What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Audubon Nature Institute.

Hank LedgerFolks, tonight we need to talk about Boo at the Zoo, the Audubon Nature Institute's Halloween weekend in New Orleans, where children dress up as animals and walk past the actual animals.
Hank LedgerTalking point number one. A lion is already terrifying, and nobody pays him a dime for it.
Hank LedgerA child puts on a lion hat and gets a candy bar. Really?
Hank LedgerTalking point number two. The flamingo has worn pink every single day of its life. No ribbon, no applause, no costume contest.
Hank LedgerJust a leg held up and a stare at nothing.
Hank LedgerThink about that. The otters have been doing the whole bit for free since opening day.
Hank LedgerTalking point number three. The zoo calls this a family weekend.
Hank LedgerI call it the one time a year when the humans finally put in the same effort the animals do every morning.
Hank LedgerSo here's my conclusion, and I want you to hear it. Go, enjoy the weekend, take the pictures.
Hank LedgerBut the monkeys are watching, folks, and they have seen better costumes than yours.
