Animal Theory

Bangkok’s Independent Newspaper In Chaing Mai, Thailand, The Night Safari Park is just opening. Visitors can take night rides to see over 700 wild animals and over 100 species. Though unimaginable, after viewing the animals, visitors can dine at the zoo’s restaurants to sample fresh lion, tiger, elephant, giraffe, zebra, horse, or dog meat.

Evidently Thailand’s Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is not at all concerned about the new restaurants and their effect on Thailand’s image. Shinawatra hopes the Park will become an enormous tourist attraction. Let us hope he will be surprised at the outpouring of disgust and rebuke that lead to the closing of these detestable dining halls.
