Worst. Zoo. Ever.

The Post has unleashed one of its always-awesome two-part investigative articles, this time focused on everybody's favorite crime against nature, the National Zoo in D.C.

After reading the article, it would appear that Lucy Spelman, the zoo's director, is about as qualfied for her job as the Fat Boys are to be orderlies. Only without as much comedy, since many of the animals appear to have suffered quite a lot, and died slowly from long-term neglect.

My favorite part, from this timeline about frequent animal deaths, about a pair of giraffes that died from undernourishment:

After the first giraffe died, Spelman initially withheld pathology details from the media, citing the privacy rights of animals.
