The Daily Maul

Sixty-five animals were left to freeze to death in a Mexican concentration camp this past weekend. Camp Comandante Alberto Hernandez provided CNN with the official death toll and a list of exterminated species.

Among the dead, the CNN report tells us, were “one Capuchin monkey, 14 parrots and parakeets, 12 snakes, three crocodiles, five iguanas, 10 peacocks, and 20 hens.”

The CNN report also tells us: “The Capuchin monkey, named Botitas, or Little Boots, was just 6 months old and had been born at the zoo.”

This and countless other concentration camps — carefully branded as “zoos” by the tourism industry’s propaganda machine — have long operated with impunity in countries around the world.

Despite noble attempts by certain individuals and organizations to expose the human oppression of other animal species, the majority of humankind continues to ignore or deny the existence of such camps, giving prisoners little hope of liberation in their lifetimes.
