Frank Mickadeit is a columnist for the Orange County Register who recently spent three days behind bars at the Santa Ana Zoo. Mickadeit's technical name was 'Columnist Horribilis' and there was even a live webcam filming his misadventures.
Seeing a human in a zoo exhibit is one thing, but seeing a human as a zoo exhibit is another altogether. Reactions to the Frank Mickadeit exhibit ranged from shocked to outraged. I think this is an awesome idea. I would love to see other humans loaned to zoos on a regular basis.
