Sex Zoo Atlanta's bongo calf is appropriately named (because I want to beat it with my hands)

Zoo Atlanta's one-month old baby eastern bongo — that's an antelope, folks — is FINALLY entering its exhibit today. Look how jointy his leggies are!
Zoo-types say the eastern bongo is one of the rarest and most endangered species at Zoo Atlanta, because horrible assholes poach and hunt them for "bushmeat" in the wild. They estimate there are only, like, 500 left in their native Africa.
Speaking of endangered bongos, the obvious association here is the classic Bongo jean, an element of my middle school costume of choice (along with an oversized Yaga T-shirt and low-top Chuck Taylors). There are also only 500 of these left in the wild.

I still don't understand why you want to physically abuse this poor animal that is already an endangered species. This article did nothing to reveal your motives.

why are we subsidizing foreign animals? has zoo atlanta properly vetted this critter to make sure it isn't a terrorist? what are they hiding? i detect the barnyard stink of socialist conspiracy. if this alleged-animal thing didn't want to be endangered, it would get a job instead of leeching off the government. does it even pay taxes? of course not. send it back to africa where it belongs and let's get some all-american animals
