Cop Investigated For Feeding Gorillas Pop-Tarts

GORILLA poptartsA police officer in America is under investigation over allegations that last year he snuck into a zoo after hours to feed gorillas Pop-Tarts.

The police officer, who hasn't been identified, was reportedly one of a larger group of people let into Como Zoo in St. Paul, Minneapolis, by two security guards at around 2 a.m. one day last January.

Surveillance cameras caught the officer apparently then trying to feed the snacks to the gorillas, who are named Schroeder, Gordy and Togo. The zoo says that Pop-Tarts are not part of a gorilla's diet.

The zoo says they don't know if the gorillas actually ate the Pop-Tarts, but that the animals do not appear to have suffered any ill-effects from the experience.

Just another example of a cop doing something that makes the rest of us look bad...heck, everyone knows that gorillas eat bananas, not pop tarts. Just kidding - an now I'm back to work.

First, it was Twinkies, then it was Big Macs, now it's PopTarts. The big fella probably liked them, and so did the Gorilla, if he ate them. Probably made for big stinky gorilla poops for the zookeepers and that's why they're honked about it. I don't think the Officer deserves a reprimand. I'd put a box of PopTarts on his desk.

I say, if he wants to feed the gorilla a Pop Tart, drop Britney Spears in there! There is a Pop Tart we can all live happily without.

Let's just drop Britney out of an airplane in the high desert. The coyotes and vultures are scavengers!

Maybe he was making the rounds and just liked sharing a snack with his buddy? If he was sharing bananas with the gorilla, I bet no one would have cared! Poptarts probably made for stinky poops for the zookeepers to clean up, that's all he's guity of, giving a gorilla stinky poops!

For my Desert Friends, I apologize! Drop Britney and Paris Hilton into the great Pacific Trash Gyre, no one will notice more trash floating around out there and they'll blend in.
