Somebody fed chili peppers to monkeys at the Clovis zoo over the weekend, causing the animals to suffer irritation when they rubbed their eyes.

Clovis’ Sally Lowry responded with this e-mail:

“I’ll bet many people would be happy to take turns observing at the zoo, to be sure no cruelty to the animals occurs again.

“Animals in zoos are far from home, and far from safe.”
