A Scribble In October

Due to the vast amount he ate and the waste he produced,
and the scarcity of visitors interested in watching him,
the zoo administration decided to get rid of the old gorilla
and place him in an isolated cage for the rest of his life.

It can happen. When visitors are few, keeping a gorilla in the zoo that eats too much is a waste of money. So the authorities did a wise thing.

Zoo visitors do not want to see that old gorilla, nor smell his output anymore! Yes, authorities did a wise thing. Have a nice day !
