The London Zoo’s Moonbat Exhibit




Well, no sooner do the fruitcakes over at PETA run their campaign comparing chained African slaves to animals in the university lab, when the London Zoo adds a new exhibit making the same point. Seems like the Moonbat is the main zoo species taking over there.

As reported in the Wall Street Journal, joining the Oriental small-clawed otter and the moon jellyfish were three male and five female Homo sapiens who came not to gaze but to be gazed upon. From Friday, Aug. 26, to this past Monday, they inhabite an enclosure next to their primate relatives. "A lot of people think humans are above other animals," noted one of the primates working at the zoo. "[This] kind of reminds us that we’re not that special." Speak for yourself, carpet-knuckles!

For years British moonbat activists harassed brothers Chris and John Hall, the owners of Darley Oaks Farm in Staffordshire, England, because they supply guinea pigs to hospitals and universities for medical research. The Halls announced they were closing Darley Oaks, after animal-rights radicals actually removed the body of Chris’s mother-in-law from her grave.

Though animals don’t think twice (or even once) about eating people or other animals, human moonbats battle to prevent the eating of meat. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) equate animal suffering with human suffering. For instance, in 2003, PETA launched the "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign, which likened chickens in processing plants to concentration-camp victims. More recent ads juxtapose elephants in chains with black people in chains.
