The hunt was for survival
The food was merely fuel
Now captive dancing monkeys
Has weakened the gene pool
Eating as performance
Is this a paradise on earth?
Slovenly and fattened up
For all of nature’s worth
Welcome to Universe 25
Coming to a city near you
Down into the behavioural sink
As all animals are wont to do
Inspired by another David Elikwu newsletter, this time about overabundance, how captive tigers are overfed by tourists and no longer hunt and the Universe 25 experiment, where rats in paradise ended up killing each other.
