re: #38 SanFranciscoZionist

Fifteen/twenty years ago, a monkey escaped from the San Francisco Zoo, taking her baby with her. They were spotted in a number of locations in the Sunset before she discovered Stern Grove, and decided it was a good baby-raising spot.

They were captured and returned to the zoo despite objections from a number of San Franciscans, myself included, who felt that a primate that had demonstrated that it can cross Nineteenth Avenue safely had pretty much earned the right to live independently in San Francisco if it so chose.

yes but such an intelligent creature would surely voted in a way that the local authorities just could not allow.
