 4 probes. Hey, lighten up, guys.
\n I’m sure Little Joe doesn’t like being probed any more than you do.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n following the startling escape of the 300-pound ape, who bolted out of
\n the gorilla pavilion Sunday, attacked two people, ambled off the zoo
\n grounds, and shocked residents by showing up at a bus stop on nearby
\n Seaver Street. <\/p>\n
\n Isn’t that ipso facto punishment enough? He was probably hankering for
\n mussli or tapas, tired of the same ole same ole in the pen. Maybe he
\n just wanted to step out for some fresh air. Jeez, have you SMELLED the
\n air at the Zoo lately?<\/em><\/p>\n
\n police yesterday demanded that Franklin Park Zoo officials quickly upgrade
\n security at the popular gorilla exhibit and refused to rule out putting
\n the restless primate to death in order to protect the public. <\/p>\n
\n they’re talking about the Death Penalty for Joe! This is Homeland Security
\n run amok. Whose fault is it that the damn gorilla got out? Who among
\n us would NOT try to escape 24-7 surveillence behind bars and the same
\n damn food every day?<\/em><\/p>\n
\n animal, but there are over 1000 of those in the NFL alone, and they
\n let THEM walk around free. Maybe some kind of supervised field trips
\n to Boston area schools and cultural institutions, a ball game once
\n in a while, and a little variety in the diet, as a minimum for a public
\n servant in the exausting glare of near-constant scrutiny. <\/em><\/p>\n
