Fri Feb 26, 11:23 am ET MOSCOW (Reuters) – A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday. An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices.
"The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze," the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper said.
It added he has now been transferred to the city of Kazan, about 500 miles east of Moscow, for rehabilitation treatment.

LOL that is hilarious and sad at the same time. Gotta think about how many times people have given him booze for him to have a problem lol. I doubt the monkeys at the Litte Rock Zoo are sticking thier hands out for a couple of smokes, more like some candy or snacks. Thoes Ruskies, always booozing up the chimps.
