Oh that annoys me, especially when I see trash near the appropriate disposal bins! I've picked up the habit of collecting any zoo maps I see thrown on the ground and either taking them home as extras or putting them in the map recycle bins.

Not witnessed by me but holy cow. Ever a Puritan, I think she should have been charged with trespassing, as well as reckless endangerment, and taken for a psychiatric evaluation.

If we're doing behavior we haven't witnessed but know about now, I remember when that dude jumped off the Bronx Zoo monorail into the Amur Tiger enclosure because he wanted to face his fears!
Now I've not witnessed this myself but I've overheard stories from kids at my school who say they've gone to zoos high.... A complete waste of a zoological experience and a annoying disturbance if you ask me.

Don't worry, in my experience most of them don't bother to vote.
Sooty Mangabey's comment made me think you were referencing The Sopranos. And trust me, I don't want to hear about the rest.
Did they at least share with the animals?If we're doing behavior we haven't witnessed but know about now, I remember when that dude jumped off the Bronx Zoo monorail into the Amur Tiger enclosure because he wanted to face his fears!

I'm currently watching the Sopranos, I think for the 4th time, on Series 5 at the moment. Best TV series ever.

I saw something similar, except it was a kid throwing potato chips into the chimpanzee exhibit.

Unless they are in Australia, in which case voting is mandatory.

What happens if you don't vote? Do the poll police come knocking on your door?
Someone has to say it......
That is the very definition of a kangaroo court.

you get a $20 fine. If you don't pay the fine then you get taken to court and receive a bigger fine (plus the court costs I suppose).

Oh that's just the minor offence court, you don't want to find yourself up with the higher courts run by the Dingos and, even worst, the Platypus!

What do the Platypus do, sting you?
Actually only attending the polling place and accepting a ballot paper is mandatory. What you do with the ballot paper is up to you. Some people are quite creative.
