Today I visited the Amersfoort Zoo and was part of the visit guided by the director of the Zoo. He was a very directive fellow, ordering people what to do. He started with the remark ' We can see how well collegues can get on with one another here', then followed a set of stories about the cruelties that happen in animal life, he talked in detail about how a male monkey in a bad mood crashed a baby monkey to a stone and split its skull. He thought it hypocritical that people were shocked by this because we eat meat and; ' when you see a big bird chop and eat a little bird in our garden we think its ok' Do we? He does. Then followed an anecdote about a monkey who threw shit into a visiters face; which he told with great enthusiasm
