Orangutan Caught Smoking at Indonesia Zoo

A video shot in a zoo in Indonesia shows an orangutan picking up and smoking a cigarette after it had been tossed into the primate’s enclosure by a visitor. When posting the video to his social media channel, animal rights activist Marison Guciano wrote comments that said the visitors do not know how to interact with the animals properly and that supervision by zoo management is lacking. A spokesperson from Bandung Zoo, where the video was shot, told local media that under-staffing is a problem, but defended the zoo and told reporters “we have limited keepers, they are already working to the max.”
