Russian Chimpanzee To Rehab

I told myself we weren’t going to start the week with this, but the best laid plans, etc.: “A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday. An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices. ‘The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze,’ the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper said.” I guess the markers are a promising sign. Art therapy is often helpful in cases like this.
