Indonesian Zoo Isolates Orangutan from Visitors to Stop Her from Smoking Their Lit Cigarettes

Bah; she’s 15, surely she’s old enough to make those kind of decisions for herself. ;)

FILE – In this Friday, July 6, 2012 file photo, Tori, a 15-year-old orangutan smokes a cigarette inside her cage at Satwa Taru Jurug zoo in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. Indonesian zookeepers have moved a female orangutan with a bad habit of smoking away from visitors who regularly throw lit cigarettes into her cage. Tori has been smoking cigarettes for a decade, mimicking human behavior by holding cigarettes casually between her fingers while visitors watch and photograph her puffing away and flicking ashes on the ground.
