Boo at the Zoo This Weekend

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFolks, 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.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number one. A lion is already terrifying, and nobody pays him a dime for it.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA child puts on a lion hat and gets a candy bar. Really?

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number two. The flamingo has worn pink every single day of its life. No ribbon, no applause, no costume contest.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJust a leg held up and a stare at nothing.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThink about that. The otters have been doing the whole bit for free since opening day.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number three. The zoo calls this a family weekend.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI call it the one time a year when the humans finally put in the same effort the animals do every morning.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo here's my conclusion, and I want you to hear it. Go, enjoy the weekend, take the pictures.
